I mean, I haven’t set foot in an AMPM in decades so I couldn’t possibly say. I am grateful I could walk to KwikTrip and get a pound of butter on Sunday night.
KwikTrip is convenience store on steroids. 7-11 is convenience store on meth. AMPM is ok. Sadly, the one on my block is 7-11. But a BigBite dog for $3 is nothing to sneeze at.
No AI: I assume everything else outside a metro area is shitty and I haven't been proved wrong. I pack what I need for my sustenance in a cooler and only stop for bio breaks, ice and gas.
My neighbor who has a Very Important Job that actively being decimated right now uses AI constantly for everything from gardening to helping sort her research. I’m a little freaked out.
Hot dogs are usually 160 degrees but shit is at most 98, so the gas station must be on fire! Human: no that is incorrect! ai: sorry on reflection shit is 160 degrees
ummm... gas station hot dogs are amazing. When i was in college the gas station on the corner from my apartment offered 4 hot dogs for $5. needless to say, i dined there frequently.
When I was in college, there was a little hole in the wall bar down the road just off campus, and they sold a deep-fried hot dog with a cold can of Coke for $1.00 on weekdays. Those hot dogs were manna to this broke student.
In summer of 1968, living on Martha's Vineyard working in a hotel laundry in Edgartown, ate a 35 cent hot dog for dinner every day (supplemented by dinners bought for me by folks who picked me up hitchhiking wanting wanted to hear stories about growing up in Butte, MT).
