I remember the Fish Market deal ~ at the same time the very same company that moved in and pushed out the Mob also tried to move into my neighborhood down here in Virginia.

First thing was I needed a special pick up, so I called them and made arrangements for it. Even paid in advance. They didn't pick up and didn't pick up and didn't pick up for weeks. It became an embarrassment because the stuff was out on the sidewalk ready for pickup (as required).

Finally I managed to flag down one of their trucks. The driver told me "You gots to pay", meaning I had to pay him a bribe before he'd do what the company told him to do.

I took that to the county board ~ figured I could get their license pulled for that kind of nonsense.

No doubt they pull the same stuff in NYC, so what's the difference between them and the mob?

Not a whole lot, differance might be that in NYC, some politician looking for a name might make a big deal out of it, or corporate might try and fire the guy if they hear about it, the unions are corrupt as hell over here though (as they seem to be everywhere).

Whenever I deal with some idiot who wants a bribe, I handle by just going over their heads. The higher up, the better, or getting a lawyer to make a phone call, it usually puts an end to the nonsense.
