@timmyblackboy62 3 года назад

7 years later, we are still waiting for Gta 6!

@DArealCHAZZ 3 года назад

Now that would be cool if it ever comes out. I mean 7 years later and GTA 6 is still not out. It's because they're still making tons of money on GTA V online. Best comment I've read and it was the first LOL have a good day

@thanetitan4246 7 лет назад

Meeting a guy like that... Would make my day ! He's a Geyser of positive energy !

@blairakana1764 7 лет назад

He's a better standup comedian , then a shoe shiner.

Much respect to those who give an honest day’s work. Salute Don!

@sdientertainment 10 лет назад

I would be honored to have this man shine my shoes. I will be in New York this summer. I will be sure to pay him a visit.

@tnvalleyyoga7122 9 лет назад

Man you are absolutely right. I also own my own business after giving up that so called American dream. It is the independent entrepreneur that make this country tick and people like this are my only heros.

@MrFoolD 7 лет назад

He's right its about freedom, thats happiness

@shinraninja 10 лет назад

done is amazing - he is on my bucket list when i win the lottery !

@monsi012 4 года назад

This man has too much life in him to be stuck hidden away in some cubicle. Thank God he is out with the people bringing life and warmth to his fellow humans. God bless you Sir!! I’ll be coming into contact with him is the best part of some of these people’s day.

@carymckinney4264 6 лет назад

Nothing but respect here my friend, keep up the awesome job 🙂🙂🙂

@MrTrumpetfighter 9 лет назад

He dresses down to make you think he's a poor sap, but at 45 pairs a day at five dollars a pair, this dude is bringing the doe home. 45pairs x 5dollars=225dollars x 365days=$82,125.00 This guy made it. No boss, no employees, gets to dress like a homeless person and pockets nearly all the profit. He's been doing this for over two decades and had 25% more customers prior to the economic down turn. This guy is a closet millionaire who enjoys fucking with the minds of all the sheep who think their fooling everyone with their Armani and base level Rolex. This man is a genius and is living the good life. Shoe shine man= real ass nigga

@raymondjohnson5459 9 лет назад

You are assuming he works EVERY day of the year. Even if he did, making 80k a year and living in NYC is faaarrr from a closet millionaire. He has kids too.. I completely believe him when he says he has nothing in the bank and lives modestly. I doubt he 'dresses down' for his day at work.

@Garium87 9 лет назад

***** Right, but I dont think he pays a lot of taxes. Who could control that?

@Garium87 9 лет назад

konatown5 "100k. That's poverty in NYC" Is that a joke?

@Garium87 9 лет назад

konatown5 And how can this work economically? What are the people in New York producing that it is possible to gain wages which allow them to live?

@CaramelMamiChula 8 лет назад

Who gave you permission to say that word "nigga"?

@mattmin45 5 лет назад

Actually, this is great movie material. You can make a film based on this character. 🎬

@GVGames1986 3 года назад

Ignore the stigma, earning an honest living and as this guy is very sociable he can talk to customers to pass time.

@epicmoviescenes3654 4 года назад

Down, boy. That's a to be continued 😭. Guy in the chair didnt understand it lol

@drlongus8107 4 года назад

Maybe you didn't hear you've been gone a long time. I don't shine shoes anymore.

@duanem3658 4 года назад

Whatever happened to the old “snap and pop” shiners from my youth?

@TakeOffCaptainJohn 12 лет назад

Everybody has story...fun to watch:)

@VaipuluDSM 4 года назад

“Ferragamo “lmfao, no joke I’m wearing Salvatore Ferragamo shoes right now and I literally looked away from the video to look at my shoes. Yeah I need a shine

@Ihatecabinetmoths 4 года назад

I think this is the fifth video I’ve watched of him today

@stimpen12 10 лет назад

Wow you think he wouldn´t earn so much as a shoe shine man but 60 customers per day and at least $5 per customer thats $300, it´s almost the double of what I earn per day as a car mechanic before income tax. If he is down at 30 in rough times then it is about as much as I earn before income tax. I should change business :)

@carpettunnel8837 4 года назад

Where do you live? He’s probably paying more more for being on that street corner per month than some people pay for rent in a year.

@PhotoLabMP 10 лет назад

So, the next time I'm in NY, I'll here this guy bustin' on my dress shoes and I'l know that I've found an experienced Shoe Shiner.

@DArealCHAZZ 3 года назад

That's funny he's like I eat my kids get what they want and I ain't got to bop you on the head Friday LMAO

@BruderTheodor 4 года назад

I can imagine how his job got a bit more difficult with those cursed smartphones. You can't catch peoples' attention if they are busy being zombies. Red light and traffic can't even catch their attention.

@happyplanet6711 3 года назад

Ok but saying “cursed smartphones” makes u sound like a karen or a boomer

@thomas_of_lightback622 4 года назад

Someday I'm from Canada someday I will come to New York the first thing I want to see doing the shoes I know it's a dumb reason I just want to see what's going on that's a reason I loved it and I want to see it in real life you're awesome keep it up and I'll try to bring some more than $5 I gave it to 50 everything you done for people just believe in me someday I will make it to New York and I hope you have a good one every day everywhere

@mohammedazaruddingadagkar 4 года назад

@alanmorris7669 2 года назад

This is harassment. I wouldn't even walk past him ... I'd walk on the other side of the street.

@heavenstomurgatroyd7033 4 года назад

@mikesperko3921 4 года назад

Dude is funny

@davidtrammell7048 3 года назад

Is he still around

@davidmays7102 5 лет назад

I get what he's saying about the freedom of the job but he's got no pension, no 401 by doin this. lol I mean is he gonna be doin this when he's 70 yrs old? lol it's a job for young people that need a job to get started. he just did it, liked it and stuck with it.

@The-GreenHornet 4 года назад

You don't know. First off, he loves what he does. Second, he's in N.Y. you don't think that he doesn't run into people who could give him advice on how to invest his money. To set himself up for when he is older. Or maybe someone takes a liking to his personality and offers him a acting role or commercials. Once again, he's in N.Y. in Manhattan of all places.

@swesleyc7 4 года назад

Bingo. You're thinking opportunity costs and delayed rewards. You will be successful because of that. I applaud the guy for his entrepreneurship, but you've gotta think about benefits. Also, his job has a growth ceiling and he's met it. Experience working for a company will allow you upward mobility.

@nisinmalli9103 5 лет назад

"I ain't got a dollar in the bank" - that's a smart man

@mariateresaeppolito3020 4 года назад

What happens when he is to old to shine shoes. and the rest of us are getting are well deserved S.S..

@carpettunnel8837 4 года назад

Genius salesman, but who pays to shine their shoes? I guess in NYC $5-$20 is like $1-4 because of the cost of living? Am I the only one too cheap to pay someone for that? Just buy matte shoes that don’t need to be shined.

@clintrathman6245 8 лет назад

+hadd13 True. Depending on where he lives. If he lives in the city. He broke

@spartaeus 3 года назад

When I was a kid back in the 1950s and 60s there were shoe shine stands everywhere in the business areas of New York City. It was a full time job for a lot of people. Sneakers killed the industry.

@PrinceRightyI 8 лет назад

1000$ over there is like a clerk's pay (maybe less than that) for a month here... I will rather work in this man's place than being in that stupid cubicle for the rest of my life...

@7AndyC 4 года назад

so this guy back in 2012 was running that business for over 20 years .... then there are another 3 videos about the same guy ... one of 2017 and another one from 2018 , and in the one from 2018 they say is been doing in from almost 17 years ... so either this guy go back in tome .... or the reporter failed badly ....

@BFisher244 9 лет назад

too aggressive. i'd keep walking.

@joshnd1978 5 лет назад

are you from nyc? that's not aggressive at all

@res1492 10 лет назад

he should at least invest in a professional sign

@blairakana1764 7 лет назад

I've seen a lot better shoe shiners then this guy and doesn't put much products in the shoes. He good with his mouth and not shining.

@swesleyc7 4 года назад

I wonder that too... He's volume business. He'll turn and burn customers. That's why he's on the curb to catch customers as fast as he can. I don't think he'll be a good shiner because he rushes.
