It's a hot day, you're thirsty, and you stop at the convenience store...

ClubSilencio

What drink are you grabbing?

I always have a bottle of water in my car, so if I want something "special" it is likely going to be a diet (or plain unsweetened) ice tea. Sometimes I'll go all out and get a SOBE 0 calorie drink. If I'm at Costco, it's either water or the low cal "lemonade." I gave up sodas a few years ago, so that is no longer an option.

If I'm thirsty? Water.

vegmebuff

If they have a cold San Pellegrino in that fridge - that would be great - or any other sparkling/soda-type water with lime or whatever.

I refill my water bottle from their sink....

Being that vagrants and probably crackheads generally frequent these places I'm going to say yuck to this one.

haha - so true!
And you can also tell much about an establishment by virtue of what they sell in the restroom vending machines - OUCH - and I'm still stealing their water!

I would probably shoplift a water rather than use their sink if that's the case

To answer OP: a BOTTLED water and diet Dr. Pepper. And some Slim Jims.

What kind of convenience stores are you going to where you can't just dispense some water from their soda fountain for free?

Soda fountains?

One of these

There is almost always a button or lever to dispense plain water from one. You can see one here right below the lemonade dispenser.

Apparently this is very important to you

She had a question and I clarified. Thought it was polite to answer her question and might be helpful to someone who, like you, thinks that the soda always comes out premixed. Just in case you're ever in an awkward financial position, need some water, and thought you'd actually shoplift instead of just "joking" about it.

Mkay. Hope your day gets better

JenSD6

Why pay for overpriced items at a convenience store? I'll be over at McDonald's for $1 drink days, sucking back the biggest Coke Zero they have.

I wouldn't assume the store had a soda fountain. That's actually how I interpreted "soda fountain?" but maybe you are right and she didn't recognize the US term for it. I don't know what they are called elsewhere.

Even in a 7-11 with one I wouldn't assume I could just go in and use it without buying something. If I have a bottle with me I could refill, I'd find a water fountain, as I know where the outdoor ones are around my area. (Or buy a bottle, as is more likely what I'd do if I am in a store already, especially since I don't walk around carrying bottles.)

OneWayOnlyCycles

Water or sugar free iced tea, lots of ice in a big mug I carry with me. Our local convenience store/gas station has fresh fruit, plus a great selection of energy bars.

tehngarth

I should get water, but too often I get a diet soda

lemurcat12

Drinking a peach-pear LaCroix now. Reminds me that I might get something like that. Refreshing.

jmarie1025

Vitamin water zero lemonade

rankinsect

Pepsi Max, unless it's late in the day (I only drink caffeine in the mornings), in which case I'd get something like Sprite Zero / Diet 7up / Diet Sierra Mist.

All legitimate options, and preferable to filling a water bottle in a gas station bathroom or shoplifting.

Lol. Amazing. This still bothering you?

This is at least the second time you've responded to posts of mine where I've been talking to other people.

Cause your talking about a comment I made? And in case you don't know, MFP sends notifications on threads you comment in.

I said to another poster (notyou)that I would rather shoplift water (free)and risk being thrown in jail rather than drink from a sink (free)where a crackhead probably bathed and you seemed to take offense, which is amusing, actually.

I never buy beverages when I'm out, I either take water with me if I know I'll be out for a while, or wait till I get home.

Excellent self control. That's the way it should be.

alpacalypsia

Just water! The bubbles in sparkling water don't sit well with me, and juices/flavored drinks actually tend to make me even thirstier

Yeah, I know what they are ... and I know about the water button ...

But I'm trying to think the last time I saw one of those things in a convenience store.

Oh, and it's called "pop".

mjwarbeck

Either Perrier or Diet Coke.

kristikitter

Smart Water ooorrr a San Pellegrino lemonade. Maybe a Coke Zero if I haven't brought one in my bag.

Thirsty? Water for that, always. Just wanting a drink for an event? Unsweet iced tea if they have brewed tea, or some sort of diet coke.

WATER!!! THE BIGGEST ONE THAT'S COLD

SoDamnHungry

Where's the Slurpee machine??

misdawn

Water

JustMissTracy

A bottle of water, unless I'm also feeling dizzy from the heat, then I'll grab water and an iced tea..the sugar really seems to help.

amymurray12282

It really depends on how I'm feeling....but it'll either be ice water (it HAS to have ice in it, though...it can't just be cold), Sobe Lifewater - Yumberry Pomegranate (if I need a little flavor), or if I need carbonation, Diet Dr Pepper (I know, I know...diet soda is bad...).

ObsidianMist

dr pepper, or vitamin water, or iced tea, or gatorade.... depends on my mood, what's on sale, etc
