Exxon Tiger Mart

I initially started coming here because they have Newport shorts for sale: two packs with a discount. And several times a month they have 50 cents off packs with the two pack discount. I don’t even smoke Newport’s anymore but I still come in here everyday because this place is clean, stocked, has very friendly employees, and I always get out of there quickly.
They have many healthy snack choices.
No money orders though.

Consistently less busy and usually cheaper than the Tiger Mart at 183 and Burnet. Otherwise, it’s the standard Exxon convenience store.

Sometimes I just need some fluid.
Gas. Water. Gatorade. What have you…
The employees are BOSS. The lines are a FAUX ENDEAVOR.
Sometimes the line at the counter is so long that I begin to feel helplessly depraved.
FOR THE LOVE OF MUNG.
Nice selection of protein bars.
All the regs in the candy bar department.
COULDN’T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.

Why oh why do I keep wasting my money here?
I can make my own coffee. There is nothing special about this gas station’s coffee (although it is better than what I make at home).
I shouldn’t drink another Diet Coke and for some reason this place is always out of it anyway so I have to get Diet Dr. Pepper.
A breakast sandwich sounds good. The egg and meat and biscuit should fill me up so I can eat a light lunch right? Darn it, why are the biscuit edges always hard?
Oooh, how about a donut? Can’t go wrong with a Krispy Kreme can you? Oh, now I feel sick just eating all that sugar.
Will I ever learn? Probably not. And in the meantime I will continue to give this place my money a couple mornings a week.
But maybe someone else will learn from my mistakes?
