“What’s he saying?” Megan whispers as our five-foot Greek boss berates
us in half English, half Greek. “Is he going to fire us, or what?”
I listen intently. I’m not fluent but I know enough to hold a decent
conversation.

“θα σου χέσω το γάιδαρο!”
“The literal translation is ‘I will shit your donkey,’” I explain through
gritted teeth. “Greek people say it when they’re pissed.” That’s the thing
about Greek and English: never use a translator app on an angry Greek
person. Their classic one-liners are ripe for confusion.
“You two are big headache.” He spits on me a little when he’s talking, and
I take it. Dimitris has connections. I don’t mean mafia; I mean he owns all the
businesses on the island paying backpackers cash in hand. We can’t piss him
off.
Megan and I are spending the summer on a working holiday in idyllic
Mykonos, aka the number one party island in the Greek islands. We were
convinced that we’d make hundreds in tips.
The reality is that everyone wants a piece of paradise, and the island is
saturated with swarms of hardened backpackers from Australia and New
Zealand, and those guys know how to hustle. Never try to compete with an
Aussie backpacker. Most of them have been globetrotting since they were in
the womb. They have acquaintances in every coffee shop, hostel and bar on
the island, allowing them to nab the lucrative gigs, leaving us sunburnt
British backpackers with scraps.
The only option we had was working for Dimitris, earning a measly two
euros commission per boat ticket sold. Today we haven’t drummed up
enough to buy a bag of potatoes.
“So, you wanna clean the shit pipes of the yachts instead?” he yells,
gesticulating wildly. I assume his question is rhetorical. “You break my heart.
Watch!”
Dimitris snatches the placard from me. My role is to hold the placard and
lure tourists onto the mediocre, overpriced boat trip. I’ve mastered the
holding part but flunk at anything beyond that. He aggressively launches
himself on the many groups of people strolling the boardwalk of the
Mediterranean Sea.
Then he spots them.
The perfect prey.
They are in their fifties, maybe sixties, the innocent-looking couple
dragging wheeled luggage walking straight into his trap. They don’t stand a
chance.
