Now, don't judge him too harshly, but… Sam works at JojaMart. I know, I know, they're the evil corporation that threatens the small-town lifestyle of Pelican Town. But you know what, Sam needs money, and there aren't exactly many options for him. You can change this, though. If you fully restore the Community Center, Sam will quit his job at JojaMart and work with Gunther at the Museum.
