A bodega guy saving NYC from a mass shooter makes more sense than anything I’ve heard in the past 2 years.

Walked into the bodega and asked if they sold butter. “Sorry, no,” but then a pause, “How much do you need? Just cooking dinner?”

Love you, New York City. pic.twitter.com/NEdg11zqF94. Store Owners Are The Real Heroes
Last night a guy followed me into a bodega. When I told him to leave me alone, he said that I couldn’t stay in the store all night. Then the store owner told him to leave, he didn’t, the owner hopped over the counter with a lock and they fought in the street. Bodegas forever.

Anyone who knows a single thing about NYC already could have told you it’s the bodega guys who keep us safe.

I am over 30, pls stop pretending to like me..I know when someone likes me. My bodega guy never smiles but puts extra cream cheese on my bagel & doesn’t charge me extra. Slides Swedish Fish in my bag for no reason. Doesn’t laugh at any of my jokes. I know when someone likes me.
