I happened across this video yesterday about this entrepreneur. Seems like a good hearted person.
Shyster menu options include:
- $10 - the only choice and drink, mustard and sauerkraut
- $11 - hot dog with the wrong toppings and drink, four toppings a la carte
- $1 dog treats
- $1,000 shirt off my back
Some choice text from the display boards:
- “The Only Honest Ripoff in DC”
- All prices include tax, and there is no tip screen. I hate that garbage.
- Want a hot dog with no drink? You aren’t saving money.
- Briefly recite the historical significance of MoonPies and/or RC Cola for a five cent discount on your whole order.
If I were local, I’d be buying some dogs.
Fulfilled with free hot dogs he means.
that’s sick. i wanna run a hotdog stand.
scheißters
This is the plan of the elites: ONLY ELITES or PEASANTS… and the peasants have to say they’ve never felt better in their lives.
Uh huh until the local food cart gang remind him of certain things.
“One hotdog, please!”
“Fill out these forms where I put the fun stickers and get a witness to sign.”
“What if I don’t want this much commitment for a hotdog?”
“Jail >:-(“
He’s working more than Congress.
Okay, Grandpa.
It’s literally true. I’m pretty sure the House hasn’t even been in session since mid-September, but they’re still paid.
Pieces of shit.
He’s doing more work than he ever did as an IRS lawyer. I hope he stays with it.
A lawyer named Stein, started a food business called Shysters? o.o
It’s okay, he’s allowed to say it.
Flood him with business. Make his stand more profitable than working for the IRS. He quits. One less IRS lawyer.
saying he’s “never felt so free and fulfilled.”
From another article, his role at the IRS is in writing tax law regulations for pension funds. I mean…it’s gotta be done, but I kinda suspect that sometimes, it’s not very exciting.
Honestly, I’m kinda impressed that he took his furlough and decided to knock something off his bucket list. I mean, if life gives you lemons, make lemonade and all that.
EDIT: Oh, they apparently also mentioned it in this article as well.
Not allowed to sell food along the beach here sadly, a hotdog stand could be fun to run occasionally. Get one of those bike trailer food stands, usually see them for ice cream but I am sure hotdogs work too.
Suppose it’s very seasonal work though, nothing most of the year and loads in summer. But I can’t do it so there is that problem.
It reminds me of the IRS guy from the Happy Gilmore sequel. “I became a lawyer because I was tired of people hating me and throwing me through glass doors” (flashback to when Happy Gilmore threw him through a door in the first film).
Y’know what? Fuck yeah good for him.
He’s never once had so many people to talk about them Mets with
