The staff had been receiving complaints from customers that a staff member had been letting customers cut in line in exchange for a $3 tip. They would later find out that Anton, who works the pawn desk, had been doing the evil deed.

However, Seth wanted Anton fired, as he was still burned over another trusted employee who was later arrested for theft - Joe the head of security.
