Bodegas are literally just gas stations without the gas, IDK why NYC thinks they're the only city in America where you can go to a convenience store at 2 a.m

Also the thing where they'll talk about how "diverse" the staff at Bodegas are and how that makes them special, as if every 7/11 outside the North East is exclusively staffed by white coal miners.

Brooklyn delenda est

                    Anyone who's truly worried about their impact on "the hood" just shouldn't be moving there in the first place! Conducting yourself in some special way doesn't make the rent go down, and it's just undignified for everyone involved.

                    You can bypass things by "knowing someone" literally everywhere if you have social relationships. Giving "Papi" the "nod" just makes you look like some asshole who talks about "Dis thing of ow-uz" to a pizza waiter.
