Is there a business in your town, which you are 100% sure is a front?

Oh yeah, I wandered in. I was with a group of people that didn't really know each other. We were supposed to see a niche movie at the movie theater. It was a one time showing special event. It was a group of people that my wife met online that is into this franchise. Anyway, the company that made the movie forgot to send the movie to the movie theater. Or rather, they sent it to the wrong movie theater. They were going to show the movie the next day instead, and gave us all refunds and free movie vouchers. But the group was already all there, so we decided to walk to a local coffee shop nearby. It wasn't a coffee shop. It was a casino. Casinos are not legal where I live. We walked in, awkwardly looked around and walked out and went to Starbucks.
Unrelated, but their toilet was on the patio outside. Very weird experience all around.
- That story is a roller coaster.
  
  It's likely also a front. I wouldn't get in one of those carts
- But wait, can you start at the beginning? How did you meet your wife?
  
  In the casino's patio bathroom.
- Oh theres a bunch of those around here. Its not really a casino per say, but they have a ton of state sanctioned lottery games that look like video slot machines.
  
  Have lots of those in Oregon. They are required to sell some food so they aren't just straight up gaming establishments, but is a semi government-sanctioned way to bend gambling laws. "Lotto Delis" they're sometimes called.
  
  Yeah, that's where I'm from. They all got that keno.
