Rural One-Stop Shopping, West Ireland
Many anthropological details to ponder: The proprietor lives 'above the shop' complete with a convenience store, a lounge bar, and fuel. Look closely, and you'll see a notice on the door that they only accept cash. A sign advertising a long-past tractor show, and the HB ice cream logos taped to the windows. The pumps look like they date from the 70s or 80s, and have been hit by cars, trucks, and tractors so many times they're barely standing. Packing tape holds the pump exteriors together -- to a point. Surprisingly, the diesel pump still appears to work, with the lights on and current pricing. I've never seen a customer's car here, yet the place seems well maintained outside of the wonky fuel pumps and outdoor light.
