Responding to the gas station discussion above -- somebody should create a new app and service where they fill your tank up wherever you park with a roaming gas truck. If you sign up for the program, they can fill up your gas tank overnight in the condo parking garage. They would need to have access to your car and fuel port and your car would ping when the fuel level is low. Probably hasn't happened because of regulations, but seems like a workable business idea if it were allowed. Imagine how much collective time could be saved if you didn't have to bother with gas stations?

Also sounds like a safety liability + the NIMBYs would be all up in arms about speculative spills and exploding fuel trucks.

Thanks everyone! I decided to take a second attempt at it using a better camera.

Oh calm down, we get it you guys on here like shoddy hole in the wall businesses and not chains.

The only alternative to a corporate chain is a shoddy hole in the wall?

When people stop spending their money there, they'll stop building them.

Well, usually the hole in the wall places have way better coffee. And the profits don't go to some faceless suit in Seattle.

Starbucks seems to belie any expectations of what it means to saturate a market. It's nuts. That's not least because--gasp--they actually have half decent stuff, and their locations are generally nice to be in. There's better coffee around, but far worse as well.
