How to design NoSQL database to represent inheritance?

How would I design my NoSQL database (MongoDB) to represent this hierarchy ?

public abstract class Customer {
  Guid Id;
  String Name;
  Decimal Balance;
}

public class VipCustomer: Customer {
  String Address;
  String PhoneNumber;      
}

public class NonVipCustomer: Customer {
  String VisitingReason;
  Int QueueNumber;
}

Are you using a Object Data Mapper like Mongoose to manage your schemas? If so, you might try this extension from GitHub to handle inheritance:
