Admit it. We all love our convenience stores. 7-Eleven. Circle K. AM-PM. Mac's.

I hit a bit of the big American ones with that list. I threw in one Canadian one. They were offering leeches last time I went to one and it was weird.

Question is... what is your go to order at a convenience store? Is there anything about your's that sucks a butt? Is there anything that owns? Tell us everything!

(I hope HugeGrossBurrito is fine with this)

For a short while I would buy wine or rum flavoured prime time cigarillos from Mac’s because I was a huge loser and thought my neighbour who smoked out on the common porch was cute and that I could meet her if I too had something to smoke and I didn’t smoke cigs. A powerful and sad look in2 my life.

I used to have a 7-11 that was right on my way back home from running on the beach, so I'd stop in there and get a big gulp of powerade and a cream cheese taquito.

I was big on the powerade big gulps for a while after I worked at an amusement park last year. They work well with cheap vodka.

Used to live right next to a 7-Eleven that had these "bourbon smoked" chicken wings that were super tasty and hella cheap. That was good.

Before the big chain around here absorbed them, Hess used to have :krad: Christmas toy trucks. You could light up all the lights and inside the trailer there was a helicopter and a motorcycle with their own batteries/lights. Those no longer exist.

My real lament as an adult is that those former Hess stations no longer have their incredibly greasy breakfast pizza. It had egg, cheese, and crumbled bacon on top, and each slice was like 3 slices worth of bacon. Powerful hangover cure.

Before the plague times, I would cheat instead of paying for nachos. I used to get a bag of Santitas tortilla chips ($2.00 ONLY!) and then would fill a small coffee cup with nacho cheese, chili, chopped onions, and pickled jalapeno slices from the roller grill. Big bag of chips and like 3 cups of complete nacho topping for the price of one "nachos" hot food item.

On the rare occasion I got a donut, I would also use a small coffee cup but fill it with whole milk from the coffee creamer dispenser. Cheaper than buying a single serve milk from the fridge.

Quicktrip is the Cadillac of convenience stores in its geographic area. Sure it has a good selection and a decent kitchen, but the real reason to always choose quicktrip is they have the cleanest bathrooms bar none.

Around here's it's Sheetz. They have a pretty good soda fountain, ice cream machines, slushies, good kitchen, clean bathrooms. They also have free air for tires which is handy.

I don't know if it's some roving gang of luddite anarchists, but every single free air pump within 5 miles of my house has been vandalized in the last 2 years. Not shut off by the owner. Like they ripped the metal tip that connects to your tire off the hose. Or the hose was cut in half and the loose end was hanging out on the curb. Or the machine was visibly dented by many blows and no longer powers on. There was one that looked like a car hit it, so I can't really say whether it was malicious or not.

After trying to get free air at like 3 different stations last year, I went to the next closest gas station where you have to pay. Someone had jammed 3 quarters at the same time into the pay hole, and hammered it in or something. It was bent.

WHO IS PAYING THE TIRE PUMP GANGS TO RAVAGE MY HOMETOWN? WHAT DO THEY GAIN FROM DESTROYING FREE AND PAY PUMPS???

We have a fried chicken franchise here called Krispy Krunchy Chicken whose main claim to fame is to sell inside small convenient stores and gas stations. Not Popeye's tier, but they work for the craving.


Back when I was a huge soda drinker, those places that sell those giant rear end 64+ oz fountain drinks for less than a buck were my go to for my soda addiction.

only one convenient enough to bother with is a Circle K by my office. they have egg rolls on the roller that claim to only be 120 calories and aren't half bad

beyond that the pizza is surprisingly tasty. very doughy but generally just really good flavor and they always have pepp/jalapeno or sausage/jalapeno out


their hot dog buns are always rock solid stale though so i don't bother, otherwise i'd grab some of those on occasion

Is that in a Dodge's by chance? Because Juicy J raps about it in a song called "Pulled Up."

I eat those Tornado things sometimes. And I used to eat this stuff called Dandee’s chicken sandwich and whatever made in Jacksonville but I got a bad one once and haven’t had it sense. I don’t have a favorite place but usually I go to the Kangaroo.

What I understand is that if you’re eating gas station food your best option is Sheetz followed by Wawa. I haven’t been to either, Sheetz because they don’t have any in Florida, and Wawa because there are none convenient to my commutes.

When I was a kid I startled my dad while he was stirring leftover spaghetti in a big container and he flung some of it onto the ceiling. He ate it off the ceiling after. Anyway maybe Juicy J was scared by something. Or went over a speed bump.

Hi. I have two hot dog rollers, a popcorn machine, a sno-cone machine and a fountain drink dispenser. My Dad has dementia and his favorite place to hang out was the local Circle-K and he can't do that anymore so I brought the Circle-K to him. The hot dog roller has hot dogs and eggrolls on it everyday at lunch.

You guys need to go to a Bucees. The top tier gas station with the best, cleanest, nicest bathrooms. The big one near me has the best burritos in town.

There's never been more than a handful. There are 48 locations. I worked for the company when there were 3 of them. If they're closing locations I would be surprised. Whole beaver cults exist because of Bucees.

Beaver Cult. A real club that exists in Texas to worship a gas station company.
