New Yorkers will spend hours talking about how unique and special bodegas like other cities dont have grocery stores

well, i watched some mormon missionaries speak about their missionary experience in the totally exotic culture of uh… new zealand. and they were just absolutely in love with the idea of a small grocery store on the corner, in walking distance. just in awe at this eldritch cultural practice. they’d never encountered anything like it (i guess they came from utah?)

so… uh… y’know.
