Does Ashley Gold Really Work At American Jewelry & Loan?

If you have ever watched Hardcore Pawn or are a fan of the show, you may have noticed it seems a little scripted. Some have went as far as to question if the Golds really even work there full time.

The answer is yes, sort of. Les and Seth Gold do go to work at the shop daily. However, Ashley is another story. According to several sources, she only shows up during production. When the show is not filming, Ashley is no where to be found. She does it for the publicity... and the money of course.

Ashley Gold is married to Jordan Broad. Mr. Broad is quite the entrepreneur. Daddy Les has made a decent living hustling desperate people out their tennis shoes but Sugar Daddy J.B. is where "Ash" gets her dollar bills.

Mr. Broad is the CEO of  The Institute for Applied Creativity, the COO of Chalkfly.com and even has a consulting business, JRB Market Consulting. He was the force for Intel during the worldwide launch of the Pentium 4 processor. Pretty impressive resume. Jordan was also the brains behind the book that a ghostwriter wrote, For What It's Worth: Business Wisdom from a Pawnbroker 

Why would anyone show up to a J.O.B. everyday and endure the abuse they portray on this show? They wouldn't and she doesn't. 
 
So don't feel sorry for Ash when some "staged" customer gets all up in her grill. She can endure it in order to get that paycheck from the production company. Does she need the money? Of course not but when you have Gold blood running through your veins, you grab all you can get.

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?
