A mild argument broke out between a bouncer and a 7-Eleven cashier. It was too early, the bouncer protested, gesturing to the clock. It opens at eight, he said. The cashier, meanwhile, pointed out that a couple had just come in. The bouncer relents and opens the door to a storeroom. A part of you wonders, as you file past the shelves of instant noodles and ketchup bottles why people would fight to get in here, but you know what you came for: a bar.
