Synopsis
It starts with Stan, Dipper, and Mabel sitting around the television, watching "Cash Wheel". The wheel on tv lands on Cash Shower, flooding the man on TV with money, the other contestants take some, and he punches them down. Stan laughs and says he likes his style. A busload of tourists arrives and Stan looks out the window and tells Wendy to raise the prices. When she raises it to $20 he says to raise it to $200. Dipper tells Stan that he must see customers as wallets with legs. Stan says he doesn't, but when he looks to the customers, he sees wallets with legs. One of the customers vomits (while an imagined wallet) and Stan tells Dipper to clean it up. While giving a tour of the shack, Stan shows the tourists several of his attractions, including "The Preteen Wolf Boy" who is really just Dipper dressed as a wolf



It then switches to Mabel at the cash register. She talks about Mystery Shack bumper stickers. One woman asks how much is one. Mabel says it's free and she gives it away. Unfortunately, Stan spots her and is mad at her. Mabel then says that Stan should have manners. She puts stickers that say Please and Thank you on Stan. Stan takes them off while saying "The word please doesn't make me any money kid." Dipper and Mabel then criticize Stan's work methods. Mabel writes a complaint.

Then Soos, Wendy, Mabel and Dipper paint the mystery shack sign with sparkles. They talk about what they don't like about the way the shack is run.Mabel goes to complain about Stan rejecting one of Soos's ideas, and they end up making a bet. If Stan earns more money on his 3 day vacation than Mabel while she runs the Mystery Shack, Mabel has to wear a shirt around that says "Loser". If Mabel earns more, Stan has to sing a song about apologizing and to let Mabel run the shack for the rest of the summer.
