some do. some either don't or keep them locked away until they close (if they close) or mistreat them so that they hide all the time.

some of them let the cats roam the sidewalk around the store- those are the best/friendliest cats.

some serve them for lunch specials.

I was trying to think of ways in which bodegas are NOT 7/11s... other than the goofy corporate uniforms, slurpees and rotating eternal hotdogs- it's a pretty good equivalent. oh- they usually have a limited deli counter with not great sandwiches, unless it's 5am and you're drunk in which case they make the best sloppy egg, sausage and cheese sandwiches ever.

each one is neighborhood specific in terms of what they sell/stock. some have santeria paraphenalia. some have lots of fancy organic crap. little bit o' everything from hardware to homeware to edibles. all in a tiny, packed space patrolled by a pack of cats.

They are basically the Puero Rican/Dominican version of the Korean grocery.

Before a bunch of people say they have never heard of such a thing, those are small stores that are owned and operated by Korean immigrants, most commonly in New York and Los Angeles.

Those have cats too, but generally in the buffet.

this is what NYC call places to get rough, anonymous gay sex. I haven't been, so I don't know if they have cats. probably bears.

Sure you haven't, scarfie.

Not credible.

[tommyboy]

I just discovered that Plaid Pantry is a Portland based mini-chain.

They have over 100 stores and all of them but something like four are in the Portland metro. There is one near the UW campus. It was the only one I had ever seen until we were in Portland recently.

wait until you discover Dari Mart   https://media.giphy.com/media/EldfH1VJdbrwY/giphy.gif

This is going to blow some of your minds, but it is also not uncommon that people of Northern Indian descent work at (and in many cases own) convenience stores.

not in ORegon.   its all chinese or iranians.   and none of them ring up a sale and they all drive bentleys

 

[RedmondLonghorn]

People from Central and Southern India tend to own and operate small lodging properties.

They are part of the Patel Motel Cartel.

I am sure this will be news to Shuke.

Matt Groening is from Portland and Apu ain't Iranian.

You goons ever see "Taxi Driver"?  The scene where Travis shoots the stick-up guy in the store and then the proprietor beats the corpse with an iron bar?

Recent Eat-Off polls show him declining in the flyover states.

The fact that he now looks like a Russian Submarine Commander probably turns off the pro 'murica voters.  Now's the time for the albino wino who looks like an out of shape Jim Gaffigan to swoop in and seal this thing once and for all.
