Look if the mattress store is out of business, why do I always see lights on inside after 8:30 PM?

We have several Community Market arrangements in my town. People who make homemade stuff, like decorations, knitwear, art, crafts, jam, soap etc can book a stand for a day or several. It's extremely exhausting to sit on a shitty chair for 8 hours straight in a crowded place, and especially in the Christmas market when you are half outside and temperatures are close to freezing, so most people book two days in a row at most.
This one group of people just books end-to-end for the entire market duration. Like, weeks. They show up, fill their stand with TEMU crap, and take turns to sit at the stand and consistently sell nothing to nobody.
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)_/¯
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
oh yea that tiny indian restaurant with no customers and 10 waiters
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.
Why would a town with less than 15000 inhabitants need 3 laundromats, 3 hand carwashes and 2 mattress stores? The 4 nightshops are also shady.
The first two are businesses that basically run themselves, you only need someone to show up if something breaks, so it's perfect for someone sitting on a commercial lot.
