The funny part is that we often go into the store anyways to buy coffee, snacks, alcohol, energy drinks, ammo, etc.
Allegedly we don’t do pump and pay because people just drive off without paying. We are also very lazy, fat, and impatient; so walking 50m and most likely waiting in line behind people buying lotto tickets really isn’t freedom.
ngl the fact you can buy alcohol and ammunition at the gas station over there is making me jealous af. We legally have to have entire separate stores for those things, no exaggeration.
I was totally joking about the ammunition, for most places.
There are general stores in small towns that do sell ammunition and gas, but that isn’t the norm. Usually small town hardware stores sell the ammo.
The nearest gas station to me does sell hard liquor and beer or wine. The beer and wine are typical cheap stuff with a few middle-tier beers or similar low ABV. Some do have big walk-in beer refrigerators. The hard liquor is a fairly good selection.
If you want to see the most American gas station ever, look into Buc-ee’s(Pronounced Bucky’s, or Bussy’s if you’re fun). There are videos of what you find there on YouTube and some pictures or videos on Google maps. Buc-ee’s is mostly in Texas.
I’m never sure when it comes to America, but I’d love to move there. Like us Aussies with dropbears and Americans, I was totally convinced by your post haha.
I’ve always wanted to visit a Bucky’s! We’ve got nothing like it here, so it’d be a genuine experience.
