Same with any job. To us it's impressive and to him it's just another day at the office. It's a really awesome feeling actually. For example I'm a restaurant manager. An 11M in sales a year in my building alone. In one given night I might have to bail several stations cooking on the line, bail out the bakery, greet a few guests, run guests to tables, wash dishes, ring orders, make drinks, change kegs, then do 2+ hours of office work, calculating labor dollars per hour, counts, take out trash, etc. Many of my manager trainees have needed some convincing to continue with their training. The longer I do it the easier it is. Sometimes the GM will take my ideas and implement them, even if they aren't in line with the corporate way. It's a great feeling, not one you get in the moment but one when you go home and recount your day
Wow that poor lady just got scammed over and over. First someone put newspaper in her box, then they gave her empty gift cards, and then they even sold her fake watches! Can't believe it would happen to such an honest lady! lol
They're panicking and thinking that they can talk their way into still getting money often times scammers have already either promised someone the cash or had something fronted to them so they NEED that money and will do anything to get it
The first lady saying she'll take the box of newspapers back so she can "recycle" them, tells me she's just gonna try the same scam at another pawn shop.
He's patient and all because he knows he's recording these people and he's basically doing a show to keep these people on tape and show their psychology. He's stringing them along beautifully.
It's impressive that you'd get caught twice in a row trying to scam someone but have the balls to come right back in with a fake watch. Third time's a charm!!
I don't even think it is just her in that one. Other people steal it and she tries to fence it. She is chosen for that reason. Usually women like this have prescription pill issues
How is treating these people with respect and acting like your blind to there scams a good thing? If you don’t call them out there going to have even more confidence and keep trying

lol most of these pawn shops are scammers themselves. They prey on desperate people who need to sell their stuff quickly going thru hard times and old ppl who dont know the value of their stuff.
@@thelonercoder5816 That's BS! If somebody doesn't know the value of their stuff, go seek an appraiser. Licensed appraisers must give accurate prices because that's what they do. Pawn shops are often metal and jewelry appraisers, so they must, by law, give accurate prices for silver, gold and jewelry, etc... but other stuff is fair game! The real funny thing is everyone thinks all their junk is F'n priceless.

Well, if it's a power tool, the density of the newspaper is going to feel all wrong. Plus, Porter Cable aren't what they used to be. Still a decent tool, but not a lot of value.
The newspapers were from 2008. She really never opened it and believed there was something in it. The average white woman in America has the intelligence of a 12 year old and that includes women with college degrees. 90% of women with a degree has never passed pre algebra. It shouldn't be possible to have a degree if u can't pass pre algebra. I literally took pre algebra in 7th grade and universities give white women degrees who are dumber than ur average 7th grade boy.
People try that all the time at Lowe's. Then, they run into LISA - Look InSide All. They act all surprised like "How did bricks get in there?!"

Yeah but later he puts them all on blast as scammers. I feel like some of the people in the video simply were duped themselves. that guy with the bags for example seemed to think he had legit stuff. We can't know for sure so to just out them all as scammers seems a bit unfair.

The patience you have & not calling out the scammers for blatantly trying to scam you is really quite impressive. Watching the scammers squirm & try to weasel their way is highly entertaining.
@@CruJones81 the word scammer is being used so wrong here. He is a business man. In order to have his business thrive he has to talk peoples goods down to get a good price. He seems like a good man, but there is no way he isn't or has never had to do shady business in order to keep the business alive. The jackets could very well have been real. He wasn't sure about the stitching. And was very honest about not being sure. He didn't want to take a risk in case they were fake. Not that he could'n resell them as "real" jackets and still make the money on them. So that shows his honesty. Which I personally respect. But looking up goods like that online is hard. I have a B.C. Rich electrical guitar. They don't produce that specific guitar anymore and they don't showcase it on their website. To find that specific guitar you have to go into old magazines. You won't find anything online that isn't a forum (which then is not something i personally would trust). But for older stuff you would for the most part need the media that were used back then. Internet dosn't help you on that end.
That first lady. I can't. 😂 Her reactions to all her stuff being fake is pure acceptance. By the time she gets told her watches are fake, she's given up the acting and just says 'oh, that's okay'. 😂
New to your channel as of yesterday and it's weirdly relaxing. I think in part it is your (so far?) limitless patience and politeness even when you suspect people of trying to scam you. But also your store just has such a great charm to it. I'd love to just wander around and look at everything. Anyway, liteally about to click the sub button :)
That lady is the unluckiest lady ever. She bought a storage unit that was full of repacked boxes. Then she bought gift cards that were already spent Then she bought a bunch of expensive watches direct from a fake factory. How unlucky can one person be! :)
It's like a sickness too. When I use to work Loss Prevention we would catch elderly people who had been stealing for decades and most people don't look twice at granny shopping as she loads up her bags.
@@Scrapla1 are they stealing because they need things and are too broken down to work? Like toiletries and food or something? Or is it crap that can be sold or not needs?
Hey guys, I’m new to your channel and just wanted to say that your videos are very interesting of course but I want to commend you on being so polite and respectful towards customers that may be trying to rip you off. Your level of professionalism is very admirable.
What I appreciate in Peter's videos is the respect he shows to these customers, not accusing anyone of trying to pass off fakes. Even the obvious scammers, he remains non-confrontational, does not challenge their integrity, just matter of fact negotiation. Take it or leave it and educating them in case it's all innocent. Unfortunately, scammers sound very genuine, but Peter knows what to look for and just says no.
So imagine your low on cash, your mom gives you an item to sell that she bought offline to help you fix your car. You take it into this guy, he acts nice but tells you the item is fake, you're in shock, can't get your car fixed and you're out the money for the item. Icing on the cake, the nice gentlemen just put you on youtube and labeled you as a scammer because your story didn't add up without any proof on his end. He can act as nice as he wants but it's a big pos move to do this.
@@musicmaniac8787 no doubt he’s wrong both ways a lot too and had resold fake stuff as authentic.. like the slot machine that he told the buyer was original from like 1940 and sold to him for $2k and turned out it was a replica from the 1990s .. only because it broke soon after the guy brought it back and when it went for repair is when this guy “learned” it was only replica so gave the buyer his money back. If the slot didn’t break this guy would have cleaned up on it.

That first lady is a professional con artist! You should have called the police on her, or at the very least keep that box of newspapers so she wouldn't get anyone else with it! The way she kept a straight face is amazing!
She would just get another box and fill it with more paper... Hard to prove to the police that she was actually conning if she uses that 'little old lady who didn't realize' game.
That first lady defiantly knew what she was doing. I'd be willing to bet as soon as she left, she went straight to the next Pawn/Trade store with the exact same act.
@@mph5896 for real he has more patience than me. I think he handles it well though by just letting them do their scam and not creating conflict. The people doing this are obviously desperate so the situation could escalate quickly and it’s not worth the hassle.

I watched a bit of Pawn Stars for the first time yesterday (it popped up in my feed after watching this channel) and I couldn't believe how staged it looked, obvious actor brought in to help fabricate a drama. Reality shows are crap, this channel is the real deal.
I love how the first lady keeps digging down in the box of newspapers as if she's going to find the entire tool set just hiding. What a damn moron. That was simply a way for her to think of an excuse.
Oddly enough,I did buy a desk chair from Walmart and when I got it home and cut it open, the box was filled with trash, like someone just dumped a trash bag in it and sealed it up. I was laughing, upset, and grossed out all at the same time. Walmart did exchange it but never apologized though. Thankfully I hadn't gotten it to give as a gift or something.
I am a recently retired pawnbroker from a national chain, and I find your patience and sensitivity refreshing, even when you know they are scammers. We always tried to treat customers the same way, even when we were positive they knew they were scammers because it just wasn't worth it to get into it with them. I enjoyed this clip.
If I were sole owner of the business, I would have the latitude to do so, but the company policy of the chain was to politely refuse. I have thrown people out for dis-respecting other customers blatantly and rudely, but all we were supposed to do when an item was fake, or we knew it was a scam was to politely refuse to complete a transaction, advising them to bring us something else and we'd take a look at it. We did call the other stores locally and advise them of the scam and give them a description of the individual.@@richardjames3356
@@richardjames3356 any pawn shop who repeatedly accuses customers whether they are in the wrong or not, will get a bad reputation for being confrontational and eventually lose their business.

Seriously that was my first thought she couldn’t sit still , her words sounded like she was gritting her teeth , I don’t have much experience with uppers like meth or coke bud I’ve done my fair share of MDMA , and she had all the signs.

Incredibly pathetic.
She is clearly just 1 part of the scam. Most likely she is given the item to take since she is a old lady. And doesn't look as suspicious.

@@CruJones81 the word scammer is being used so wrong here. He is a business man. In order to have his business thrive he has to talk peoples goods down to get a good price. He seems like a good man, but there is no way he isn't or has never had to do shady business in order to keep the business alive. The jackets could very well have been real. He wasn't sure about the stitching. And was very honest about not being sure. He didn't want to take a risk in case they were fake. Not that he could'n resell them as "real" jackets and still make the money on them. So that shows his honesty. Which I personally respect. But looking up goods like that online is hard. I have a B.C. Rich electrical guitar. They don't produce that specific guitar anymore and they don't showcase it on their website. To find that specific guitar you have to go into old magazines. You won't find anything online that isn't a forum (which then is not something i personally would trust). But for older stuff you would for the most part need the media that were used back then. Internet dosn't help you on that end.
That first lady. I can't. 😂 Her reactions to all her stuff being fake is pure acceptance. By the time she gets told her watches are fake, she's given up the acting and just says 'oh, that's okay'. 😂

What I appreciate in Peter's videos is the respect he shows to these customers, not accusing anyone of trying to pass off fakes. Even the obvious scammers, he remains non-confrontational, does not challenge their integrity, just matter of fact negotiation. Take it or leave it and educating them in case it's all innocent. Unfortunately, scammers sound very genuine, but Peter knows what to look for and just says no.
So imagine your low on cash, your mom gives you an item to sell that she bought offline to help you fix your car. You take it into this guy, he acts nice but tells you the item is fake, you're in shock, can't get your car fixed and you're out the money for the item. Icing on the cake, the nice gentlemen just put you on youtube and labeled you as a scammer because your story didn't add up without any proof on his end. He can act as nice as he wants but it's a big pos move to do this.
@@musicmaniac8787 no doubt he’s wrong both ways a lot too and had resold fake stuff as authentic.. like the slot machine that he told the buyer was original from like 1940 and sold to him for $2k and turned out it was a replica from the 1990s .. only because it broke soon after the guy brought it back and when it went for repair is when this guy “learned” it was only replica so gave the buyer his money back.

If I were sole owner of the business, I would have the latitude to do so, but the company policy of the chain was to politely refuse. I have thrown people out for dis-respecting other customers blatantly and rudely, but all we were supposed to do when an item was fake, or we knew it was a scam was to politely refuse to complete a transaction, advising them to bring us something else and we'd take a look at it.

I didn’t feel normal on it anymore, I was darker, withdrawn and crashing on my regular dose even taking breaks. Anyways when I think about things that give me dopamine rush, without my high dose I overfocus for too long on the wrong thing. It’s a mild psychosis where you attribute too much reward to a treat. And it manifests as tweaking, peculiarities. her case it’s scamming and lying is a reward which is fucked but I can see it getting there if you tell yourself it’s acceptable
I commend you for your patience. I used to work at a pawn shop and was a straight a hole to customers. Especially when they try to get over like this. It got to the point where i said "if you can't beat em', join em." So i got over on anyone i could. I'm glad I got away from that industry, it didn't serve me well.
If those cards are worth $100, why doesn't she use them herself?😂
Right
She already used it!!! 😂😂
Not cash....
Rightttt
Card not even activated.
Just grabbed off the shelf.
My customer service would’ve been out the window. Your patience is insane man
Just because you aren't able to handle this doesn't make his patience insane. It is completely average and how you should act running a business at a minimum.
@@CrAzYpotpiehonestly if people constantly come in with the intention to scam my business, then I’d be mad.
@@chrisr9764 Okay, and? I don't see why you are telling me that.
@@CrAzYpotpie because it’s a normal reaction and so he is definitively more patient than the rest of us.
@@chrisr9764 It isn't insane when it comes to customer service and running this type of business, it is bog standard if you want to survive. Just because you or other people that don't have this job claim his patience is insane just shows how impatient and horrible you would be at running a business.
That first woman tried everything. She was talking so much that she was trying to confuse him. He’s too good for that. He outmatched all of her tricks. Love it!
I’m so sorry that people are out there who are trying to scam you so hard! This is so cringey to watch. He’s so nice to still apologize to her after all of that malarkey. 🙈🤨
Yeah she tried so many methods of scamming. Scammers really get on my nerves, wish there was a way to punish them.
That damn old heifer needs to be put away. She will continue to do this shit.
I have never seen someone treated so poorly
She failed her fast talking roll several times
She attempted to flip the game. Probably got scammed out of her social security and thought "I could do it better."
I broke up with my boyfriend who’s in the truck.
I would’ve wanted to see the guy w/ the jackets put one on. They looked huge, not too short.
Love your knowledge and patience.
These videos are not about scammers, they are a lessons in patience. This man is truly incredible.
So true! I would have lost my shit right away lol
Lession in content... dont meet your heros...
"I'll just take it home and use it" lol. SHe even wanted to save it to try and scam someone else with it.
Very true
He probably knows its worth the time because it's good content
Your calm and polite demeanor totally fooled the first lady into thinking she could outsmart you. Shamelessly tries to scam you FIVE different ways!! Unreal..
It must be exhausting dealing with scammers all the time. They just never shut up. They just keep rambling.
I know and that first woman saying over and over about getting her watches at an outlet mall in California. 😡😆
Working with people for over 10 years. Number one sign of a liar is that they just dont shut up
That 2nd lady's name is methany. She talks a lot. And fast.
New sub from me, this is hilarious watching you just dismantle their stories 😂😂😂
I randomly clicked on this video and wow I'm glad I did. This is fascinating how people try to pull a fast one on you. You're so knowledgeable and respectful! I'd definitely buy from your store.
Same here! This just randomly popped up on my suggested videos (maybe from scammer payback) and attention to detail is amazing!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yep! Just on my feed, love the content!
They're all looking for drug money!!
Wow! This lady has some nerve bringing in multiple scams, one after another. She doesn't even think twice about how obvious it is that one MIGHT be a mistake, but three is clearly makes HER a scammer.
If your scam fails, try to succeed at scamming them into thinking you are an honest idiot.
Oh come on, she bought the watch at an outlet center. How was she supposed to know the guy behind the dumpster would sell her a fake watch, it was an outlet center
I love his accent so soothing, I find him so attractive and he seems so knowledgeable in his profession.
And or mental😣
She’s on drugs
Your patience with people is amazing and should be admired. You showed so much respect even when you're interacting with liars. I randomly found your channel and I'll keep watching more videos 😊
He does it for the camera, If there was no camera he wouldn't even get into why he didn't want the junk. He would just say no thank, next.
@@20TonChopExactly! if anything he is wasting these people's time knowing damn well he isn't buying that shit 😂😂
yeah a lot is staged for sure on social media.... its for entertainment purposes only@@20TonChop
Yeah I think it's a sign that he really loves his job. He's genuinely interested in the business and is even fascinated by the fakes. Kinda beautiful. I aspire to that.
You have the patience of a saint I wouldn’t have entertained that First Lady any further after the newspaper in the box I’d have told her to get out
This channel and gas station encounters are in that really fun to watch genre.
Your patience and composure to passively play along with the scam is master level.
Your patience with scammers and tweakers is amazing 😂
He is patient because she is content for his channel. He wants all of them to perform for his channel.
That first lady has been scamming her ENTIRE life. It takes a real heartless and dedicated individual to get busted scamming and have the gall to just keep trying to scam. People like her are a plague on society and things would function so much better if we didn’t have to concern ourselves with such low-life wastes of space. You can only hope that karma will catch up with her or, eventually she gets arrested and locked up. Like I said, society would be in a much better place without people like that around us.
Totally agree! Why not just pretend YOU were scammed when the box of newspapers is opened? Just say, "Oh my God! I can't believe I paid for this from someone online!" No. She just goes from one scam to another. Can you imagine being related to this woman? Five seconds into her talking at a family dinner and I would be looking for a window to jump out of.
Okay negative Nancy 😂
@@JesussyTwerkinwhy would you make such a comment. People work hard for their money and exposing these lowlife no good scammers warns the public. Don’t you want to be wise to the ways of the world? Really makes me wonder if you, or somebody that you know does this type of theft.
@@donnieshelton591 lmao no I agree w the above statement but it was SO dramatic for no reason
“Low life wastes of space “ “a plague on our society !!!” just made me laugh bc dude is REALLY upset about this 🤣 yeah she’s a scammer , yes she should get a real job we all know this. Not the end of the world though like OP seems like she’s out here killing small children or something
She was a professional bullshit.
i love how the cat just don't give AF and starts walking on the fake jackets. lol
Baby's spent so much time in that pawn shop she instantly knew they were ✨trash✨ 😂
@@rabbitchcraft I like the trashy tweaker that you used as your profile picture! 😂 Where did you find that chit? Lol
To be fair I guess you *would* know what that looks like growin up with your momma 🤷♀️ sorry for your childhood hun 🥺 therapy does exist tho
@@rabbitchcraft that better not be you? You realize only idiots put pictures of themselves on UA-cam? Identity theft, fraud, tracking etc...
@@rabbitchcraft plus you should never say sorry to a stranger on the internet. Who gives afk if someone grows up poor with a tweaker mom? Why even pretend to have compassion?
You’re so patient. Your demeanour and kindness to those trying to take advantage of you is so admirable.
He probably doesn't want them to get mad about him making them look like fools
I would call them out so fast and tell them to leave
Illinois here. Grew up in Des Plaines and Mount prospect. My Mom lived in Crystal Lake/Lake in the Hills for 20 years. I lived in McHenry for 5 years. I am in Kankakee now. I hate Randall Rd. Lol. Driving up North sucks now. I never got the chance to stop into your shop, I would have stopped in to show my support.
Thank you for the video neighbor. Maybe you know my brother. I believe he bought a ring for me from your shop. 😊 God bless brother. Stay safe. I keep watching to see if anyone I know shows up. 😂 It is bound to happen..
The first woman is a skilled scam artist, the way she perfected her speech to make herself appear “slow”. She has scammed people out of thousands.
Definitely! She's probably been scamming folk all her life. Everything she tried to sell was either fake or didn't exist. A box full of 11 year old newspapers and a gift card of no value? Yeah, those weren't little mistakes. lmao.
those were terrible scams. who would even fall for that? no way those newspapers weigh even close to what the real thing would weigh. and the card.. anyone with a brain would make sure the card is legit before buying. her acting "surprised" skills were terrible too.
Needs to face the wall tbh
That poor woman, she's just misunderstood, everyone is picking on her and singeing her out, and its just really sad!
no chance lmao@@milfinu
Its always so impressive the knowledge you guys have on the items, i can only imagine the years of close calls and studying of the fakes when the occasional one does slip through to develop these skills
Pawn Shop dealers have seen it all. It is really hard to get past them.
Well, once a scammer, always a scammer. The shops DO swap stories and details on known people as well, so her $10 I bought it downtown from a knock-off mall and hope to get $50 for it at a pawn shop might work occasionally, but he knows in this case that 100% of whatever she hands him is going to be fake. So the song and dance starts :)
I bet they still sell it as real if one slips through... No way pawn shop owners would take a hit on something expensive like that.
@@CornPopWazABadDude No, that's what insurance is for. Any pawn shop that is willingly selling fakes as new is just throwing its reputation down the drain, and they have a LOT of money invested in it that they don't want to lose.
Be careful with the rest of the store when scammers come in. They may just be taking up your attention so that their accomplice steals items from the shelves. Don't fall for distractions.
This was the most common method used by career thieves in retail for sure.
Now people don't care, Usually they use this method when they're intimidated by the front end worker...if it's a young lady up front they just walk out not caring.
I think he knows that, just as every store owner/manager knows that
I had two meth heads come into our retail store. One meth head cut himself with a razor outside and came in to ask for medical and he bled all over our floor. While everyone was focused on the bleeder, the other meth head went around stealing batteries off the shelf. They use the batteries to make more meth.
@@OligoSThow do they use batteries for that?
@@XanderShiller They use the lithium strips taken from CR123 and other lithium batteries an ingredient..a long with some others to produce meth. I'd imagine they're probably strict with selling them in stores..well I hope they are..
I love that the kitty cat hangs out on the counter 😻
I was raised by my grandparents. My grandfather owned a furniture store where I grew up, I've seen similar interactions in the past. You're very clear and honest with the customers. A lot of people are convinced they're sitting on gold.
That first lady has the worst luck ever! She's been scammed with bogus watches, and someone gave her gift cards that were invalid, and someone stole her power drill right out of the box and filled it with newspapers!! I hope she called the cops because someone has it out for her! Poor woman!
She played you like a fool!
@@toxikexotic Wait, what? Let me get this straight....do you actually believe that the comment I made about her bad luck was serious? PLEASE, tell me you're just kidding! PLEASE, tell me you know what sarcasm is!
Lol. Wow. And you vote and operate automobiles??
@@slayer8actual I think I offended the street shitter?
@@toxikexotic while you may think you're witty and smart, you're really just embarrassing yourself, but keep them coming. Let's see how stupid you can get.
@toxikexotic no his comment was definitely sarcastic and if you couldn't tell then idk what to tell ya😂
I love this video because 1) it shows all the different scammers trying to scam the pawn shop owner, 2) the pawnshop owner gives the scammers the false hope their scam will succeed, and 3) the pawn shop owner does not get mad...instead gets even with the scammers.
You are so nice to people, never implying that they are at fault. ❤
Dude really knows his stuff. Great vid without unnecessary commentary, long-winded intros, silly animated hard subs or other video toys. Also, the cat rules ❤
he doesnt know his stuff. LV monogram pattern doesnt always line up...
@@Glol91ABCbetter to be safe than sorry when buying items off the street. The stitching wasn't the only thing giving off red flags. He was smart enough to not risk it.
@@Shane-sf9pv oke, you just like to talk right? What does it have to do with what I say?
@@Glol91ABCit had everything to do with your comment and it made sense.
Considering that lady has apparently been scammed for thousands of dollars she is amazingly calm and accepting of the loss. 🙄
I am impressed by how balanced and courteous Craigslist Hunter is to these people, pretending to sympathize with the idea that a Movado dealership sold a fake Movado watch. It is a good move
They have to be as polite as possible because unfortunately scammers will do things like flood 1 star Google reviews if they're upset
It must be so annoying to have to deal with these idiotic charlatans every single day. But this woman was extra special. Cool video, liked
I love how you explain why something is fake. You’re so smart and it only helps people realize what to look out for 🙂
Yeah but they probably are not gonna counterfeit it themselves
@@yoeyostudiosexactly lol these people don’t think, the best counterfeiters are all in china 😂
I’m amazed that you take the time to educate the scammers on how you can tell a fake.
It’s fake dude lol
@@GraysonNicole-fg8yd you must be a genius, huh?
Unfortunately, they are also educating the scammers on how to make their scams better/more believable, etc.
They ain't gonna make the goods themselves.
@@VancouverMagic It's not like the scammers handmade the bags themselves.
I commend you for the ability of handling so much BS whilst remaining a calm demeanor
You commend him for doing what people have done for decades, hell centuries of bartering before him... Keep in mind that he unlike all of those people I just referenced can and does record it so that he can post it on social media... And maybe this is where you're a little juvenile but I find that hard to believe, He's profiting from posting this online. Is that not obvious to you? Oh by the way patience, what do you think this industry is? He is in his own right a criminal. I'm in my 40s I've never been to a pawn shop in my entire life and cannot see the reason or need that I would. It is a place for desperation and criminal activity. He opened a business to hopefully catch people who are selling shit because of hard times for because they don't realize what it's worth or the best case scenario they realize what it's worth and he and they make a few dollars, but it's still someone in a moment of desperation.
@@TheCompdept whats the difference between him and if someone buys something that someone throws on facebook marketplace and undervalues it?
People could sell it on their own, but they take it to a pawn shop. They have a choice.
@@meeknuggets4860 the difference is a pawn shop plays on people's desperation while simultaneously providing them the money they probably need for drugs creating more and more problems in this world by the second. And if you are referencing what I had written previously then you already know that this person who owns the pawn shop offers little to nothing to society whatsoever. That would be the difference. The difference is an unnecessary middleman. Look I can't stop the world from working in ways that are adverse to its intentions that that doesn't make me incorrect. This is a highly unnecessary market, almost likened to selling drugs. Good people don't come in here to do good things. It's for horrific people who contribute nothing to society.
shutup @@TheCompdept
@meeknuggets4860 you can't put things on law away with Facebook market place.
Some pawn shops actually help out the community- I've personally experienced it...them giving me a loan when they should not have.
If your not a drug addict there is really no reason you ever NEED money in today's day and age, most utility companies will work with you if you can't make a payment for a month or two.
So yeah mostly addicts use pawn shops.
He is very kind and respectful, even after tryna get scammed
