Shoe shine stands do still exist, but this site is about tropes. You don't see them much in media anymore.

* Andy from ''[[Parks and Recreation]]'' gets the job of shoeshine boy at Pawnee City Hall after a season and a half of being essentially homeless and unemployed.
* ''[[Police Squad!]]'' had Johnny the Shoe-Shine Boy, who knew '''everything''', so much that he's listed on this site as an [[Almighty Janitor]].
* For a little while on ''[[Night Court]]'' there was a shoeshine stand that was an important place in the courthouse, with the shiner as a recurring character.
* El Chavo in ''[[El Chavo Del Ocho]]'' has tried a job as shoe shiner on more than one opportunity. Always ending up distracted mid-job and painting the socks, trousers and sometimes even the face of the poor adult that accepted his services.
