I know this great money laundering scheme in town. You take filthy money and they turn it into clean tamales. Abuelita has the slickest game in the county

There used to be a burger joint in my town that had terrible burgers, but they were ridiculously cheap. No idea how they made money, but they were always Russian guys and suits there. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The auction centre every time they sell art (or whatever some of that stuff is supposed to be).
There is a rug store here that has been "going out of business" for decades. Since before they moved to their current location in a massive new building.
Kansas City…a city full of fantastic BBQ.
There’s the one place with trash BBQ and no customers. I always wondered…
Which place? We have so many trash BBQ places with no customers. Well, we also have a lot of trash BBQ places that get customers, too.
Wyandot Barbeque.
Yes that is spelled correctly. They didn’t even spell Wyandotte or Barbecue correctly.
Don’t get me wrong. Love a hole-in-the-wall bbq place that’s secretly great. That place ain’t it.
It seems to me the people who love it went as a kid. I guess it’s nostalgia?
If i were to be charitable to that place, I would say that first, the fries slap. Everything else on the menu is pretty mid. The other positive is that their sauce is more like a Carolina or Memphis style sauce rather than the St Louis style that you get at almost every other bbq joint in kc, and there are a lot of people that prefer that style and can't get it anywhere else. Now, that said, all of my information is out of date because I haven't been to either location in probably close to 10 years

Sweet shop right next to my old college. Never once saw anyone go in, it was never open, yet always fully stocked.
If its never opened wouldnt they not sell anything and therefor always be stocked?

That one
In eastern europe it’s like every second shop so you get quickly used to it
Candy stores in Copenhagen that never seem to have customers, but are weirdly still around.

There's a pet store on the inside of a tiny mall thats part of a strip mall. Every other business in that part of the mall dies, especially since the dmv relocated. Only thing that has remained consistent for the nearly 30 years I have walked this earth is the pet store and the nail salon. I at least see customers at the nail salon.
There’s a video rental shop in Houston. Don’t understand how they’ve stayed in business for so long.
Poor people
Uber
Used to live in a street with 7 barber shops, in a town known for drugs smuggling. It was safe to walk there at night though surpisingly.
There's a donut shop near me that's only open from 1am to 10am. If that's not suspicious then I don't know what is.

There's a place ik that sells VAST pizzas - a slice of that stuff is maybe 70cm long - and they somehow sell each slice for $5. Definitely suspicious profit margins.

There was a printing shop where I used to live. This was back in 2017ish. I lived there 3 years, and would walk by it all the time bcz i lived close by. I never saw a single customer go in there in the three years I lived there. They were money laundering.

I feel this way about mattress stores. Can't prove it either.
