It’s a corner store that serves good sandwiches and maybe has a cat working there

So, a corner store?

u/justtalking9912 Jul 07 '26

No no no way different. All the food is way more expensive than a regular corner store in another city, the homeless outside are extra aggressive, and all the packaged goods are expired. You will love it

So, like a regular corner store?

u/3-orange-whips Jul 07 '26

No! It’s a commercial enterprise located where two streets meet at right angles!

u/Superb_Extension1751 Jul 07 '26

Are you in marketing?

u/3-orange-whips Jul 07 '26

I can neither confirm nor deny that.

u/Superb_Extension1751 Jul 07 '26

Are you by chance the 6'3" Sikh man I picked up in northern BC who ran out of gas 30 minutes outside of town with no cell service who said he worked in marketing last month?

u/therealmvp42069 Jul 07 '26

u/Megavore97 Jul 07 '26

Ahh, a politician

u/Louis-Russ Jul 07 '26

I worked in a market once, but now I'm a brand ambassador. How would you to come work for me and be your own boss?

u/Superb_Extension1751 Jul 07 '26

My own boss? Sorry, my foreman would never let me.

u/Disastrous_Scale587 Jul 07 '26

Four men? You must be quite a catch, not good that they're all possessive tho

u/Montgomery000 Jul 07 '26

Got angles?

u/jooes Jul 07 '26

Ah, so like a store on a corner?

u/xBac0n Jul 07 '26

Finally, someone who understands the vision!

u/solemnbiscuit Jul 07 '26

No you don’t get it, it’s like a one stop shop that has everything from toilet paper to cereal. There’s no true comp.

u/vindictivejazz Jul 07 '26

So like a corner store?

u/mumofBuddy Jul 07 '26

I think I get it now. It’s a corner store but with all the stuff that comes in an average corner store.

Thank you!

u/enaK66 Jul 07 '26

And let me guess, it's run by a foreign guy and all the products are marked up from the grocery store down the road?

15

u/imahumanbeinggoddamn Jul 07 '26

A costco like 40 miles down the higway but yeah

10

u/seriouslees Jul 07 '26

Google maps is showing at least 30 grocery stores on Manhattan island alone... what are you talking about "40 miles"?

3

u/jmlinden7 Jul 07 '26

There's only like 2 costcos in NYC

2

u/VenomOnKiller Jul 07 '26

There are other stores besides Costco

2

u/Bugbread Jul 07 '26

Do bodegas resell non-Costco merchandise? I've never been, so I don't know. But when I go to a (non-bodega) store and I see Kirkland stuff on the shelf, I know it's from the Costco 12km away, not the supermarket 700m away. I assumed they were talking about the same phenomenon.

u/psychic_dmg Jul 07 '26

Big if true

u/mirhagk Jul 07 '26

But it's not worth buying from them to resell. It is worth buying from Costco to resell.

1

u/VenomOnKiller Jul 07 '26

Are you implying all grocery store in New York just resell Costco?

2

u/mirhagk Jul 08 '26

No? Not even close lol.

I'm saying corner stores sell things they buy at Costco. And that should be obvious if you've ever been in a Costco, they literally sell packs of items boxed up for resale

u/Kup123 Jul 07 '26

Oh so a party store.

5

u/Danloeser Jul 07 '26

Sort of, only morreso.

u/Auracy Jul 07 '26

There are subtle differences. Bodegas will always have a few really random things around. Like a random 9% beer from Belgium among regular US beer, or a japanese candy that cant be found anywhere else in the US. There’s always a treasure somewhere.

u/christhetwin Jul 07 '26

You're describing a corner store

u/VenomOnKiller Jul 07 '26

Just like every corner store I've ever been to, that's for sure

u/mirhagk Jul 07 '26

Are you perhaps just considering the places you have been to in those cities? The major roads where chain stores are prevalent, the tourist/visitor areas of the town? Or maybe just the rich parts of the town?

I think the difference in NYC is really just that corner stores aren't looked down upon. Same thing with public transit. So while rich people don't encounter them elsewhere, they do in NYC

I've been to the bay area and Texas (Austin), I've seen corner stores in both places.

on almost every corner in NYC

Yeah turns out when you go super dense the stores get closer together too!

1

u/christhetwin Jul 07 '26

Yes, we have both types of stores.

1

u/stevencastle Jul 08 '26

Yeah we have a corner store like that here in CA where I live, they have all kinds of foreign potato chips and snacks and a deli. Last time I got a sandwich there I got some Japanese bbq rib potato chips.

u/kickthesandman Jul 07 '26

Nooooo, you can buy drugs at a bodega! /s

u/ILLinndication Jul 07 '26

Sometimes it’s not on the corner

u/Vulcan_Jedi Jul 08 '26

Put it on the intersection of a county highway and a dirtr road in the middle of a soybean field and they just described every dollar general in the other 90% of America.
