you never really know when it's going to turn weird on you
 

saw an ad for shoe shines on CL, I have 5-6 pair of expensive shoes I need shined... ($350-$600 a pair is expensive to me) so I hit the guy up to see if he will come to my location.....

---- would you go a location to shine 5-6 pair of shoes?
***Thank you for your email Sir. I'm close by Hollywood and La Brea. When would you like to come by Sir?

no big deal, I miss read stuff all the time....

----no way I can get down there...why I asked what it would take to get
you to come over

****Oh I'm sorry I misread that. Where are you, Sir?

so I tell the guy....


****That is kind of far. Where would I be setting up? I could come by and do them for $10 each if you have at least 4 pairs.

---- $60 including gas etc...be at my place
****Cool just you? I usually provide the king experience, shine your shoes while you wear them and lick them for a while first so you can enjoy getting your shoes shined like a boss.

wtf right? gotta be a typo.... so just in to be clear

----Sorry no licking
****I see, sorry it's part of how I do it, most guys really like it. Guess this won't work.

wonder if this is 'get rid of the annoying customer' or something that actually goes down

potential content material?

Sounds pretty normal to me.

D'oh! Spit shine. lol

On the trading floor I worked on, we had a guy who used to come around and offer to shine shoes for $5. I never knew how he obtained the permission to do that, there was a ton of security. He didn't have a box or anything, just very basic shine.
