Adapting from a 7-11/WaWa culture to a Bodega culture.
Things I learned I can find at a 7-11, but not at a Bodega:
Batteries
Dairy Products that aren't Milk i.e. cream cheese, cheese cheese and eggs
1 Liter Bottles of a variety of soda
A wide variety of Ben & Jerry's ice cream more specifically Cookie Dough Ice cream.
Creepy suggestions of co habitation from the 50 year old clerk who apparently is tired of commuting from Paterson to Rutherford.
A Big Gulp
Largish Bags of Potato Chips
Overcooked sausage based monstrositys that remind me that I am still alive.
Things I learned I could get from a Bodega but not a 7-11:
(Image Stolen from google because I felt weird about standing in front of the bodega with a camera, but this is what it looks like.)
A wider selection of Beer than at the full on supermarket 4 blocks further down the street, and quite possibly more than most supermarkets I've been to.
Sodas with labels in languages I can't read.
A half melted pint of Ben & Jerry's Phish food from the freezer in front of the counter, that happened to have been the only pint of Ben & Jerry's available, which I desperately need because my apartment lacks air-conditioning (to be discussed in a future post not so much the lack of it, as other people's reactions to my lack of air-conditioning).
Exposed to the latest in Latin radio.
Looked at funny when I ask if they have cream cheese.
