I visit a convenience store once or twice a year, usually when travelling, can't imagine why I would go in one any more frequently. I have never been inside a QT although I buy gas there all the time. Humorous to hear people debate about which is the worse place to buy their tub of pop.

A tub of pop are those refill, handled containers that hold over 44 ounces.

I can't stand Circle K's. The lines are forever long. At least they don't smell like pickles and diapers like 7-eleven.

I really wonder why there are so many teenagers and cars at Phoenix's Circle K store? It looked really crowded around a Circle K store. What are they doing there? Is there any special thing at Phoenix Circle K?
Circle K is Arizona's version of a mini Publix in Florida.

Is it just me, or do others think that some gas station names take on a sexual tone/innuendo?

For instance:
Kum & Go (Iowa and neighboring states) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kum_%26_Go
Loves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love%2...Country_Stores
Marathon Oil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_Oil
Pump & Munch (country wide)
Loaf 'n Jug https://www.loafnjug.com/storeLocator
Sheetz (PA and out East) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheetz
Cutting Gas C...776 Gas Prices - Find Cheap Gas Prices in C...776, California
Circle K (AZ) (to a lesser degree).
Pump and Pantry (NE and cross country) Pump N Pantry - Home

It could get even more risqué if these stations decided to merge. I'm just sayin'.

Don't forget:


WaWa (Northeast/East)
Tank 'n' Tummy (Midwest)
Flash Market (AR, Flash Market Inc | Flash Oil Company of Arkansas )
Wag-A-Bag (Oklahoma... "bag", is that what they're calling it now?)


And for urologists or people selling fiber supplements, there's EZ-Go (OK/TX/KS)

I am willing to bet you've never been to south Phoenix?? It is neither clean or beautiful. Just saying...
The people in Ahwatukee probably think their 'hood's good and it's REALLY south Phoenix.
