One of most funny shoe shiner in New York, Don Ward it's his name and he work every morning at crossing of 47 st. and 6 av. Here the kit: amzn.to/1oyNszY Enjoy !!!
Everything about this is so endearing. His janked setup. His clear love for the craft. The fact that he is willing to have banter, this is all so sincere
The thing that makes me happy and that stands out in this video is how he is happy doing something he fucking loves, that's a noble person who takes pride in their art. Respec
@Don Forum If you make a youtube channel and make it entertaining and half as impressive as the effort is that this guy goes to to shine shoes...sure I'd probably send you some cash.
Good point. Keeping shoes clean makes them last longer. The condition of your shoes also speaks to your image and attitude about how you take care of things. He also said he doesn't have to deal with any incompetent or perverted bosses or backstabbing co- workers. Interesting. At $900 a day x 20 days (no weekeends) he's making 18k a month. Whew. An entrepreneur could franchise shoe shine stations, hire a shoe shiner and collect half the profits.
Don Ward! All the way out here in Arizona, we know this good work, this good man and the next time I am in the big city, I will get the boots shined at Don's.
There was a story about him from the New York Post. Don was working for a print or photo company. A coworker was fired and a few days later, he set up a shoe shine station near the job. Don and some coworkers went to rag on him, then they saw how much he made. Don quit his job immediately and has been shinning shoes ever since.
Its an art doing what he does and im sure he makes good money and the odd top dolla tip here and there his personality is great keep getting it brother
Beautiful job in the end. Yes, a man's shoes are the 2nd thing I look at and they had better be clean and shiny.😎 FYI, getting a shoe shine is so relaxing.😗
The Last Guy : when you're done with these shoes I better see my face in them. Don: Sir, I've seen your face, are you sure you wanna do that ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Roasted his ass!!
His a dam funny person ..... full of life and love his job The person who are coming to clean there shoes ...they must open there shoes ....and give for cleaning ..work
Now this is a guy who truly loves his job, bless him
maybe only when the camera is rolling.
