| - Considering that this place made me laugh tonight, I had to give the old locale a review.
It's a great location for me: Perfect for just about to turn onto the highway. And there is a lesser number of hobos around the front begging you for the various number of things that they do. I didn't say that there were NO hobos, but there are a lesser amount than some of the convenience stores in the area. Even the gas prices aren't completely awful.
The staff is always nice. The one guy I regularly see always tells me that I look like the boyfriend of one of his lady friends. I've never seen a picture, so I can't verify the claim, but the subject invariably comes up every time I come in. Ah, he's a nice guy. So whatever.
Tonight's moment was me buying one of those Arizona lemonades. I walked up, ready to pay, and he asked to see my ID.
"For lemonade", I asked. I hardly ever get carded these days. A can of lemonade is the last thing I'd expect.
He looked surprised. "It is?" Then we looked at each other for a moment, and burst out laughing. "Now I'm wondering if I'm getting more than I was expecting", I said. I guess he's so used to shilling cans of beer, it just seemed like yet another transaction. One has to admire his consistency and thoroughness.
Nice service, good location, less hobos. I don't need a lot, but it works for me.
