I'd like to make an adjustment to my character.

Rather than being some random person, wouldn't it be more appropriate if I was actually 50 Cent?

No idea who he is. Go for it. Just post what you want them to do.

"Aight', gather round people. Here's what's going down on your first day:

Objectives:

*Spread word about the store. Draw posters, scream at people, whatever, just make sure everyone in town knows.
*Talk to our current customers in line. Convince them to buy more stuff then they need. '
*Scout out that dollar store, I want to know exactly who and what we're facing.
*Secure weaponry, this is important in the long-run.
*Most importantly, don't fuck up. Really.

"That's the rules. Now, get your ass to work."

(As Boss, what additional powers do I have besides running the business? For example, am I allowed to fire bad employees and promote good ones?)

Yes- At the moment, no one is earning a salary. You can promote people to ranks that you create, and give them different salaries that come from the business money-pool. If you don't pay enough, the employees may overrun you, behead you, and appoint a new boss.

Mark hides a trail of clues and riddles around the city, with the final one giving a discount at the store.

No idea who he is.

Background information on 50 Cent:

50 Cent grew up as a poor child in New York. He grew up into a successful gangsta' rapper in the early 2000's, even earning a few No. 1 songs in the United States. It was during this period he was shot 50 9 times, and survived.

Nowadays, he is not as influential in the rap world, but is a successful business man, promoting things like clothing, boxing, and vitamin water with Joan River.

Can and shall!

crawl into vents of nearby  Pawnshop, promptly abduct owner and eat Subdue him, steal weapons and items

EDIT:if there are armed guards retreat and ask for help dealing with them, and then go in, with said persons into the vents, if they are too fat to stick in, then i shall tackle one of the guards while the fat one sits on them, then we steal weapons and things! Oh and look for lots of knives for special plan.

I can do that. So.... how long until you start paying us?

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

This person runs up from some distance away, gets in line to buy something, then suddenly has an idea and walks up to TCM. "Can I work here? I love the number 50! (She pulls out 50 half-dollar coins, amounting up to $25.)"
(Now begins a job interview- TCM, ask her questions, like what would she do if THIS or THAT happened, etc. She will answer, and if you like the answers, you can hire her. If not, you can continue the interview or say no.)

4: You make about 3 posters, and slam them up around town. You put one on the door of the dollar shop, just to make 'em realize, they have no chance!

*Snip*

Autofail: You have no idea of where a pawnshop is! You explore around, and 2: Get beat up in a back alley, while some guy tries to steal your stuff. He fails, but you didn't find anything.

"Mrrnhh.. fine. I'll set up a steakout I mean stakeout."
Steakout the Dollar Store.
5: You run in with a barbecue, some steak, and some gasoline. When you leave, it's mostly on fire, and you managed to figure out that they're losing business fast, especially whilst they burn. The fire-brigade shows up and puts it out, but they soon sell out their shop and get the heck away.

MOONWALK INTO DOLLAR STORE, SHOUT:

"LOOK AT THESE SHITTY WARES HOW ABOUT YOU BUY YOUR SHITTY WARES FOR 50 CENTS LESS AT OUR COOL FUCKING STORE"

TRY TO MOONWALK OUT WITHOUT BEING STABBED
6: You walk in, see some stupid dollar store people grouping around.... Dark Artemis Fowl? You walk over and see that DAF was filling a portable barbecue with gasoline. You pull out a match, chuck it, grab his arm, and run out feeling like a boss.

TCM: No action, so auto-action- (AS BOSS, YOU STILL GET AN ACTION) Tend to the people in line!:
4: You manage to sell some 0.50$ stuff to 2 of the 3 people, whilst the third runs off, seeing huge fires bursting out from over a block away. Overall, you made a profit of 3$!!!

CORPORATE FUNDS: 3$! Employees or Boss can donate to as they wish.

Spoiler: Upgrade store! (click to show/hide)
