Ok, what's the deal with the All Star Bodega on Underhill / Prospect?

Fer cryin' out loud I have more beer in my fridge!

Also, they have two employees, one guy behind the counter and the other that hangs out on the corner. I'm no MBA, but I don't know how they make their money.

Should I state the first thing that comes into my head?

naaaaah.

I've bought butter and dog food there. When you say you have more beer, do you mean "civilized" beer, I'm sure they have a great 40oz selection.

What do you think they're selling? Do you know if they deliver?

quig

No, I mean half of the fridges are usually empty.

It's sad when you can't even get a sixer together.

For all I know they may be on their last legs.

It's definitely shady. I used to go there occassionally for a scratch-n-win lottery ticket, but they don't seem to have the full selection, which seems really odd to me. There do seem to be a lot of people who go there to play lotto. I'm not sure how well being a lotto dealer pays.

My favorite thing in there are those shady coconut candies at the counter. I am probably risking my life eating one but who cares.....

I don't think they do the lottery anymore.

The best is when you try and pay with a $20.00, the guy behind the counter goes wild. Try and bring singles!

quig-

Now no one enjoys a good 40 or double-deuce more than me, but that second part, that's just wrong... :roll:

I'm shocked. Shocked! :shock:

Definitely sketchville. We once bought an onion there (cooking on Sunday, Met was closed, etc.) and it was rotten. My husband actually took it back to the bodega to complain :P and they seemed pretty blase about it. I don't think that selling food is their primary business.
