Auto Arnie's Sneak and Snoop Shop

**Auto Arnie's Sneak and Snoop Shop** is a small business located somewhere on the ground floor of Clover Mall. It houses the selling of spying equipment to all of its discerning customers, notably Rachel. It has only ever appeared in the episode "Disney Princess Rachel"; its only seen clerk (and - what can only be assumed - its sole proprietor) is Auto Arnie.

## Usage

Auto Arnie's Sneak and Snoop Shop houses the selling of all brands of several types of spying equipment to all of its discerning customers, notably Rachel B. Jeans (who also appears to be his friend and good customer). It houses a large collection catalogue of spyware.

It is spaced on the ground floor on the Clover Mall; it is quite possibly a small business limited to only one store (based off the fact that its catalogue is very limited in variety and arcane in subject. In its only appearance, it has only one person in the store, Rachel.

## Catalogue

Auto Arnie's Sneak and Snoop Shop is a business that sells high-end, top-of-the-line, military-grade cameras, binoculars, recording equipment, and other miscellaneous spying equipment (notably "Eastern-Block" imports). It also has several brands of all of its types of equipment; .

Auto Arnie himself notes that his catalogue of products includes "stealthy... "[pieces of] high-tech spy-tech" suitable for his - what appears to be both a friend and a client - Rachel B. Jeans. He also goes as fair to describe 'field operations' as "sweeping" to which the spyees are "bugging" the spyer.

## Appearance

Auto Arnie's Sneak and Snoop Shop is a modern store that is located in Clover Mall, as such it appears to be well stocked and well maintained. It is blocked-up with the rest of the blocks of the Mall; other stores form adjacent and to the sides and center lobby where it's located. The interior itself looks like it's catalogued and set-out well for customers to peruse its fine wares.

## History

It has only ever appeared in the episode "Disney Princess Rachel"; its only seen clerk (and - what would could only be assumed - the sole proprietor) is Auto Arnie.

### Auto Arnie

Main article: Auto Arnie

Auto Arnie is a one-shot, minor character in *C.J. and Friends*, having only appeared in the episode "Disney Princess Rachel" briefly. He appears to be the sole proprietor of the store that bears his name and one where he can be seen as a clerk; he is also seen selling Rachel, who appears to be a friend of Arnie's and a loyal customer to his store, spyglasses. These spyglasses are later used to take a picture, of which it's stated he took copies sixty-fifth copies in addition to this sole copy, to blackmail Queen Barb off of the throne.

### Disney Princess Rachel

Main article: Disney Princess Rachel

Disney Princess Rachel is the episode where he makes his sole appearance; he also has a minor role to play. In this episode, Rachel goes to the mall after being rebuffed by Queen Barb to shop for spyware. He goes to Auto Arnie's Shop in order to purchase some new spying equipment. Shhe uses this picture to blackmail Queen Barb out of her throne and to become Disney Princess Rachel; however, this is soon put to an end.

## Clientele

### Rachel B. Jeans

Main article: Rachel Jeans

Rachel B. Jeans, often just Rachel, is the resident snitch of 98th Street School and, as such, it is expected that this store is right up his alley - and it is, as the store and its clerk are created for her (and the episode is of course based on him). She spends her recesses at the school snitching on other students (an act outlawed by Kids' Code of Honor) and subsequently reporting said findings to Mr Boyd, to whom she has a strong rapport (which some fans see as a friendship - possibly Rachel's only friendship).

Despite her access to these state-of-the-gadgets - ones that, in the field of spying, generally couldn't be surpassed and, were not only some of the best in the world at this point, but some of the best that a nine year-old elementary school student could have access to - she never used gadgets like this again (and neither did she before this episode aired). However, in the 2001 feature-length movie *C.J. and Friends: School's Out*, it is shown that Rachel has at least partial access to gadgets of this caliber again, but it is would be fair to say that Mr Boyd was probably the one who acquired these items.

### Other Clients

Although it is implied that the clientele of this particular store is fairly small, it has to have a fair number of clients who need a source of high-end, current weapons to outfit themselves for their spying needs. We can safely assume that Raymond Jeans, Rachel's father, and Victoria Jeans, Rachel's mother, are both patrons (maybe even card-carrying loyalty members) of the store; it could be claimed they even introduced her to the store.

## Trivia

* Auto Arnie's Sneak and Snoop Shop's only shown client is Rachel.
* It appears to be staffed by just one person, Auto Arnie.
* This store only ever appears in the episode "Disney Princess Rachel"; however, it is implied that it appears in several others - notably "Rus' Fortune", in which Rus finds a fortune teller that predicts his eventual demise. This happens due to his ignorance for Jobey's advice; Jobey Belton recounted the fate (a paradox in itself) of Squeaky Patterson inside Clover Mall in Manhattan.
