Imagine what we will lose when all cars become electric and everyone charges at home.
@zaitcev There's a place here that's basically a gas station convenience store, but with no gas pumps. It manages to survive year after year because of its rather central location at least. We have a few other gas stations that I will go to even if I don't need gas just to get their snacks and coffee.
@kazriko There's a gas station nearby which people use as a grocery store, which is literally across the street from H-E-B. Mind boggles. Possibly foot traffic from apartments nearby.
@zaitcev I wouldn't buy groceries from it unless I had to, but the grocery store closes at 11pm and the convenience store is 24/7, so in a pinch I'll get cat food or milk from there. Usually I'm just buying drinks, candy, and snacks instead, things that are at the grocery store, but cost almost the same in individual units, and you only get a price break there at higher unit counts. (the gas station has Monster energy for $5 for 2, but 2 at the grocery store is $6, or $8 for 4.)

@kazriko Indeed, I didn't think about hours of operation. Maybe that has something with it.
