db.stores.find({ "sales.totalSales": { "$gte": 35000 } },{"name": 1, "sales.totalSales": 1}, {"limit": 1})

This returns the following results:

{
    "_id": "2cf3f885-9962-4b67-a172-aa9039e9ae2f",
    "name": "First Up Consultants | Bed and Bath Center - South Amir",
    "sales": { "totalSales": 37701 }
}

db.stores.find({ "staff.totalStaff.fullTime": { "$gte": 12 } },{"name": 1, "staff.totalStaff.fullTime": 1}, {"limit": 1})

This returns the following results:

{
    "_id": "2cf3f885-9962-4b67-a172-aa9039e9ae2f",
    "name": "First Up Consultants | Bed and Bath Center - South Amir",
