Hi, everyone! today we gonna be talking about ammerican culture.

Specificaly, we gonna talk about convenience stores.

Convenience stores are small retail shops, they sell wide for area goods. They sell everything from food and drinkings

to snacks, accessories, car maintenance tools

The United States has over 150,000 convenience stores around the country.

This means gas stations typically open for long period of time.

this makes very convenient for late night drivers.

Convenience stores in U.S. might be little bit different

Typically convenience stores are paired with gasoline stands.

So it's pretty weird to find convenience stores

that doesn't have gas popup attached, because of this,

convenience stores typically are found in the major highways or

It's really uncommon to see the convenience stores in your neighborhood or

on the small alleys and so on. So, for this reason, it's pretty uncommon to see people walking to visit the convenience store.

The best way to get to the convenience stores is actually to drive there.

The main sources of revenue for most of the convenience stores

96% of total revenue for most convenience stores in the United States

come from gasoline sales. For the rest of

revenue comes from sales goods inside of the stores.

Let's take a look some of the foods you can expect to find in a

typical American convenience store. First of all,

you can find a huge selection of snacks, foods,

and various drinks. People spend about 25 million dollars

in 2017 on food inside convenience stores.

But most of the food you find in the convenience stores,

it isn't that nutritious. It's typically stuff

easy to eat while you're driving, and salads aren`t so easy

But a bag of potato chips and energy drinks

are pretty convenient for late night drivers. Well, they might not be

the healthy option, they are pretty tasty from time to time.

Some classic American convenience store foods

what you can always find Slim Jim sausages,

bags of potato chips and any candy bar you might want

only in the convenience stores in America.

This includes local favorites like boiled peanuts in a ??? parts of America

Each stores also has its own special  tea items

7-11 has its famous cold drinks called the Slurpee

and the chain WoaWoa is known for its coffee.

Well, hot foods are available in the convenience stores in the USA,

It's pretty common to find selection of hot dogs or microwave sandwiches

that customers heat it up themselves and eat it on the go.

But the problem with these is most of the items are

not actually fresh and they've been sitting under heat land all day,

so they might not have the best flavor and

as most of the thing sold inside of convenience store are taken along with you as you drive.

There are other section you can expect to find them

in American convenience stores. These includes car supplies,

accessories, a lot of cards, and the ice cream freezer.

Convenience stores in America accept cash and credit cards

take your credit card payment if you want to go inside

of the convenience stores to make your payment, however, you need to tell

the clerk of the convenience store the number of your pump

means you'd like to pay 20 dollars for the gasoline at pump number 4.

so you can use cash to do this or you can use credit card.
