A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
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.
There’s a shoe store near me. It stands alone in an almost non walkable part of a street. I never see a car in the parking lot. It’s always open and it has been there for, like, 15 years or more. It’s impossible that that store is profitable.
I keep thinking about the pizza store that was opened as a front for the mafia but did such good business that they quit doing the mafia thing and just sold pizzas full-time
There is an "unlicensed" car repair shop in my town. They always service upper-price class, new-looking cars with license plates from far away. Never actually seen anyone working on them, but the suit wearers that collect the cars always seem happy. Not fishy at all, no need to investigate.
Uber
Used to ship auto parts from a company called 'Specialty Products Company'.
"what'd you guys sell"
"IDK... 'Products?'..."
Still not convinced they aren't a money launderer.
we have what seems like about 15 mattress stores along one stretch of road, and we also have a store that sells nothing but bar stools. I've often thought that about those places...
The "Water and Donut Store" where they get mad if you ask for donuts, say it's not the right time of day for donuts (all times of day/night are the wrong time, but there are always three or four stale, lonely donuts in the large glass donut cases) and have a station where you may, for a small fee, fill your water jugs with minimally filtered tap water. 🤨
say it's not the right time of day for donuts
This feels like it's taken right out of a video game.
The auction centre every time they sell art (or whatever some of that stuff is supposed to be).
We have a local chain of antique shops, very high-end
Never see anyone come or go
We're lousy with antique shops here, but there is this one that is only open two days a week, for a few hours. They just sell thrift store quality junk and discounted (new) disposable kitchenware. They start cleaning 30 minutes before "closing time" and don't let you in the store.
There's a psychic/tarot reader on the highway near me that's been around as long as I can remember, and I don't think I've ever seen a car parked out front.
