As for you, "Seven-Dollar-Minimum-Purchase Bodegas on the Corner of Thompson and West 3rd", it's about time you knew your role. If you don't want my money, fine. There are other bodegas on the same block that will happily accept my business. Stop acting like you're the only game in town. I'm not spending $7 when all I want is a Clif Bar, so why you fronting?
I'd prefer to pick one bodega and be a loyal customer. I like to support the little guy, and CVS and I have a beef at the moment. Just embrace the fact that a good 30-45% of your sales are impulsive, and help us blow our hard-earned cash at your establishment even when we don't have hard-earned cash.
