In Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob prepares for the opening ceremony of the Krusty Krab 2 (located next to the original Krusty Krab), believing that his boss Mr. Krabs will promote him as manager. At the ceremony, the title is instead given to his co-worker Squidward Tentacles. Krabs says that Squidward is more mature and that SpongeBob is "just a kid" who is unable to handle the task, upsetting SpongeBob.
