Mac’s Convenience Stores

I am the crazy girl who decided to get a Slurpie in winter. I had a lot of odd looks at the bus stop as I drank my triple layer of rainbow awesomeness in hopes of going into a sugar coma faster than the fat kid in Willy Wonka. At least my drink remained cold: P Guy at the til looked at me odd. Not sure if it was ’cause of the cat ears of the fact that I had a large cold Slurpie at the til. So while everyone else is eating chocolates for X-mas…I do liquid colored sugar.

We are regulars at mac, we like to stop in every few days while out walking the dogs. The owner of this mac is the sweetest man ever. If you take the time to get to know your neighbours mt. pleasant you’d be surprised. Maroof (sp?) greets us with a smile on his face and we exchange our stories of the day.
We go mainly for the cheap ass coffee, our dogs are welcome to come in and sit at the door because they are so well behaved (for big dogs)
Mac is part of our community and I am glad I have taken the time to get to know these guys.

I came to this Macs because I live pretty close by and was looking to buy a 1 month bus pass. I asked the man working there if there were student rates (I am very new to Vancouver) and he promptly replied with «I do not believe you are a student.»
I was so appalled with this customer service that I didn’t even bother showing him my student card and just left. I hope to never find myself here again.

Less than one star… Less that 10 words. Fail Macs.

Not bad, even offers Seattle’s Best Coffee.
good size parking lot.
It is safe here after all.

Oh Scam backwards, you are so inconvenient and rarely have the things I’m actually looking for!
I say that yes, you do have the usual and are on par with stores like you, I just wish you’d bring in some tonic (what the hell do you expect me to mix all this gin with!!! Fuck juice, I’m not quite at the same point of mix desperation as Snoop Dog.) Also, you need soda. My drinking friends would like soda. I know I’m not the only one around here looking for things to mix alcohol with. I am willing to bet at least 30% of your clientele are looking for things to mix alcohol with. 20% are likely looking for something to munch on between bong hits, 10% are stealing from you, and the rest want cigarettes or are with people who want cigarettes and have decided they may want an energy drink while they’re there. Or they want small grocery items. Like soy milk. I would also really appreciate some soy milk. Cow excretion is kind of gross, and alternatives are growing in popularity. Main and Commercial is creeping in towards Fraser so get with the times and GET SOME SOY MILK ALREADY. How do you have like TWENTY different kinds of beef jerky, every damned milk percentage, but no freaking soy milk? Fraser isn’t just for druggies and the emergency shelter anymore (though I love them and am happy to share the ‘hood with them. We all know I’m probably two steps away anyways — and not just literally off my balcony door.)
But really, I like you guys. You’re nice, friendly and don’t make fun of me when I’m there drunk at 2am (I think,) but please keep up. Soy milk and mix. (Good work with the fruit for sale though!)
