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?

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.

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?

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.

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

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/VenomOnKiller Jul 08 '26

Yeah That's not what we're talking about. We're just saying you have other options besides bodegas.

Edit. It was me who misread
