"The working man's bank" is always willing to make a deal. That's why for the people of Detroit, the go-to pawn shop for more than four decades has been American Jewelry and Loan. This series follows its day-to-day operations, focusing on third-generation pawnbroker and company patriarch Les Gold, a street-smart old-schooler known for driving a hard bargain but having a soft heart. The family business also includes Seth, Les' only son and business partner; daughter Ashley, the shop's general manager; and Les' wife, Lili. But there's no question who the boss is, and he's often heard reminding his team of more than 45 employees, "The customer always lies."

Jeff N @RT73766337 06/16/2024 If you watch Pawn Stars but it always bothered you that they had good items, experts who knew what they were talking about, and an ounce of professionalism then this show is for you. It's like the b rate version of Pawn Stars. The workers are the worst sales people I've ever seen. The items are a joke. Yet...I can't look away, like a car wreck. See more Read all reviews
