With 7-11 converting a dozen or so stores into Kwik-e-Marts in anticipating
of the upcoming Simpson's Movie (need
the spoiler?), I figure I had a few options for places to drive: Seattle,
Burbank, or Mountain View. Given two were 10+ hours away and the third
only a few hours, I opted for Mountain View.
Well, it sure *looks* like a Kwik-e-Mart on the outside, but never
judge a store by the wrapper.
Inside, I first set my eyes -- then my feet -- on a big stack of
Buzz Cola... then bought two 6-packs.
Mmmm, pink donuts. But more importantly, yes, that guy in the back
is pointing rudely at me.
Squishees! They were out of the Simpsons cups, fortunately, I got
mine elsewhere: no harm, no fowl.
The omni-present Apu's marketing with the "Buy 3 for the Price
of 3" mentality. It feels like home...
... and if that wasn't enough, Homer munching on a foot-long over
in the corner would do it.
