Wider view. Looks even MORE appetizing. Not at all shady. Looks just like the place the NG would choose.

Info about scamming money from benevolent organizations? Sounds like it. Looks like a front for a criminal organization or a fence for stolen goods.

Remain around the joint and see how many customers decide to go elsewhere. Again, daily until joint closes up in bankruptcy.

When I see National Guard at a restaurant …

… I pay for their dinner and leave before they know it.

No self respecting National Guard soldier would ever even consider eating at a sh!t trough like that, regardless.
