Went to the corner convenience store this afternoon that is down the street from the trophy shop (my last day here as owner, btw). Two things annoyed me.
1. Lots of independent convenience stores have started installing slot machines. It's not legal, many have gotten in trouble for it, but that doesn't seem to stop others. So that means some real weirdos are hanging out in an already weirdo prone business.
2. The cost of a 20 oz/591 mL bottle of soda is about $2.30 around here (or two for $3.50!), but a 12 oz/355 mL can is $0.89. That means I can get two cans for less than the cost of the bottle and still have a little more of that sweet caffeinated nectar that keeps me going. And yes, I guess I have gotten to that age where I see crap like this and it annoys me.
