Inconvenience Store

You ever been to an inconvenience store? Most people try to avoid them at all costs. The inconvenient location of such a store is the first major deterrent from broad public appeal. One may be located behind an abandoned warehouse or maybe one-hundred miles from the nearest gas station. Only on the rare occasion that all of the conveniently located stores are simultaneously closed does an inconvenience store seem like a more viable option.

An authentic inconvenience store boasts horrible parking, or maybe no parking at all. One of the most inconvenient stores I've ever been to was perched on an island surrounded by a river of rushing water. The only way to reach the inconvenience store is to hire an experienced rafting guide to propel you across the river, while counteracting the dangerously strong current. If you are able to make it to the island, the next dilemma involves determining how to enter the store. With no marked entrance, you may end up entering through the back warehouse. If you're not careful, you may run into some of the seedy employees that meticulously work at stocking the inconvenience store.

If you've gone to all this trouble to get to the store, you probably have a very specific list of grocery items to pick up. Well good luck with that. At any decent inconvenience store, you wil only find the most useless, overpriced collection of items. Half eaten cookies? Twenty-seven dollars a pound. A sack of rusty nails? Fifty bucks and your left shoe. The customer demographic mainly consists of hoarders and the insanely adventurous type.

Looking for this week's coupons? It's going to cost you. The inconvenience store coupons are hand printed on the finest Egyptian papyrus. The only way to retrieve them is to visit the little canvas hut somewhere along the west bank of the Nile River. Happy shopping.
