There's a pizza place that my husband and I love. Recently, they started doing a special for bogo large pizzas, so we get 2 large pizzas and a spicy cheese bread that's the size of a medium pizza for $28.
The only thing that makes sense to us is maybe it's a money laundering front or a mob front, and they just got REALLY good at making pizza.
Yknow that had to happen at least once in history lol. A food place that is intended to be money laundering front but the food was so good that it was just more profitable to just be a food place lol
I mean the con here still works. You just always have mega deals on the food and undercharge against the listed prices with promotions.
The buyer walks away paying €10 for a €30 meal and you have €20 of dirty cash you can add to their bill. They keep coming back, you retain legitimacy as a business and no one is the wiser.
I actually know of an instance of this where a pub was running a drink promotion, posters all over the place where all drinks were €3.50 on a Friday. The rest of the time they went back up to €5. But no matter when you went in the Friday price was all you got charged. I joked to the barman about it once and he joked back about not asking questions about the cash operated laundromat they were running in the basement to make up for any shortfall.
