But they only have one door for deliveries. LOL

The only difference is the prices.

Sign posted at a bar & grill: Friday night—spaghetti wrestling! Saturday—All you can eat spaghetti!

Waste not, want not. Wouldn’t want it anyway.

What ever doesn’t get eaten at the sushi bar becomes bait at the bait shop. What ever bait doesn’t sell at the bait shop goes onto the sushi bar.

If they switched the signs, would anyone notice??

Reminds me of the joke veterinary clinic / taxidermist shop, either way you get your dog back.

Just a coincidence.

This would be like having a day old bakery right next door to a bakery.

In Flushing, on Northern Blvd, around 154th st, there is a row of shops. In the row, there is a Sushi shop next door to a bait shop. I haven’t been there in at least five years; I don’t know if they’re still there but I found it humourous.

and that explains why there are no customers there at all….!

Aren’t bait and sushi the same thing?

I think we’ve all noticed that there’s something fishy here.

Diversification, a business school lesson.

Was driving through Del Mar, CA (near San Diego) years ago and saw a two story building: tropical fish store on the bottom, sushi restaurant above it

Which side gets the shipments in?

If instead of the sushi it was an electrician, it could be called “Bait and Switch”

“Sushi—I hate the stuff. Although, I tell you, I had some the other day. I took it home, I cooked it, it wasn’t bad. It tasted like fish.”

—taxi driver in Desperately Seeking Susan

oh, dear

My grandfather had 2 businesses next to each other. One was a funeral home and the other a meat packing plant.

Direction of work flow is important.

I have noticed over the years that it seems most people thing sushi is raw fish. Sushi is a rice dish that often incorporates raw fish. Sushi doesn’t even have to have fish in it.

Today’s bait is tomorrow’s plate.I guess it could go either way.
