Yeah my work is private. I get very important information from people so that I can find thier credit scores and fix accounts. Sometimes you learn more about a person than you will ever want to know.
Last week around ten in the morning and elderly man approaches me. He calls me "doll" in his New York accent and aske me to check on his account. Rather loudly he discusses his opinion of the cops in town. Accourding to him, he had just finished a seven month jail sentence for selling persription drugs. Of course he "would never do any such thing."
When I took his ID I had to clange at the birthdate. Seventy nine years old. He was a lively one for sure. We had quite an ordeal with the service line. So he was at my counter for an hour and a half.
During this time I not only learned that he knew just about every creepy character in town but that for a man who just got out of jail he was loaded with alot of cash. He kept pulling out huge wads of it talking about having his water and electricity turned back on.
So many questions were running through my mind. Thats when my co-worker leaned over and said, "You know who that is right?"
"Well not really."
She grinned at me,"You have heard of John Gotti right?" I nodded. "That Al the Leg Breaker. You know one of Gotti's old right hands."
Holy crap. I just couldn't believe it she had to be telling me a fib. Just to be safe I made sure Mr. Break Your Knee Caps was happy when he left.
