I have a question myself that I never quite understood. So I bought peoples gold at between 15-30% of its value.. how the fuck does one get actual value for their gold? I know this is my AMA, but dammit, I have questions too!

Well some do. A lot of people brought in gold from prior relationships and whatnot. A lot was stolen from grandma. I once had a couple come in and sell me their wedding rings off of their fingers. Awkward.

I worked 11 hour shifts and would get anywhere between 0 and 5 customers a day. A good day for me was getting 0 customers and getting to jerk off 2-3 times undisturbed. Most of my shifts were at a store in the mall, however, so I had to settle for shooting heroin in the bathroom.

I would tell them they are going to get ripped off and to try to find the money ANYWHERE else unless they were just completely desperate.

Absolutely. I tried not to personally, but we were trained to do so, and our "adjustments" were monitored. If someone looked like a normal individual I would typically give them as much as I could without getting canned, but if someone came in with face tatoos, which was a large portion, we were supposed to undercut them as much as possible. The reasoning was that a lot of the gold we recieved was stolen, and we got pretty much 0% of that money back. It is true that typically the sketchier looking folks sold us the stuff that came back stolen.
