No cat, no bags of ice, no limes, no beer and no deli sandwiches - calling this vending machine "Bodega" when it doesn't have the staples of a bodega is offensive to my new york sensibilities.

And the owners don't robbed at gunpoint every few months.

Sorry, a high school friend's family owned a bodega in Bushwick before it was "gentrified." That's the main thing I remember about their business.
