  • Store Brand...What?

    Lady comes in, she's older, asks what our cheapest cigarettes are. I tell her *Brand 1* or *Brand 2* They're the same price. Some people "can't smoke" *Brand 1*so they try out *Brand 2* because they've never heard of it before.

    She proceeds to blurt this out like it's the most obvious thing in the world and I'm STILL trying to wrap my head around it.

    "What's your store brand cigarettes?"

    ......What?

    "What's [Convenience Store Name]'s cigarettes?"

    To which I reply, "I'm not sure what you're asking for, our cheapest brands are *Brand 1* and *Brand 2.*

    In the end she got *Brand 1*

    I understand that we have our own brand of tea, milk, eggs, blah blah blah, but that's because we have a Dairy. So does [Other C-Store Named After a Thanksgiving Dinner on a Knoll] but to my knowledge there is no C-Store chain around here who has the licensing or the resources to make its own brand of cigarettes. Whiskey...Tango...Foxtrot?

    There was/is a c-store in my hometown that used to carry cigarette brands named "More Cigarettes" "Smokin' Cigarettes" and a no-name brand style yellow & black packaging brand labeled only "Cigarettes"

    My Buddy C used to walk in and say "I need some cigarettes, some more cigarettes, and some smokin cigarettes," because he found it amusing to have to point out those brands and explain what he meant.

          A friend's mom used to smoke the store brand cigarettes from some discount grocery store in her town. They came in a plain yellow box and staaaaaank to high heaven. Even more than cigs usually do.
