So lesson of the story, avoid the AAA named companies because they've been in the respawning business for a long time

Nah, back in the old days A1 Locksmith or AAA Windshields were just competing for top placement in the (alphabetized) phone book.

Look to Amazon for new ideas on DGA-derived names for your fly-by-night business.

A lot of cowboys used AAA-Something to bring in rubes.
And now AI-Something.
That's why Asus isn't called Pegasus.
The lesson is that hiring "ZZZ Lawn Care" is a really bad idea.
This was a plot point in The Accountant starring Ben Affleck.

He’s a criminal who launders money through small businesses he owns and the accounting firm he runs. He names it ZZZ Accounting so it doesn’t get a lot of calls through people looking up accountants in phone book.

Or at least the ZZZ corps if they made it that far down the alphabet.
