You can no longer buy a cup of coffee at a convenience store.

I often go to a nearby gas station to buy a cup of coffee on my way to the dog park. When its cold out it keeps me warm. Tonight when I stopped by I was told that there is nothing self-serve for now. No coffee, no donuts, no food.

Three days ago the rule was that you couldn't bring in your own cup.

It makes sense, but it is also a reminder of how the simplest, most taken-for-granted things have completely changed.

1. My 7-11 is still selling coffee and food

they have the coffee pots behind the counter and they pour it for you.

2. I was in 7-1 an hour ago and they...

do not let you bring your own cup any more.

This came down from corporte, so no one knows why, but it seems to me that my personal cup is safer than the cardboard ones everyone is pawing over.

But, so it goes.

3. There is less driving so less pollution. So there is that....

4. Maybe because so many people handle the coffee pot handle?

I hope mine doesn't do that.

7. Well the store I go to doesn't have pots, just a spigot.

But I guess a lot of people touch that too.

6. Well, you can in NC.

Along with all the icky food they sell.

8. Oh the horror, the horror!

9. Kind of reminds me if how "A Handmaid's Tale" depicted the

start of Gilead.
