A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
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 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.
Like from crust to the tip of the slice?
Uber
Saw this in Reddit, but I'm banned 😃. Anyway, Norfolk VA: the French bakery/deli on Granby St, in Riverview... "Would you like to sample a pastry?" Sure - Hey, that's pretty good. "That'll be $40. Would you like more?" Uhh, no.
I walk practically every day in front of a boba tea shop. Never seen someone go in it, or even clerks behind the counter. The shop is open until 10pm every day.
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.
The best donut spots in my town are all sold out of donuts by 10a under most normal circumstances. Usually they just close up whenever they sell out, but list 10a as their "official" closing 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.

Mixue. They're suddenly just popping up everywhere, and the price of their ice cream/drinks is dirt cheap to a point where it doesn't even make any sense. I understand that the cost of those ingredients are dirt cheap anyway, but there's no way their margins cover operations, rent, labor.
I had go look up mixue and I now crave ice cream and tea. The hot and cold combo must be amazing. Possibly the cure to brain freeze.
I feel this way about mattress stores. Can't prove it either.
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.
Subway?
Rug stores. There’s around twelve of them along a couple miles of road. How many rug stores could one city possibly need?
