Nounconvenience stores
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A convenience store is a small store or shop that sells items such as candy, ice-cream, soft drinks, lottery tickets, newspapers and magazines, along with a selection of processed food and perhaps some groceries. Stores that are part of gas stations may also sell motor oil, windshield washer fluid, radiator fluid, and maps. Often toiletries and other hygiene products are stocked, and some of these stores also offer money orders and wire transfer services or liquor products. They are often located alongside busy roads, in densely-populated urban neighborhoods, at gas/petrol stations or near railway stations or other transportation hubs. In some countries most convenience stores have longer shopping hours, some being open 24 hours, but customers pay for this convenience with higher prices on most goods. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I paid $1.69 for 2 stamps - that's $.845 each when that only cost $.42 at the post office. Is this legal? Asked by Kim M - Mon Jul 21 09:51:18 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Everything else is. Why not stamps? That's a quite a mark-up. The following is from the US Postal Service site... "The U.S. Postal Service has no control over the pricing policy of private entrepreneurs. Since they must pay full price for the stamps they buy for resale, they may, of course, charge a higher price in order to earn a return on their investment of capital and effort. Their prices are, no doubt, established on the basis of their needs and on economic market forces." Answered by michelob86 - Mon Jul 21 09:59:09 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "convenience stores" |
