Hmmm. That's not enough.

John Doe checks what the newspaper charges for advertising. If it's more then 50 dollars, he goes back to making posters.

All he ever wanted was some steak. And some good ol' fashioned cola. At least he wasn't on charges for arson. It would be a shame for the descendant of a transport conglomerate to have a criminal record first day on the job.

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

"Ayyo', you have to fill out the applications before you can work here. Else, I don't know if you're a plant or some shit. Or a Narc. You a Narc boy?"

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

"Do you want to work here or not? I'm not having defensive/hostile employees."

Business stuff:

Buy a business newspaper. See what demographics spend the most money in this city, (demographics on gender, race, age, etc.). After finding the most important demographics, see what sort of products they want the most. Also check on the prediction for how well the national economy is doing at the moment, and how well it should do in the near future.

Check our inventory to see what kind of things we're actually selling.

Normalize the prices of everything, as $.50 is too low for some stuff, despite the name. However, to keep things in the 50 Cent spirit, instead of ending prices in $X.00, or $X.99, make sure everything is $X.50. (Ex.; Hotdogs cost $1.50)

See how much I, and each of my employees, have in our private bank accounts.

Check out any abandoned lots or stores going out of business that we could potentially move into.


Lily appear from off screen next to the customers "Hello sir or madam, welcome to the store."

Selly, selly, selly
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.)

"Hello there miss. I am Sir 50 Cent. I have some questions for you to answer:"

What is your full name?
Where do you live?
What is your highest degree in education?
What is your past job experience?
What is your criminal record?
Can you be a thug?
