convenience stores that have their own merch crack me up. for me it's definitely ironic and quasi nostalgia, so buccee's doesn't do it for me.

but like the shitty 7-11 near my parents' house started selling 7-11 tshirts and I told my sister that it was all I wanted for Xmas. some t-shirt that just said 7-11 on it.

if Flying J had tshirts I would get one of those too. there's something so absurd about a T-shirt that just has a corporate logo for a place most people only begrudgingly patronize because our communities were built stupid.
