    I worked at Ray’s part-time during the summer of 2010 when I lived in NYC for an internship. He’s exactly the same, I am stunned and pleased he’s still kickin!
    Back when I worked there he wasn’t supposed to have the fryers and they were in the back on the ground covered in news papers 😬 glad he got some ventilation or whatever permits he needed! I also got to serve Matt Dillon an egg cream and help a Polish guy translate who was stabbed in the park.

      @@acrolein1870 Ugh, yeah like others said what is the whole story? I live in a smaller city myself. I'll just say this: One of my family members used to work in a major city like New York. He managed a store. Didn't own it though, but paid rent. The store was there for YEARS upon YEARS serving people. The land lord decided he wanted more money. He raised the rent to where my family member could not afford to keep up the store any more. He would have had to work 7 days a week plus day and night to make ends meet. He couldn't do it...so he let go of the business sadly. It was a family business. Eventually the store got remodeled and turned into a big chain sports store. No longer a mom & pops joint. It's just the shits when land lords get greedy and want more money. They should recognize how hard the person is working and if the place is successful.

    Ray is the best. He is indeed there every night and when you go out drinking and want some fried stuff he always greats you with a heeeey budyyyyyyyyy since he can't of course remember everyone's name but he makes you feel like he does. ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!

      most people are fat slobs and undisciplined. you can eat a single bar of the 10 pieces which is about 30-50 calories at most. every person in this video has a belly and is out of shape. they have no clue on how to eat right. not rays fault
