Wait, That's Illegal: Fake Ghost Restaurant Resells Microwave Meals

I run a fake restaurant on a delivery app. I registered a company, bought all the take-away boxes from Amazon, signed up for a few delivery apps, made a few social media acounts and printed leaflets that I drop in mailboxes. I re-sell microwave meals...On some meals I add something to make them look better, like cheese. So far it's at around £200 a day in revenue. Nobody suspects a thing, soon someone will come for higene inspection, but I'll pass that check without any problems. It's not illegal to operate out of your own kitchen. Should I feel bad? I feel kind of proud to be fair and free as a bird from the 9-5 life.

This is a viral meme that is a screenshot of an anonymous confession post from Reddit's r/confession subreddit. The poster admits to running a fake ghost restaurant on major food delivery apps: they registered a company, bought generic takeaway packaging from Amazon, advertise via leaflets, and resell pre-made frozen microwave meals (adding small cosmetic touches like extra cheese to make the food look homemade). They earn roughly £200 per day in revenue, operate the entire business out of their own home kitchen, note that home kitchen operation is technically legal in their area, and expect to pass any upcoming hygiene inspection. They end by asking if they should feel guilty, and state they feel proud to have escaped the traditional 9-to-5 work grind. The meme is titled 'Wait, that's illegal' referencing that while the business is technically legal, it violates consumer trust and expectations.

The original confession was posted anonymously to the Reddit subreddit r/confession. This screenshot of the post was later reposted to 9Gag as a viral meme with the title 'Wait, that's illegal', which highlights the sketchy, ethically questionable nature of the poster's technically-legal business model.
