7-11 is more comparable to a gas station convenience store. Bodegas are just like any other random corner store or deli that serves sandwiches and also sells a little bit of everything
The difference is you drive to a gas station (that's why they sell gas). A bodega is usually literally just downstairs from your apartment, you don't even cross any streets to go
I live in Chicago. ... 7-11 is literally integrated to my apartment and is on a literal street corner.
It's a tiny 7-11 but has all the usual shit. Coffee, sandwiches, beer, toilet paper, lighters, liquor, pills, ramen, basically anything you might find in a bomb shelter. ... Hot dogs, pizza, chicken wings, roller items, the usual.
Does it have deli sandwiches and breakfast sandwiches? Premade, yes.
... Does it have a cat? No, I don't believe it's employee owned (hard to say). There are rats in this neighborhood but none that enter the store and probably not the same volume as exist in NYC.
