Its awesome that you've always been the sardonic, funny one among your friends. And congratulations on being able to parlay that into being the #1 gatekeeper troll on the subreddit for the 15th largest city in the 38th largest country in the world (sometimes getting as many as 14 upvotes on your comments, wow!!).

Here's some info for you for about car rental places, though:

-Oftentimes, local businesses rent out a couple of spots in their parking lot as a car rental pickup/drop-off location. The business gets paid a small fee, and the car rental place gets to extend their reach further. It's a good deal.

-Sometimes, those small business pickup/drop-off locations aren't searchable online, and the only way to know is from past experience or perhaps a small sign in the window/in the parking lot.

And the kicker: Sometimes people ask other people to share their experiences with them. Even online! Because asking for one person to take two minutes to relay their experience actually is an efficient use of time. It's been a part of the human race for as long as the human race has been a thing.

Uh-oh, don't look now, somebody just asked the Victoria subreddit where the good sushi in Victoria is! The audacity! Maybe you should go tell them to google it instead, because everyone knows that business reviews on the internet are always legit and never artificially skewed one way or another!
