LETTER:C-Store fails to be truly convenient
November 22, 2002
The C-Store. It is a convenient place for students to go and buy late night snacks and other “healthy” food. I enjoy the C-Store. But as of recently I think that the C-Store is horrible. It was about 10:55 p.m. and my friend and I all of the sudden became hungry. We didn’t have any money, so we decided that we should go to the C-Store. But, as soon as we got there the door was shut. It wasn’t 11 yet.
Why would they be closed? There were people inside looking around. The sign still said they were open, but the door was locked. All I really wanted to get was a box of Mike and Ike’s. That’s all. But no, they wouldn’t let us in and my friend and I tried to go to sleep while listening to our stomachs rumble.
The point of bringing this up is to say that I think the C-Store should be open later than 11:00 at night, or they shouldn’t be allowed to close early. I used to work at a place where the store would get fined if you closed five minutes early, and I think the C-Store should too.
