Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Diaclamer: never been to new york or any store that called itself a bodega.
I think its similar to "all bodegas are corner shops but not all corner shops are bodegas". They have unique features that group them closer to eachother than to most other corner stores. But they are still a corner store.
All poodles are dogs but some people just prefer poodles.
Then explain what makes them different from corner shops. Because so far, every characteristic is just a characteristic of a corner shop.
It is like claiming there are a species of poodle that are different from poodles.
The big things are the deli counter and vibe of the place. Things aren't necessarily super over priced like chain convenient stores. They also often also tailor to more specific customers. There is one near me that has shelves of Indian products while another just a block away carries Polish products.
Ah, I see. America has invented "shops".
