There’s a video rental shop in Houston. Don’t understand how they’ve stayed in business for so long.

Poor people
i work at a bank, and there's a restaurant owner who brings in so much cash, despite his place having terrible food. then again, old people may just like it
There's a gas station just outside of town where the price is always ridiculous. It's not uncommon for it to be over a dollar more per gallon (about 36¢ CAD/€0,23 more per litre) than the gas station just one block away. I don't know how it stays in business if they're not doing something sketchy.
We have a gas station that's almost a dollar less than competition and opposite corners of another gas station. It always boggles my mind how anyone would go to the more expensive one given you can see the prices of both at the same time.
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’ve never physically been in a print shop in my whole life but I’ve certainly used them many times by phone/mail/web.
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.
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 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’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 feel this way about mattress stores. Can't prove it either.
Local drive-thru chicken joint took a noticeable dive in quality over the course of about 2 years while I was growing up, then it was on the news that a bunch of people got busted selling crack out of the place.
