** This also bites the manager in the butt later on when she ends up doing this to the founder of the store, in other words, her boss. Things aren't going to end well for her and her job.
Added DiffLines:
* TwoTimerDate: Yvette, Floyd, and Marcus try to get TJ dates for the upcoming dance, but because they didn't tell the other (and because TJ fears saying "no" to their choices would hurt his family), he ended up getting three dates, and Mo's suggestion to hide it makes it hilariously worse.
** Also invoked on Marcus, who unwittingly ends up asking twins out. See IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine above.

Added DiffLines:
* WrittenInAbsence: There was an episode where TJ was absent for most of the episode. This was explained in-episode with him being at a Science camp, a process that also severely drained Floyd's account and thus forced Yvette and Marcus to get jobs (the latter of whom also ended up choosing the worst possible job for him: Late Night Radio Talk).

* ManipulativeBastard: Less on the "bastard" part, but T.J. is ''very'' good at manipulating people to get what he wants (or for what he thinks is someone's own good), and every once in a while an episode or subplot revolves around him doing so. To his credit, though, he is always very apologetic about it, and tends to go out his way to make amends.
