Americans have so little culture for themselves they have to make even something as common and ubiquitous as a corner shop, all about them.

All this yapping and not a single one of you geniuses figured out the real difference of a bodega. You can get loosies. Single cigarettes and buy beer in single cans/past legal hours.

So what you’re missing is that the defining features of a bodega aren’t offered to foreigners like you because you aren’t part of the culture.

You ain't special.
