Best convenience store

A necessity of American life, but I just never feel good, fulfilled or clean walking out of a convenience store.

If you buy gas, you are annoyed with the price of fuel. If you buy food it's likely not to be anything healthy or nutritious. If you buy a tobacco product you are thinking that you should quite.

Simply put, convenience stores are a depressing slice of America.

 

That's not a bad take on it, to be honest.

My wife points out that the coffee's pretty good.

 

Also Wichita, Dallas-Fort Worth, OKC and Springfield, Mo. Maybe Topeka, though I haven't been there as much.

My first experience with QT was a store in Fort Scott, Kansas, in the mid 1980s. That town also had a 7-11 at the time. Now, neither chain would dare have a store in a town that small. 7-11 isn't even in Wichita, having surrendered to QT and selling its stores to Kum & Go.

 

And Omaha.

 

I am surrounded by Kangaroo stations (they snapped up a bunch of smaller chains, and I forget the name of the one here.) Not that impressive to me. I just hate that they bought out Golden Gallon, which used to have a little device that moved whenever you opened the dairy case.

Also, Weigels in Knoxville is the tits.

 

Mooed not moved. Stupid autocorrect. Stupid can't edit posts on this phone.

 

Columbia, Mo. has one. Cedar Rapids used to, but it closed.

Yeah. I kinda like QT just a little bit.

 

So, we all agree that Rutter's, in York County, Pa., and surrounding areas, is the best convenience store in America?

 

My vote is for QT: 49-cent fountain drinks + crushed ice + cheapest gas + huge selection = win.

 

Is it a requirement in Cedar Rapids that convenience store workers must be over 300 LBS.
If not it sure seems that way.

 

In 20 years Presidential candidates will be bragging that their grandfather worked at a convenience store.

 

No-go in Springfield, Mo, anymore. All got bought out by Casey's.
