Popeye only a mick from bean-town could tell stories in such an entertaining and completely believable way...
Mike, that's cause they're all true.
After I quit the restaurant my friend got me a job at the other gunsel's store which was very close to my house.
He said, "don't work during the week."
"Sundays, that's the day you want!"
"That's the best day!"
Sure enough, it was!
And just like clockwork Dominick would come rolling in in his big white Cadillac wearing his signature black leather jacket flipping off the cops if they drove by and come in and ask, "what you you got in the 'till?"
To which I'd say, "not much, Mario was in about two hours ago!"
I'd hand him $30 or $40.
To which I'd add, "I think he said he was going to a different race track today."
To which Dominick would reply; "that son of a bitch!"
Once in a while either Dominick or Mario would tell me to "open the back room for so and so when he gets here."
So I knew a "load" was comming in, something "hot" which they'd ditch in the back storeroom which was much bigger than the one in the other store.
One time it was a load of shovels, you know, hand shovels. About 2,000 of them.
Mario goes in and says, "What the fuck am I supposed to do with shovels!"
"Maybe I can hand them out to all the Wops as they getta offa da boat!"
"Here's your shovel Cosmo, don't forget to pay your Union dues!"
They were there for a while.
But, sometimes they got in "good stuff" like t.v.s or stereos! Those were the best! And they went fast!
And lots of women's clothes for some reason, they must have had a source.
And Dominick and Mario wouldn't be asking, "what's in the till" for a week or so! During those times I made a lot of money.
But, I had a good gambit, I'd put aside $200 and when Mario would come in I'd give him $100 and tell him, "here's $100 that I hid for you so that Dominick wouldn't clip it on you."
He'd say, "Man, you're a good fuckin' kid!" "I fuckin' like you!"
And the same thing when Dominick came in! lol
I was clipping both of them and they loved me! lol
And their nephew Peter who we were in school with also worked at one of the stores but I doubt he knew me and my friend were clipping his uncles.
He was probably clipping them too!
It was funny picking up my check on thursdays for $14 when I had $100 at home that I'd clipped them for!
They had outragious prices so there was plenty of money to go around.
They'd stay open till midnight and this was before 7-11's.
Everyone was stealing from everyone!
When these guys would get a "load" in they'd be walking around with a couple thou in their pockets or ducked somewhere at home, they couldn't really put it in the bank!
