The "Corner Liquor Store"

Who shops there? What do you buy? (I understand that many of you do not have such types of store because your state or province knows better.)

There's one on the corner, which I rarely go into. A couple of days ago, wanting some fizzy water, I grabbed a 1.25L bottle of Crystal Geyser - no price marked clearly in the cooler. $2.89. I paid, and left. I've never bought a foodstuff in there, and my usual visit is once every 6 months or so for a lotto ticket. I've never bought any alcohol there, either, although I'm sure some of those wines that get the nice morning sun through the window are delicious. Occasionally, a house guest will run to the corner for some beer, as we rarely have any in the house.

I know that some of these sorts of places might have a nice deli counter and make good sandwiches. Not the case here.

So, do you shop at the corner liquor store?
