Player/Streamer Owned Poker Room Idea

I'm not a big Reddit user but this seemed like a very Reddit idea, so forgive any faux pas.
To start, Michigan has a law where charities can hold 'millionaire parties' and gamble - including poker. The way the law is structured charities can rent everything they need from a licensed supplier. There are now like 50 venues across the state wherein charities rent the room, tables, chairs, chips, dealers, cards, etc from the business for a flat fee, then the charity gets 100% of the rake. There was a moratorium on these rooms some time ago but I saw one open in 2018 and that got my wheels turning.
My context which can be skipped: I'm a 32yo actuary, business owner, and rec player with lots of experience. I played a lot in college and did well at a native casino and some of these Flint poker rooms playing 6/12 limit & 1/2nl which played more like 2/5 with straddles on. That said, although I can generally clean up really weak games and max out profits on good runs, I'm not a 'good' player anymore - I get a little loose, pay too much for draws especially after about 3-4 hours of play if I'm grinding or stuck, and overvalue premium hands post-flop. I had a good run in December 18 and January of this year at 2/5 games in Detroit, and decided I wanted to re-establish a bankroll and improve my play. So for the first time in the dawn of YouTube, I discovered poker vlogs.
The basic idea would be to create a studio table ala Live at the Bike somewhere in Michigan (or other state where opening a poker room isn't illegal) near an airport in an invite-only poker room. Who's invited? The people that own the room, and people that live stream.
At the outset, shares in the business are offered at *$100 each. With at least *500 shares sold that's *$50,000 which would be *enough to get the most barebones 6 table room open with no studio table. The short term goal would be to generate enough of a rake to be able to charge charities *$1,000/night average, 4 nights out of the week. (Each charity can do this 4 times per year, so we'd just set them up with 4-day blocks including Friday and Saturday, so the charge would be *$4,000 for the week. My guess is a full table generates *$60-100/hour, taking *$50 as a low estimate, times 6 tables full for 8 hours on Fri & Saturday, and 3 full tables on the other two days totals *$7,500. So the pitch to charities is that they pay *$4,000, but the invoice isn't due until closing time after 4 days, so really they just get *$3,500 free dollars. Notice that in this scenario half of the rake is returning to the club, which is where being an owner of the room makes sense.
Staff would be compensated with shares in the company and would just rely on tips at the outset. I think since they'd be owners min wage laws wouldn't apply. Even with min wage the math still works out. The *$16,000 in monthly revenue would leave enough left over after rent and other expenses to begin building out the studio.
To prevent early struggles from hampering progress, owner-members would be obligated/entitled to a *membership fee / *dividend, calculated *quarterly, which would start at *$0 and increase to as high as maybe *$25/share/quarter in the case of a slow start. Assuming revenues cover costs the dividend would remain *$0 for several years as profit would be reinvested and added value would be reflected in share price rather than paid out. Once it became clear that the room was capturing all the business it could, the dividend would begin.
Studio/Streaming component:
I'm well aware that the revenue generated from this component would not be significant, but the player-owned model would be a lot more sustainable with an extra draw and the free/profitable advertising ability. Attracting streamers for meetup games would mean great business too. It would be a tremendous draw for people that want to get into vlogging because owners regularly playing on the stream would be able to cut videos with little/none of their own equipment. Could even open the studio on off days for an owner for $30/hour including an engineer to shoot and cut a video for them including vids from an earlier live stream so they literally need nothing to start a vlog and can just focus on playing.
So yeah. That's my half of an idea.
Edit: If I were to do this it would be in Detroit or metro Detroit closer to the airport. The downtown area has come back tremendously and there would be plenty of interested players.
*I do already own a business so I'm not unaware of all the hurdles and areas in which the above plan is lacking details. I'm 1000% positive many comments will insist on how stupidly unrealistic this is because blah blah blah. All of my numbers are educated guesses based on my business & poker knowledge which I just inserted here as placeholders to an actual business plan that I never intend to flesh out. The idea here is to convey one idea for the basis of creating such a model. If someone else wanted to do this in Michigan near Detroit I would join, but I have no plans of doing this myself so please do not issue any corrections to numbers or warnings that business is risky and that my numbers are unrealistic or whatever else. I am aware.

FRIDAY CALL TO ACTION: We need your help in Michigan Reddit!

Ok Reddit, Grassroots Leadership in Michigan is making our final push to put pressure on our Superdelegates to vote along with their constituents who chose Sanders over Hillary. At the very least, we are asking them to pledge to vote proportionally with our state's voters. Right now, we are not getting much reception from them, so we need SandersforPresident to give our Superdelegates the Reddit Hug of Death, flooding all of their offices with calls on Friday, the 25th of March (today). We need to put the pressure in advance for the Saturday, April 2nd Superdelegate Meeting at the Greektown Casino in Detroit. This meeting IS open to the public, and we're looking to flood it with Sanders supporters, so if you live in Michigan, or even nearby Toledo, mark April 2nd at 10 am off on your calendar to stand with us. We are looking for 500 - 1000 Bernie Supporters to show up and demand that our Superdelegates stand with their constituents. We'll post more instruction on this in /Michigan4Sanders next week!
Here's the phone script and the phone numbers. Please call as many as you can (or all of them for super awesome bonus points;). We put all of their numbers so that if the line you call is busy, you can call another office.
Script for calling offices of Super Delegates
Hi I’m calling to leave an opinion for (Insert Super Delegate name here). Michigan Grassroots for Bernie has created a pledge for all 17 Michigan Superdelegates to sign saying they commit to casting their Superdelegate vote at the convention in Philadelphia in July for whichever democratic candidate has more pledged delegates after the primaries are finished. I think it’s important for the American people to decide who the nominee is rather than a few party officials. For more info about the pledge or in order to sign it you can contact the Michigan Grassroots for Bernie leaders who will be also be contacting your office and leaving their information for you. I hope that in the interest of a fair and Democratic Party nomination process you decide to sign this pledge.
(If you’re not from Michigan or even the area the superdelegate you’re calling represents DO NOT LEAVE ANY PERSONAL OR CONTACT INFO. Feel free to leave this info if you live in the area they represent, but don’t feel obligated to.
These are the Superdelegates we are focusing on today while we hammer down the contact info for the remaining Superdelegates.

Multiple current and alumni Wings signing free autographs in March, links/info here

First off and most immediately, we have Kris Draper in Flint doing an Xfinity location on 3/4, pretty far for most but cool if you're north of town. http://imgur.com/a/MuiWw
Alex Delvecchio is signing at the Motor City Casino viewing party 3/7, free tickets are limited but still available here: http://www.ticketmaster.com/detroit-red-wings-v-toronto-maple-detroit-michigan-03-07-2017/event/0800515DDC4228CE?artistid=805938&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=9#efeat4211
Alumni guest sign for an hour before puck drop but Alex signs a nice full signature and people will want photographs with him too, so be there really early for this one.
Then the Smith/Sheahan Meijer signings, those have been previously posted with the Meijer "Red Wings Experience" promotion, https://www.nhl.com/redwings/fans/experience but this now also includes a Todd Bertuzzi visit to a Dunhams in Chesterfield on 3/29. The "Red Wings Experience" is mostly just a thing where promo guys paid for by the Wings come out and have some games set up and some giveway swag and a player for autographs. Fun times all around. Todd Bertuzzi, Dunhams 51328 Gratiot Chesterfield Township, MI 48051 Phone: (586) 598-4625
Call for details, not sure if they do wrist bands or if theres item limits.
Now we've got Luke Glendening and Nick Jensen 3/19 in Livonia at Laurel Place Mall.
"Luke Glendening and Nick Jensen will be signing autographs on March 19, 2017, from 3:30pm to 4:30pm at Pro Sports Zone at Laurel Place Mall in Livonia. With a purchase you receive the autograph for free. No minimum purchase. They will have various items for sale to be signed."
Now this could mean you just need to buy any item from the store and then meet the dudes and get things you brought signed, or it could mean that only items bought there can be signed. The guys will probably sign anything but I guess call there to make sure. 1-734-469-4865
Then the alumni guests are so far unknown for the Farewell Fanday at JLA 3/21 but there will be atleast a few. So this concludes the 10+ different Wings you can meet this month for nothing more than gas money (and whatever item you grab from the Sheahan/Jensen thing).

Questions Answers
Well to get it going, scariest thing you have seen and also the funniest thing seen? There's this shady motel that we go to from time to time. One time, this black guy (not to sound racist, I'm just painting the picture for you) told me to step inside his room. I walk in and there were ten to twelve other dudes in there. There was a handgun sitting on a table nearby, and the guys were weighing out baggies of weed.
They shut the door behind me, and one guy got really close to me and confronted me about being late, and how he didn't want to pay for it. As I was backing towards the door, three more guys walked in. I apologized and said we were really swamped, and if they let me go, the bill would be on me. The main guy demanded I gave him all of the cash I had on me (about twenty-five bucks), and get out of his sight. I obliged and took off.
As far as the funniest, the first thing that comes to mind is when I delivered to this gaming store where kids gather to play Magic and Warhammer 40k. These two greasy guys started arguing about rules and whatnot during a MTG duel and started brawling right there in the middle of the store.
The main guy demanded I gave him all of the cash I had on me (about twenty-five bucks), and get out of his sight. I obliged and took off. The motel accepts cash as a payment without needing to see an ID or credit card. And the guy that placed the order didn't leave a name, and it was a bad phone number.
Damn that sounds pretty fucking scary! Also answers the question I asked. Thanks for the AMA! No problem!
Why would you even step in the room? I was fairly new at delivering and really really stupid.
What do you think would've happened if you demanded to get paid? I don't know if they would've killed me. But I know I would've gotten an ass beating and they would've dumped my body somewhere.
What you did wasn't bad for self-preservation really, it's just frustrating to let a group of people outright get away with armed robbery like that. I know, it's extremely frustrating. I always envisioned myself as the type of guy who would fight over five bucks just because he wanted to make a stand against the bad guy.
Then real life kicked in and I don't want to die over five bucks.
Have you ever seen any illegal activities, and if so, are you obliged to report them to the police? I don't want to go into too much detail. But I've witnessed domestic violence a few times and I've seen people dealing drugs. Our city is so overrun with rapes and murders that the police don't have time for a whole lot. Flint is basically Gotham City minus Christian Bale.
Thanks for answering! Another question: have you seen the city get worse over time? As in, a year ago, was it better than it is now, or has the crime increased in your tenure as pizza delivery man? It really seems like the city is getting worse. The North End of Flint is getting terrible. And as the better citizens move out and houses are getting foreclosed, the riffraff and thugs are moving more south. So the crime is steadily extending from the center origin.
I haven't been delivering long enough to personally notice a difference, no. But as a whole, the city is deteriorating. It seems every year the murder rate gets higher.
Is it as bad as Detroit? Detroit gets most of the publicity, is that just because its a bigger, more well-known city or is it actually worse? The thing with Flint vs. Detroit is that there may be more crime in Detroit, but that's because WAY more people live there. Per capita, Flint has Detroit beat.
Favorite customer? I have a few that I really enjoy delivering too. There's this particular family I deliver to outside of Flint. The dad is always drunk and gives me a much bigger tip than is necessary and the mom always tries stopping him. But they're always a riot.
My cousin was a pizza guy in flint, he ended up getting robbed, and shot and killed the guys that robbed him. Keep fighting the good fight. Also, how are the tips? Some days I'll walk out with twenty dollars, some days I'll walk out with almost two hundred. It just depends on where I go - if I take any catering orders, if I'm out in suburbia vs. the hood, if I just got a new sexy hair cut. There are a lot of variables.
Have you ever been offered drugs as a tip/payment? If so did you accept it? I've been offered weed a couple of times for a tip. I didn't accept it.
Why not? I guess I don't want anything like that coming back on me somehow.
Have you ever had any porn-ish encounters? The closest I've come to is a couple of girls who were in their bra and panties and they flashed me from their living room window as I was pulling out of the driveway. That was pretty sweet.
Gotta say, I'm surprised you haven't gotten more. I don't want to perpetuate the stereotype (Tons of freshmen try becoming Pizza Delivery Guys JUST to see tits), but I'd say during the summer, I got a flash a month, in the winter I got nothin' (depending on where you live). I feel for you, man. I get my fair share of gorgeous milfs. Like, the one from porn where you wish something like that would at least present itself. But nope.
I deliver to Planned Parenthood every Wednesday. That's pretty close, right? At least they've seen some action.
you went back, right? RIGHT? I have not. I might give him a call this summer if I'm ever looking for a good time.
LIES LIES LIES ... also can you bring me? Of course!
Why the hell not? :O. Because it's one of those situations where you're not sure if the guy is being serious or joking. And he hasn't ordered again, so I haven't had the chance to talk to him.
If I just called him out of the blue, that might be kind of weird.
Are you strapped? A guy I used to work with is. My brother is. My boss is. But quite frankly, I don't really trust myself with a gun. There have been times where I really wish I was strapped, though.
Does your business allow it? If you are a big chain, I highly doubt it. Liabilities and all. Yup, our chain allows it. The owner walks around with it right on his hip.
Ever been offered sex for pizza? please say yes. Only when I bring it home to my girlfriend. Haha.
What's the weirdest form of tip you've been given? (E.g. Drugs/sex) Condoms from planned parenthood, Magic The Gathering booster packs anytime I go into Gamer's Sanctuary.
I use one of those things more than the other.
"Here are some condoms." Haha this elicited a hearty chuckle from me.
"No thanks, I'm all set. I have some Magic booster packs." I wouldn't want to use planned parenthood condoms anyway. Trojan is the only brand I stick with.
Obviously. The two are pretty much mutually exclusive. Hey now. Even though I play Magic doesn't mean I don't get poonani.
Ever been robbed? Also what's the sketchiest thing you have encountered while on a delivery? I've been robbed once, check out my lengthy reply to FailIt.
One of the sketchier deliveries I took was to this apartment complex in the hood. Picture an inner-city apartment building with no parking lot save for one across the street, along with parallel parking in the road. There's guys dealing dope from their stoops, and everybody standing around just staring you down for being a white guy in a black neighborhood. And this is a place where rapes, murders, and robberies are an every-day occurrence.
You not only have to cross the street being in a neighborhood where you're not welcomed, you're also wearing a pizza hat and carrying a pizza delivery bag, so anybody who feels like robbing you at that moment knows you're carrying at least thirty to fifty bucks cash.
When I finally found the guy's apartment, he was a really cool dude. I just HATE going to that particular area.
Is your job like doing side missions in Grand Theft Auto where you basically drive around making stops and listening to 80's pop music? Sometimes I fantasize about that, haha. You have to keep yourself occupied all day.
Can you Tokyo Drift a pizza to my doorstep without fatalities? In the winter, sure.
If you won the lotto would you allow your Lamborghini to be molested by a pizza delivery sign on top? I'd drive a Mustang. And our pizza place doesn't use those signs. They're a hazard in a bad city like Flint.
Is your drivers license a few cans short of a six pack? Yes.
What if I don't want to destroy your sweater? Could I just pull this thread as I walk away? Watch me unravel, I'll so be naked!
As a pizza boy what do you consider a decent tip. I know you dont expect much in some of the areas you go to. But what to you is a good tip? A decent tip would be three to five dollars. Anything more is awesome, anything less is, "Okay, thanks. I guess." As a delivery driver, you rarely, RARELY see the standard "15 percent gratuity."
Also what is the best tip you ever got and or the worst. (besides not tipping at all) And measuring the best tip is a little tricky. The most I've ever gotten was sixty dollars, but that was for a $700 order to University of Michigan. So that wasn't even ten percent. I've gotten ten bucks from this guy on a fourteen dollar order. So that was pretty awesome. The worst tip from recent memory came from this guy who not only didn't tip me, but also bitched that I didn't have twenty cents to give back to him. As a rule, we don't carry loose change, we just round up.
Does your place have a delivery charge? I tend to tip less then I would if there's a delivery charge. We have a $2.50 delivery charge. But we only get .75 and the rest goes to the owner. So, that tip makes a huge difference to us.
Dude, you aren't a waiter, you're a pizza delivery guy. There's a difference between busting your ass for someone during a lunch rush for two to five dollars and driving someone a pizza, getting out of your car, bringing it to their door and driving back. You don't get a "standard 15% gratuity". Delivery drivers do so much more than waiters. They bag up the orders, get in their car, drive it across town dodging psycho drivers, paying for gas with their own money, and risking the possibility of getting mugged.
Waiters go from table to table. Big difference.
What customer pissed you off the most? I drove seven miles one way to this guy out in the middle of nowhere. Not only did he not tip me, he belittled me because I knocked on the door instead of using the knocker. He then checked his pizza and it had the right toppings, but it was a square deep-dish instead of a round hand-tossed, when the person who took the order repeated the order back to him over the phone.
What was the most unexpected thing that has happened to you while delivering a pizza? This morbidly obese guy answered the door in nothing but his stained whitey tighties while holding his Pomeranian. I definitely was not expecting that!
How many times have you been shot? Stabbed? I'm lucky enough to say that I haven't been shot or stabbed.
I got family in flint haha. At this trailer park I heard a man hitting his wife before she came to the door.
What is the weirdest position you've ever been put in while out delivering? I forgot her salad.
Do you like the band The Swellers? They rule & are from Flint! I saw them at a house show last summer. They were pretty sweet!
Do you generally prefer wearing white socks or black socks? Black socks on rainy or snowy days. White socks on sunny days.
What do you carry for self defense? Have you thought about getting your concealed carry permit? At the very least, how about pepper spray and a fixed blade pocket knife, if legal? I'm pretty handy with a bo-staff.
No, I really don't want to carry a gun, even for protection. I've considered getting a permit for one and keeping it just for delivering, but I don't want to end up shooting myself or something.
I thought about getting a knife to keep on me, however.
Have you ever delivered to Krispy Kreme AKA Froggy Fresh? Haha no, he lives in Burton. We don't deliver to Burton.
I work with a guy who went to high school with him.
How many references to Semi-Pro do you hear each day? Haha, none. I wish I could run into Will Ferrell someday singing "Love Me Sexy." That would be neat.
My friend went to Kettering University (in the middle of Flint) he always had some fun stories. I was picking him up to head up north one weekend and he gave me a tour of the town on our way out. His first instruction to me was, "if a guy starts walking up to your car, run the red light". Our first sight was where his friend was robbed walking to campus. He lived about 1/4 of a mile from campus, so his buddy would walk there. On one side of the street is an abandoned mechanics garage that looks like a meth den. On the other side of the street is a children's museum. Can you guess where he got robbed? You are right, the children's museum. At 12pm. Twice. Sounds like a fun place to live. Stay safe OP. Do you carry any self defense things? What time do you usually do deliveries? Thanks, I'll do my best to stay safe. I was talking to the owner today about different choices for mace. He said he would pick me up some next time he goes out for his. And I deliver from 11 am to 10 pm on weekdays, and until 11 pm on weekends.
Whoa what? Kettering is 8 guys to every girl. You sure you not confused about where you went? I was surprised too. Pretty girls at an engineering school. Whaaatt?
What do your parents think of you delivering pizza there? My dad hates it. But both of my older brother's delivered pizzas for years without too many problems. One accident and four muggings between the two of them.
I don't want to come out like a jack ass but what is your race? Would it make a big difference if you were of an ethnic race would people "respect" you more in that area? What race/races recide in Flint and who are the ones you should watch out for the most? Well, I'm white. Most people in the city of Flint are black. There is a black guy that I used to work with and he got mugged once, and he is a lot bigger than I am.
I really think criminals are indiscriminate with their targets, as long as they know they can win.
Do you know Michael Moore? Lol no. And as far as I know, he actually grew up in Davison, a suburb about twenty-five minutes away from Flint.
How much do you get paid, before tips? $7.40 an hour. Sigh.
Do they pay you a different wage while you're on the road? At PJ's they pay you $7.50 in store but $4 on the road, to "encourage celerity in returning from deliveries". Couldn't possibly be them being cheapasses and taking every opportunity to cut wages. Nope, it's the same wage all day.
Proof? I'll be delivering all day tomorrow, so I'll find time to take a selfie holding up my bag, I guess. Haha.
Does your pizza place have a x amount of time for being free? Any fun stories for your customers scamming freebies? Generally we tell people 45 minutes to an hour. We have a huge delivery area and actually deliver to six different towns. If it takes ridiculously long to get your pizza, we'll compensate you in some way, be it a store credit or a direct refund.
Do you leave your car running while walking up to the door to deliver the pizza? It's standard practice in my neck of the woods... If I'm out in the country or in the suburbs I'll leave my car on. But if I'm in the hood or delivering to a business I turn it off and lock it.
Do you accept credit cards or have a debit card machine? Or just cash? We accept credit and debit over the phone and then ask for a signature when we get to the door.
I used to deliver in Grand Blanc, so close, yet so different. Does the shooting of the Little Caesar's driver a few years back scare you shitless? Wow, I've never heard of that! I actually went to school in Grand Blanc, haha.
I mean, it's definitely scary sometimes. And I hate the fact that I feel like I'm risking my life for a measly tip at some points.
Probably about six months ago I heard of a pizza guy in Detroit getting shot in the chest. He ended up living, but it's still terrifying.
Link to www.mlive.com. I've read other articles that say he handed over the money, pizza, wallet, and cell phone, then was shot in the back as he was walking back to his car. My friend used to work at a GM plant and said that the stores would ask what he's paying with and then bring exact change in a zip lock bag so the drivers would have as little cash as possible on them. Edit: Dumb ass kids used their cell phone to make the call and had it delivered to a fake address between two houses. How did they not think it would be traced? Damn. That is scary. We don't go up into the north end, it's pretty much suicidal. But there are still rough parts that we do go to. Court and Bradley, Court and Ballenger, Flushing and Chevrolet, just to name a few.
I live in flint and eat a lot of pizza, I wonder if you've been to my house. Is the shady hotel you mentioned the travel inn? and if you don't mind what company do you work for? The shady hotel is Hometown Inn on Miller Road. They same one that just got raided for a meth lab.
I'd rather not mention what company I work for. It's a smaller establishment.
What percentage of pizza delivery guys smoke weed? Well we have four delivery drivers at our store. I smoke on a rare occasion (I haven't smoked since New Year's, which was almost six months ago). One smokes a couple times a month, one smokes every day, and one doesn't smoke at all.
Does the thrill of your job make it worth it, or just a headache? It really depends. Some days are better than others. It's definitely interesting, I'm never bored while out on the road.
As for now, until I find a better job I'll just keep on keepin' on.
What's it like in the exciting life of a pizza delivery driver? I have to deal with shitty co-workers, muggings, worry about car accidents, bad tippers, flat tires, making deliveries on time, AND I make minimum wage. What's not exciting?? =P.
Then why even do it? Considering the cons far outweigh the pros. Because I'm a broke college student. Having all that extra cash on hand, having a job where I get to drive around all day listening to music and enjoy time by myself, and coming in contact with interesting individuals is a pretty good time. I try not to let the negatives get to me, unless I get into a situation where I really feel my life is in danger.
Just out of curiosity, why do you live in Flint? It seems like a really shitty place to live. Obviously, you aren't making a killing delivering pizzas, but i find it hard to believe you couldn't still make ends meet living in a less dangerous place. Well I live in Swartz Creek. It's a rural town outside of Flint. I want to move out soon, but I just don't have a ton of money saved up for an apartment or small house.
Do you listen to weezer on your routes? Haha yes I do. pinkerton is one of my favorite driving albums.
Do black people really tip as bad as people think they do? That stereotype is actually pretty accurate.
Favorite pizza? Best smelling pizza (Since you have to bring them in your car and stuff)? My favorite pizza is this concoction I've made. Feta, mozzarella, and parm for the cheese. Chicken, red onion, green bell pepper, and tomato. Topped with garlic.
Delicious.
Best smelling pizza would be our BBQ Chicken pizza.
Have you ever felt that some of the Police in your area are just as dangerous as some of the criminals you have to deal with? I personally haven't felt that way. Some people do. You just really never see cops patrolling the streets.
Going for a lighter note here and maybe leaning towards the crazy, has pizza delivery ever had you at the door of some chick who offered payment in other forms other than money? Or is this only in the movies? As far as my experiences, it's only in the movies. =[
(Fenton, by the way, has a nice little downtown. The French Laundry is awesome!) And the French Laundry is delicious.
I've honestly never been to Flint (may have driven through, not sure), is the crime there bad enough to make you worry someone will come up behind you when delivering Pizza? Yeah, it's something I worry about every day.
Duuude! Where do you work?! I'm in Livonia and want pizza tonight! Lol sorry, you're out of our area!
Detroit was absolute hell on Earth and depressing when i lived there. So many bad things happened to me in Detroit. I don't think ill be visiting Michigan ever again. Thailand is way more suitable, plus it's so much warmer here. I haven't had any bad experiences in Detroit minus all of the panhandlers. If you go for a day trip it isn't so bad. Go to a Tigers game, hit up the casino, go to one of the bars or museum, it's pretty nice. I wouldn't like to live there, though.
Still pretty dirty though.
Stories. Craziest one. OP, deliver. (pun not intended, except when it was) I've elaborated on a couple of my crazier stories. The black guy with the pool of naked white women. Getting robbed in the hotel. The fight at the gamer's store.
There was this old woman I delivered to at a retirement home, and she answered her door with vomit all in her hair. I wanted to puke. I handed her the pen and paper for her signature, and when she gave it back, the paper was sopping wet and brown. I let her have the pen.
3rd picture to come up when I googled Flint Michigan, looks nice. That's my house! Wtfbrah?
They signal to potential criminals "Hey! I have cash, rob me!" This is correct. I could've worded my response a little bit better. We don't use them because it puts a bullseye right on our head.
YOUR BEST MEMORY COME ON. One of my favorite moments was to this wealthy rural area with these gorgeous, large houses. I go up to the door, and this smooth black dude wearing a turtle neck, sunglasses (at night), and one of those backwards beret things invites me inside.
I enter the foyer and see an indoor pool full of naked white girls playing Marco Polo.
I told the guy, "Wow, you have a beautiful home. And it looks like they're having a good time!" And he replied with, "Yeah, just living the American Dream, y'know?"
He then asked me if I was 21, I told him yes. He said if I bring the pizza, he'll supply the beer and I'm welcome over any time I want.
Holy fuck OP, stop entering these peoples houses when they tell you to! LMAO. I have trust issues. But this particular black guy was wearing a turtleneck sweater. I figured I could trust him! And look, it paid off!
I like to go to the machine shop in Flint, one of the best concert venues around. I don't fuck around in town at all though, I go to the show, then I get the fuck back on the freeway lol. Same protocol with harpos in detroit. Just really really shitty areas. It's true, man. Just like any shitty town, if you're downtown with a lot of people around, there are some fun and safe things to do. Just don't wander into the bad areas by yourself.
The Machine Shop is a lot of fun. I saw Evans Blue there once, loved it.
Come join us over at /TalesFromThePizzaGuy awesome AMA btw. Thanks! I was actually looking for a pizza guy sub, couldn't find one!
The only pizza place I know of with that huge of a delivery area is Cottage Inn. You have very good pizza. Carry on. Stay safe. Lol incorrect, sir.
I delivered pizza in Kalamazoo when I was in college. Got held up at gunpoint. Good thing I decided to make a drop and only had $20 in change like the bag said. Stay safe. Any time I get over a hundred bucks I do a drop so I only have 20 in my pocket.
The only thing i know about Flint, MI is Banana 101.5 Radio is an awesome rock station to listen to on the net! it's pretty good and i stumbled on to it by accident. I love the banana. Great crew, great music.
Great AMA, reminds me of when I delivered pizza in Pontiac, MI back when I was 19/20ish ('99/'00). I applaud you man, working the hood isnt easy, but it can be fun. You come across people of all walks of life, and every one of them has good stories to tell. Too true. The interesting individuals and stories that happen each day make it worth it.
I hate Pontiac, man.
