Do I want a Vogue?

There is a convience store right down the street, and I went in one day to grab a Dr. Pepper and went up to the counter.

...then it happened.

I had no where to put my drink on the counter. It was full of magazines, yelling "buy me, buy me!" It was interesting to me because this would not happen in the U.S. People would be so mad if they had no where to put the money. Its funny because one thing I've noticed about the way the English give back change, is they hand it to you. In Texas, many of times people put change on the counter and expect me to pick it up. Ugh. Thats so annoying. But at this place, theres no where to do that, which is nice, but it also forces me to wonder if I do want that Vogue.

Its a great tactic, but I highly doubt it would fly in the U.S.
