What did Mr Krabs do after he took over Pretty Patties?

I was rewatching a clip from “Patty Hype” recently and noticed something weird (apologies if someone has brought it up before).

Before Mr. Krabs takes over Pretty Patties, SpongeBob was on customer no. 46,853.

Later, when the Bikini Bottomites come to refund their money, one of the citizens say “We want our money back, all 46,853 of us”.

That begs the question, what was Mr. Krabs doing for the remainder of the night? Did he actually serve anyone?
