Another One Bites The Dust - Dennis Kaminer Latest Casualty At AJ&L


Thanks Dennis - You will always have a place in the family -  NOT!


It's not easy being a long time, dedicated and loyal employee at American Jewelry & Loan. Joining the ranks with Joel "Big Joe" Shannon and Rich Pyle is Dennis Kaminer. You remember Dennis, the older bald guy with the white beard. Have you noticed you haven't seen him on any of the new seasons shows? That is because he no longer works there. Hmmm, another employee who is an expert in his field and worked at American jewelry & loan for years, now gone? Seems to be a pattern here doesn't it?

Dennis is an old veteran of the pawn industry. You don't just find a man of his knowledge walking down the street. When you can have a person of his knowledge and expertise, you keep him on your staff. We don't know the answer as to why Dennis is no longer employed at the shop. Speculation would seem he was tired of appearing on the show, yet not compensated for it. It's been reported that was the issue with "Big Joe" and Rich Pyle. The only difference with Dennis is there was no show scripted around the incident like the other former employees.

You remember the episode where Rich was fired, then rehired. Totally a script for ratings. However, as Rich's popularity increased and began to take the attention from the Golds, it was time to for him to go. Did Rich quit? Yes. Where there factors that made him quit? Absolutely. You don't just "quit" a job you have had for over twenty years and there not be an issue as to why.

So aren't you asking yourself the same question? Why would an employee like Dennis, who has worked there for years, just quit? Maybe the Gold's will address it in one of there fake, bad acting office meetings. I wouldn't count on it if I where you. Nothing on that show is real. Why start now?
