Non Pharmacy Bean Locations
Trying to diversify my bean spend and was curious on reports of other bean vendors which accept credit. The bean webpage has all sorts of locations but here in the New England corridor seems like only a few gas stations are in play. Anyone successfully buy beans at gas stations or anywhere else?

Here's my thinking -- as soon as the medicine gets shut down (and it certainly will), the locations that you're asking about are (which have far less capacity than Charlie Victor Sierra) are going to be in high demand and short supply. My recommendation is to do your own research and keep quiet about it -- we don't need more broadcasts.

I think this is highly dependent on what part of the country you're in. I know I've seen reports of a few non-pharmacy outlets for beans in other parts of the country, but none of those outlets exist within 800 miles of me. I've spent more than a little time looking for functioning bean outlets here and turned up none whatsoever.
I do think it's worth doing your own research, so I make it a habit of exploring odd-ball stores and checking out their racks when I'm out and about. Results have not been terribly fruitful, but I have come across a couple small, mildly interesting items. Nothing to get real excited about though.
Still, the pursuit is what makes the hunt interesting.

And I like the part of the country you are in...my CVS's are starting to dry up a little bit, time for a little road trip around the area tonight for some testing.

I plan on it .. but whats the harm in asking if someone has had an experience with a certain store. I guess cvs is the only store that is acceptable to be talked about
