I removed the plot hole about the store's lease not being up for months. I can't find any reference to the store's lease not being up for months. The closest thing I can find is the joke about the I Ching saying that the store had 6 months until bankruptcy. The I Ching is an ancient Chinese divination text whose predictions would not be accepted by debt collectors in determining whether to repossess goods by a new age store.
