This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon frightened off a front for chinese international operations. He looked so weird they thought it's an undercover agent.

Nah, there’s a Chinese place about 5 minutes from my house that is either some rich guy’s shitty project, or more likely, a money laundering front.

Place is never ordered from, only ever has the same 3 cars in the lot, and has been open for about 15 years. It survived COVID when half the restaurants in my city had to close up shop.

I went in once about 10 years ago, and the food was just god awful. No flavor and it looked like week old microwaved Chinese. The whole place was filthy and I was amazed it hadn’t been shut down.

No way that OP stumbled into a front and actually enjoyed the food, even if they were as high as the space station.

I agree with your conclusion, you usually don't run the front for real to fly under the radar better. Maybe I thought about underground restaurants I've seen a couple of times targeting plentiful chinese tourists? I've been in a couple of these. Ground level, no signs, mute chinese personal, hierogliphs on the menu and just a word of a month from locals that you can fill your stomack for pennies there. Maybe they stumbled upon one such place and can't recall where it was.

They did wish he was covered.

Crocks - check.

Pants - check.

Glasses to hide my bloodshot wandering eyes - check.

Me, I'm good to go.
