I am an uncultured hillbilly who foraged for berries on the woods, so it amazes me that in the Big Apple there are these places where you can buy things.

    Insufferable condescension aside, not being car-bound for basic necessities is pretty fantastic and something that most people in the United States don't have.

      Okay, but shut the fuck up about bodegas, they’re fucking conscience stores

          I live in West Virginia and can walk to a Sheetz. Does you “booodogooos” have fucking pepperoni rolls? Oh I don’t think so.

              West Virginia is the shit. We got mountains and deer and you can shoot beer cans in your backyard all day if you want to. What does New York City have? High rent? Garbage smell? Rats? Chuck-E-Cheese style pizza that everyone pretends is awesome?

        Convenience stores very frequently lack fresh items of any kind. I've lived within 10 minutes of a few at different points. I could get a sandwich but not a tomato.

        Bodegas are just what corner stores are in most other countries. In typical US fashion, we made them pumped full of chemical-sugar drinks and food that could outlive you if you keep it in the packaging, then got rid of the "rabbit food".
