History Recap / BobsBurgersS9E3Tweentrepreneurs

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: The Dine-and-Dasher takes off one last time during the closing credits, with Bob exiting the kitchen to chase him(it's likely non-canon, as that defeats the fact he paid all the money he owed for his past Dine-and-Dashes).

** Early in the episode, Bob gives the kids a speech about not compromising quality, which he maintains when Tina tries to give him business suggestions that would involve doing this. The subplot with the Dine-and-Dasher, in a weird way, proves this, as he's only going back time and time again and ultimately decides to pay back all the money he owes and become a legimate customer because of how incredibly good Bob's food is.
* RefugeInAudacity: A guy pulls a DineAndDash in Bob's Burgers in full view of the only staff members, then comes back to do it again ''twice''. He just liked the burgers ''that'' much (he's hit other places before, but Bob's Burgers is the only one he came back to). In the end, he finally pays them back for all the money he owes them and says he wants to become a legimate customer, which Bob accepts, but not before taking some precautions: [[NoKillLikeOverkill he has him sit on a specific bar stool away from the cash register and as far from the door as possible, Louise duct-tapes his hands and legs together, he can only manipulate his wallet with his nose, any change he'd normally receive is automatically converted to tips instead, and Tina will be feeding him like a baby.]]

-->'''Dine-and-dasher''': Train, please.

* SupremeChef: Turns out the dine and dasher repeatedly hit the restaurant because Bob's burgers are ''that'' good.
* SuspectIsHatless: Teddy tries to draw a facial composite of the dine and dasher based on what he and Linda can remember about his looks. All they can remember is that he had two eyes and a nose.

** The exterminator van is "[[Franchise/EvilDead The Weevil Dead]]".

* NoNameGiven: The customer who dines and dashes is never named. During his "identical twin" disguise he claims the dine-and-dasher's name (read: his name) is Gary, but it's left unclear if this is just part of his facade.

* FakeTwinGambit: The third time the dine-and-dasher comes to Bob's he pretends to be his own twin apologizing for his brother's actions, which Bob ([[OnlySaneMan obviously]]) doesn't buy. When he tricks Bob into giving all his money back while making change, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Linda thinks both twins are evil]].

* HeelFaceTurn: The dine-and-dasher becomes a legitimate customer and repays Bob all the money he owes.

* DineAndDash: The B-plot has Bob dealing with a serial dine-and-dasher.

* AffablyEvil: The dine-and-dasher is a genuinely neat guy who eventually becomes a legitimate customer. He's also, well, a dine-and-dasher.

Tina tries to be the bridge between workers and leaders on a school business venture, but soon begins to lose herself in the role. Back at the restaurant, Bob and Linda deal with a Dine and Dasher.

* AdultsAreUseless: Invoked; Frond doesn't intervene with the kids' business. Although, given he's ''Frond'', he probably wouldn't have been much help if he had intervened.

* BreakTheCutie: Poor Rudy gets it worse that the others as part of the Wood Chuck production line. His job is to sand the blocks, which aggravates his asthma, and his request for a mask goes ignored. In the end, he starts hallucinating Wood Chucks, prompting Louise (who had previously put on a brave face) to finally launch a strike.

* KarmaHoudini: Despite the fact that they ''also'' helped to tank the company (by using the profits on snacks for themselves and treating the woodchuck makers like crap, which is why Tina approached them in the first place) all of the other eighth-graders get away with being corrupt and selfish with Tina taking the blame from everyone. Although to be fair, it's only [[AlphaBitch''Tammy'']] who blames Tina for it, and overall each of them was in hot water for their bad business roles and sinking their earnings into snacks.

* NoOSHACompliance: The working conditions for making the Wood Chucks are just a notch above a sweatshop. Asthmatic Rudy gets no mask to protect him from sawdust, there is no ventilation for varnish fumes, and management is more concerned with getting snacks than the well being of their subordinates. It eventually gets to Rudy, who basically goes insane, and the others go on strike. Justified in that they're all grade-school students (with the ones running the show being in eighth grade), but Mr. Frond, who is teaching the class, [[AdultsAreUseless offers no supervision whatsoever]].

* YoungEntrepreneur: As part of a class project, the kids have to come up with a business and then run it. Jimmy Jr. comes up with Wood Chucks, wood blocks with googly eyes. He, Tammy, Jocelyn and Zeke name themselves management, leaving the Belchers and Regular-Sized Rudy as manufacturing. Tina goes to complain about the working conditions and is made a middle manager to shut her up. She ends up ruining the company by forcing the workers to double production, which leads to shoddy products that lose demand, then by owing Edith for buying too many googly eyes.

* LiteralMetaphor: Bob says that when the restaurant was opened, he didn't have two nickels to his name.

-->'''Tina''': Hello, I'm Tina and I'll be your waiter today. Would you prefer your food to be a some kind of a plane or a train?

* DisneyOwnsThisTrope: Mr. Frond mentions selling Franchise/DoctorWho scarfs on Esty until he got a cease-and-desist. He also mentions a Series/MelrosePlace-mat business that got busted for similar reasons.

* NoNameGiven: The customer who dines and dashes is never named.

** When the Wood Chucks company is established, Tina gets promoted to manager and convinces the others to up production, which can only be achieved by cutting corners. The resulting product is shoddy and gives people splinters, so kids stop buying them. In desperation, Tina makes smaller versions and brand them as Wood Chucks 2.0, thinking that customers will be stupid enough to fall for it. They're not.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: InUniverse. Mr. Frond says that he once had an Etsy store selling hand-knitted Series/DoctorWho scarves, until he got a cease-and-desist letter from PBS lawyers that "practically threatened to break [his] fingers."

** The store in the opening reads [[Music/JerryLeeLewis Whole Lotta Shaker Furniture Going On]]. The exterminators are [[Franchise/EvilDead The Weevil Dead]].
** Bob's final special is [[Film/TheLittleShopOfHorrors The Little Chop of Horseradish]] Burger.
