I totally get the point you're trying to make (and don't even disagree) but I think the analogy isn't quite right.
I'd actually be surprised if I got robbed at a mobbed-up restaurant; my naive understanding was that they actual put a lot of effort into keeping places like that above-board so they have legit businesses to attach their name/revenue/employees to, while still retaining muscle in case a rival tries something. It's arguably one of the last places I'd expected to get robbed outright.
It’s like when you’re having dinner at a restaurant owned by the mob and act surprised when the owner pays for your meal because “you look like such nice girls.”
