- You buy a cup of tea at a gas station.
- You get in line—not on line—to pay for your tea. (Although if you own a smartphone, you could be online in line. Wouldn’t it sound silly to be online on line?)
- The guy in line next to you at the gas station announces he’s having blueberry coffee and a burger . . . for breakfast.
- The friend of the guy in line next to you helpfully points out, “She’s having tea! That girl’s having tea,” and the burger-for-breakfast guy then turns to you and asks if you like tea.
A New Yorker would have actively ignored you...and his retarded friend. Then again, in New York you wouldn’t be buying tea at a gas station, and you would have been getting on line to pay for it. Nevertheless, whether you’re on the PA turnpike or in a NYC coffee shop, you'll still let your dad pay for the tea—but only if he offers, of course.

Oh goodness. A blueberry coffee sounds like a hellish abomination against both coffee and blueberries. Somehow I think I'd act like the retard or his friend....and a burger for breakfast is an unremarkable thing in my world.
i like blueberry bagels
In NYC I don't think I'd buy anything at a gas station, even gas. If I did, I'm not sure why it wouldn't include a cup of tea.
In nYC you'd have to have a car to buy gas at a gas station, and even when I was driving there to visit I went out of my way not to fill in the city.
just reading your entry makes me miss the corner stores...and being able to walk places *sigh*
