no one repoed furniture like he
did
he went to the head of a line that
didnt exist because the other employees were keen on the idea
he propositioned his boss who
also owned the company and therefore had skin in the game
skin is not brains
he told him they
he wanted him to
recognise they had similar ambitions for the company they would either repossess the furniture
recover lost revenue through small claims court or at the very least toss red
flags on credit standings of those who crossed them that would come back and
bite them in the ass down the road
he said Revenge is a dish best served cold
boss swung and missed that
too
as he succeeded his coworkers became
peeved
why was he getting more vacation time than they
when he arrived late to the game
more
not brains
unbeknownst to them he negotiated
that rather than take money for his timeFREE his boss must have
thought let
him think that hed otherwise accrue time and a half for repossessions as long as he repossessed the furnitureFREE his boss must have thought again
he used the time and a half for
vacations pulled it out against sick
time or
not and when he stayed home with his sick kids while his wife was gone on business trips
prior to pulling the trigger
on repos he insisted an innocuous line be included in the furniture rental
application and agreement it required the description
of their vehicle/s and license plate number/s
most people
who rented furniture lived in apartments
also prior and ongoing he negotiated access to apartments through small apartment managers and larger
property management companies he explained
enabling repossessions were mutually advantageous
Frankly if they withhold payments from me eventually theyll become problematic to your concerns he knew the hoops theyd have to jump through to evict a tenant You might think of it as soft
power Leverage
often he got keys
when he didnt he either arrived very early in
the morning and park the moving truck directly behind the described vehicles –
they were going to be very late to work – or if they parked elsewheresecreted their
vehicle he relied on his keen memory for
faces the iffy ones particularly the ones he waxed intently Understand me Im also responsible for collections if they hit a rough patch he was willing to work
things out
after they left their
apartment he might suppose he aah broke and entered B & E which looks cooler with tools his father gave to him as he was
taking an At Home Through the Mail locksmith course for when he retired
he was none to please with him that he used
them for
. . their practical application
he said that . . practical application
I am being practical Dad I told them if they couldnt talk with me after
I strenuously had insisted they did they
werent keeping their furniture
unsaid he was also powerfully incentivised
when his wife was out of town he
took his baby girl on repossessions she
usually slept through the whole adventure in a purple and pink polkadotted travel
bassinet that he secreted in the passenger foot well
she became an utterly remarkable rabbits
foot
when she was with him he successfully
repoed onehunred percent
thinking back on it now
not
so smartnot a good idea
he was a repoman second to none damn near legendary in his mind
when his boss called a halt to
his repos he told him the company wouldnt get another the clowns in the warehouse didnt have his chutzpah
they didnt succeed again
