I'm in the wrong line of work....

I go to drop my truck off this morning to get a lift kit put on it. A guy I know works out of the back of his house in a big shop he built. Now he does really good work and has a good name around the Baton Rouge area. I pull up to his shop and there's a Mazerratti sitting in the driveway. I'm like DANG!!! Well then I walk inside and there is a freakin Orange Lamborghini in his shop. This thing was sick. Come to find out, this dude that was there drove his Mazerratti to drop off a part for his Lambo. Well after he left I asked what this dude does for a living. Now here comes the kick in the stomach......

He owns 2 little pawn shops( and I mean little not any of the big named ones around). I couldnt believe it.

I know who this is, He owns bayou pawn in Hammond and Walker. My friend works for him, I don't think he is in serious debt considering the guy gives out loans. his pawn shop has good prices on guns, I walked in there today to look around.

oh, I don't think your in the wrong line of work, You help people for a living, Pawn shops take advantage of people in there misery and then resale there crap for 3x more! its a make money on dumb people business, kinda like payday loan company's and small finance companies that charge 50% interest to people because they need money quick instead of them being responsible and saving money.

Or you could look at it as when people really need help they are the only ones that will?! No I dont own a pawn shop and have never pawned anything but I think that if your dumb enough to bring somethin in there then so be it.Obviously they dont make their money on smart people.
