    Minimum wage. Shoot. There was a time when the maximum wage for black folks was zero, as Doc says. Chris quits Doc's store and gets a job at the local Chinese restaurant, a place of minimum wage and minimum fun. Unfortunately for Chris, his new boss, Mr. Fong, is nothing like Doc at all. He never lets Chris do his homework during his off-time and makes him do all sorts of work, like cleaning the restaurant and delivering Chinese food to the neighborhood, but eventually Chris gets sick of it and quits. I remember when Julius repeatedly asked Chris, "What if (insert random person's name here) quit?" in "Corleone," but this time it's Chris doing the same to Julius, and I especially liked when he asked, "What if Stevie quit Wonderin'?" Also in this episode, Rochelle becomes a hair model for the upcoming hair show, but when her "tsunami" hairdo is ruined, her career is over faster than Pacman Jones' career as a citizen.moreless
