I worked DNS and SND stock summers and Xmas during the late 70s, just wondering if anyone else on here worked under John Cioc, Mike Rosetti at DNS or DK at SND. Uncle Zookie, Steve Brodsky and Harold were the mgrs at DNS that I remember, and of course Lester at SND. Anyone else remember Ezra or Jack in sales at DNS, or Angel, Ralphie, Tito, Richie, Cunnie in DNS stock?

Been a long, long time but this site sure brings back a lot of memories (mostly good ones!). If anyone remembers, I was the guy who Zookie used to let ride the black Honda 750K through the Bronx store and store it upstairs.

Hope life after CE has been good to you....

By the time I got to the Bronx (Central Service), Harold Morris had already been moved to Debbie Audio (Hartsdale). Brodsky was still in the Bronx though. My favorite memory of Brodsky was that he would kick the shit out of the hushos in the break room, while the moonlighting cops-turned-security guards blocked the doors so they couldn't get out. Now THAT is crazy!!!

When I worked in Carle Place service later on, Brodsky was the store manager there. It was during the whole stock scandal, and Brodsky got taken away in handcuffs for taking a news photographer's camera and breaking it over the guys head.

Yes, THOSE were the days!!!

Yeah, Steve was definitely a wild guy. I remember him mooning people out the back of one of the Hertz rental vans we used at DNS to make deliveries (going out on deliveries were always my favorite part of working in stock, even after I almost got stabbed during an attempted hold-up over by River Ave & the Grand Concourse).

I also remember being stuck in the Bronx store with him John Momoso ("Moe the Guard"), Roberta the register G, Brodsky, an audio sales guy named Steve Geller, Gene Hedgey, Morris the record dept mgr and his wife, and a boat-load of stock and sales guys during the '77 blackout. Now that was wild! The power went out before we could lower the riot gates over the windows and doors, and the chain jammed when then tried lowering it manually. Within 45 minutes, we were surrounded by about 100 wild-eyed locals that had only one thing on their mind. Moe had to fire off two .38 rounds to keep em outta the store after they broke the plate glass windows trying to rush the joint. All he had was one 5 shot Ruger in an ankle holster, man was he glad he didn't need the other three rounds!(weren't we all?) After that we parked both the delivery van and a bunch of cars up on the sidewalk on Fordham as a barricade. Man, I remember watching Busch's jewelers get hit first, and then saw a King Louie armchair magically walking down the street in pitch darkness on the backs of some guy half the size of it! I still have this "Death Squad" T-shirt featuring a huge DeadHead logo, it was *quite* surreal.....

Yeah, although I only worked summers and holidays (Dad was very big on me staying in school and going onto to bigger things in life) the memories of the things that happened and the events that transpired during my Crazy Eddie days are etched into my mind like a laser beam. Had a blast, especially when hanging with some of the folks from the other stores (SND, ULS, Moore, the Warehouse, etc) at events like the "Crazy Eddie Night of Thrills" at Raceway Park, Englishtown NJ. Man, I remember riding in a pickup down the track slamming yellow CE frisbees into the crowds as souvenirs. Man, we had such a blast just getting there. Later.....
