Perhaps odors like food might build-up if the air did
not go out the front door. The business wants a fresh
air smell. I can't tell. I don't have a good nose for
odors.

Alternatively, they could "scrub" the recycled air for
odors, but perhaps that's a more expensive mode of
operation.

Becasuse they believe that is one way to attract the customers they
need to
make money?
