Former Hardcore Pawn employee Bobby Janiec Makes a Shocking Revelation!
Former employee Bobby Janiec has made a few shocking revelations saying that there were some stuff that was hard to see and some stories that were hard to hear as it is super easy to be able to sit at home and watch something without knowing any of them or what the situation was in reality.
While talking about a few claims, Bobby further cleared the air saying that he never got a script when he walked into work and never had any direction as well. He further added that despite how that person ended up in the store, it was a real negotiation for them, and that was real money handed out as those items that they bought, once they were ready to sell, would soon hit the sales floor, and one can buy the things they saw on the show.
Bobby also explained how he never had any direction on what he needed to do or how he needed to conduct himself in a deal or thing. While talking about one of the memorable moments during Hardcore Pawn’s nine seasons, there was a mention of the time when the head of security, Joe, was sacked for stealing, and Bobby broke his silence over the matter, saying how inside those four walls, they were brothers so he chose not to offer anything outside of what viewers saw while admitting that the incident was all real.
