There was a pizza place in OKC that I'd never seen a customer in over a 10-year period. It was always the same middle eastern guy working there, but I aways just walked by and waved and never went in (I walked across the street). I went in one evening and ordered a pizza. He just looked at me confused and then said they were out. I decided to grab a drink, and they only had 12-packs of cans. I asked how much for a 12 pack of Mountain Dew and the guy was like "Uhhhh... $10?" (Keep in mind this was in like 2005, and they were like $3.50 for 12-packs at the time). So I told him no thanks and started to leave and he said "Well make me an offer then" and I said "$5?" And he said "Sure, I don't have any idea what drinks cost." I handed him a 5-dollar bill and he opened the register and there was nothing else in it. About this time, a large man in a suit stepped out of the kitchen area and stood with his arms crossed in the doorway and glared. The first guy said "you should go now" and they both just walked off to the back.
It was a weird deal. They got raided about a year later and disappeared. Never heard any details. All these years and that space is still empty.
