About Miss Johnson[]

After Willona accepts a house dectective position in the security department at the department store where she works as a boutique section clerk (the store is presumably a Marshall Field's store) which she applied for, part of her job requires her to constantly spy on her to make sure Willona is doing her job watching, through a hidden two-way mirror which connects to video cameras installed in the dressing room stalls of the store, for possible shoplifters, which means, she also has to contend with Miss Johnson, her supervisor, who, as part of her job, has to constantly snoop on Willona the same way, through a similar camera installed in the security camera video room, assuring that she is doing her job!

Willona and Miss Johnson

Miss Johnson confronts Willona when she allows a woman who was trying to steal some blouses in "Willona, the Fuzz" in Season 5.

The constant snooping around and spying on potential customers really bothers Willona, who lets Miss Johnson, who wondered why she let a woman go who was actually trying to shoplift some, know about it, describing some of the other people which she watched, a college student who had on worn underwear, a nun who was trying on a slip and a skinny lady with "falsies", which she says "If her hair dresser doesn't know for sure, why should I?", as Willona says "When I go home to undress, I pull down the shades...and I don't want nobody watching me there...and I don't want nobody watching me here!" When Miss Johnson says that she doesn't understand Willona and says "I thought you got this job because you wanted a little extra money for your little girl? You realize what you've done means you're fired", as she attempts to fire her, but Willona beats her to the punch and replies, "I realize my daughter's lessons will have to wait. Because I couldn't look at myself in a one-way mirror! And what I did honey, you can't fire me, 'cause I quit!"

Turns out that the department store has a problem with trust issues, as Miss Johnson was also being "watched" by Mr. Rogers (Gordon Jump), the head of the security in the store!
