I worked at a gas station when I went to college for a year. It was a full service station, but no convenience store.

Aw, I missed this one, I had a good one.

Japan also had some growing pains to make the Shinkansen happen it went double over budget, as it happens everywhere, and like that once it’s operation people rarely remember the initial budget, it just need to be delivered first. I really do hope I can visit the US and the West Coast and not deal with the nightmare…
