00:00There is a local woman who says a marijuana dispensary who also does taxes overcharged
00:16her.
00:16Yep.
00:17Here's that story.
00:18Melkia Oden, who lives on Detroit's east side, decided to go to the Greenwood district to
00:23prepare her 2015 state and federal tax returns.
00:26That's crazy, dude.
00:27From the outside, it seems like a tax service place, that's what it says, but it also says
00:32wellness center.
00:34Did you know that this tax place was also a marijuana dispensary?
00:39Are there combo businesses that do taxes and stuff?
00:42Can I get, like, you know, some shrimp and taxes?
00:45Yeah, I'm sure you can, dude.
00:47Are there places like this in the city that do taxes?
00:49Shrimp and taxes.
00:51There is.
00:51There's a lot of high taxes.
00:53There has to be, dude.
00:54There's shrimp and taxes, you can get it.
00:56Have you tried shrimp and taxes?
00:57I bet you can.
00:58That would be some good shrimp.
00:59I bet.
00:59I don't even know if it will be good.
01:01It won't be.
01:01So it is shrimp and taxes.
01:03The shrimp is half-ass and so are your taxes.
01:08The numbers will not be right.
01:09I just don't understand why people just don't go to the places that do it.
01:13Like, just go to HR Block.
01:14Legitimate places?
01:14Legitimate places?
01:15Yeah, like an HR Block.
01:16And they're going to charge you 85 bucks.
01:18Right.
01:18Like, people are paying 400 bucks.
01:20They get you right.
01:21It's cheaper.
01:22You get it done right.
01:22Oh my god, I just don't get it.
01:24Like, you went to the weed place because you said you know somebody, and then they charge
01:29you almost 400 bucks?
01:30Yeah, it's crazy.
01:31When you could get it done by someone who you don't know, you know, where no one is
01:36giving out weed.
01:37And it's like 85 to 100 bucks.
01:40Come on.
01:41I am going to open up a shrimp and taxes place.
01:43And a green shrimp and taxes.
01:46Come on down.
01:46Come on down.
01:48Dave, did you look up shrimp and taxes?
01:49There was no shrimp and taxes.
01:50No, there was lots of shrimp.
01:53You're in the market for some lackluster shrimp.
01:56You want me to overcharge you for your taxes?
01:57Well, I got you covered.
01:59You're at Andy Green's Shrimp and Taxes.
02:01I wanted to diversify.
02:04He's got one happy customer right here.
02:06Look at him.
02:06How is that delicious, Scripps?
02:09It's not very good.
02:10I knew it wouldn't be.
02:12And my taxes is wrong again.
02:15I told you.
02:16You signed a bunch of things and said that I am not.
02:18I can't sue him.
02:19He cannot sue me for either the shrimp or the taxes.
02:23I still love this place.
02:24He does.
02:24Happy customer like everybody.
02:27But I swear to God, don't get your taxes done here.
02:30That will screw you.
02:32And if you do eat my shrimp, I'd see a doctor right away.
02:36Who?
02:36Andy Green.
02:36I hit the bathroom.
02:37Who does your taxes there at Andy Green's Shrimp and Taxes?
02:40Well, we have one really smart shrimp that hops around on some buttons.
02:46He gets it all done.
02:47He crunches the numbers.
02:48I think he's all right.
02:48I am really, really high.
02:50I understand that dishwasher also helps out on occasion.
02:53He does.
02:54He helps out mostly with the shrimp.
02:56He raises them from birth, serenades them, marinades them.
03:01Quite a business plan.
03:02Hope it takes off for you.
03:03It is right on 8 Mile.
03:05Oh, he's even changing locations.
03:07That's where he is.
03:08Oh, yeah.
03:09Come on down to Andy Green's Shrimp and Taxes.
03:11Right off 75.
03:12Right off 75.
03:13And 8 Mile.
03:14I'd pass it every day.
03:16Yeah.
03:16Oh, shrimp and taxes.
03:18There are a lot of combo businesses, I think, in Detroit.
03:21Like the things that do multiple and they make no sense.
03:27Oh, yeah.
03:28It's always like liquor stores will cash your checks.
03:30Oh, yeah.
03:31You know, apparently there is a store that says human hair and liquor.
03:35Human hair and liquor.
03:38It's just a science business I just started.
03:42I thought it was a great combo of things.
03:44It's my favorite two things.
03:47Booze and the smell of human hair.
03:50Come on down to Buffalo Bills.
03:52Human hair and liquor.
03:53Off Gratiot.
03:54Off Gratiot.
03:55Welcome.
03:57Come on in the back room.
03:59I'll show you some.
04:00I got more hair now.
04:03That's how I keep everything stocked.
04:07Here's the thing.
04:08I'll put you in a pit or you can shave all your hair off.
04:11Just give me your hair.
04:14Come on.
04:17Oh, yeah.
04:18Human hair and liquor.
04:20Yeah.
04:20Feel like getting bombed and also want to rub your fingers through human hair.
04:29I know I do.
04:31I look so pretty.
04:35Come on down.
04:37Come in my goddamn store.
04:42Nobody's coming here.
04:45Nobody's coming here.
04:46Why?
04:50Why not?
04:51Buffalo Bills, human hair and liquor.
05:07Now I'm going to brush it.
05:10It's a great time.
05:12It's going to be a great time.
05:14Let me show you the back room.
05:16Let me braid your hair.
05:21New hair daily.
05:25That's not crazy.
05:26That's not crazy.
05:27That's just cute.
05:28That's their slogan.
05:30New hair daily.
05:31New hair daily.
05:32That is.
05:32Yeah, that is his slogan.
05:36No thanks.
05:38I'm going to pass.
05:39All the best to you, Buffalo.
05:39Perfect conditioner in your hair.
05:41No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
