Their best dish was veal with plantains, mango sauce and cayenne pepper, but their most popular was the cocaine they didn't list on the menu. I worked for them, but not as a buss boy. I bought my own car with my own money, which pissed my dad off. I bought my own clothes and food when he gave me this lecture about his role as a parent, and after he realized I didn't need him anymore, he just bided his time. My...

She took a little device out of her purse. It looked like one of those black things the bank teller uses to swipe your card at the window. She held it up and told me that it was a card cloner. "What I'm going to need you to do, is every customer that pays with a credit card, you'll divert their attention to the wall of other things we offer, while swiping the card with this, then you go ahead and swipe the card through the POS and do the transaction. That's all." "Why?" She sighed heavily, as if resigning herself to having to explain something to a child. "This is the real business I am in....
