On the way back to my campsite, I pulled into Thorton's to get a couple of drinks and some ice for my cooler. The store was fairly crowded and I only saw one employee working. There were a lot of people needing his attention, but he kept his cool and acted very professional. He was also very friendly and had a great attitude. I'm sorry I didn't get his name.
The drink coolers had not been stock lately and there were many empty shelves. There were only a few Coca-Colas left and the only Coke Zeros I saw were bottles of Coke Spice. I don't know about you, but that sounds awful to me. I finally found two regular Coke zeros on the bottom shelf. They were laying in the slot so they were hard to see. I grabbed both of them.
They had a sale on bottles of Gatorade as well. They were the bigger bottles and they were priced at two dollars each if you bought three. I like Gatorade so I bought three green zeros. That's still my favorite.
I do still have a lot of waters in my cooler, but it's nice to have something different once in a while.
I guess I need to go grocery shopping and get some food. I can't really afford to eat out every day.
Thorton's is a pretty good store if you have to stop for road snacks. It's a big building, and they have a lot of stuff. Fountain drinks, coffee, ice cream, those roly grills that cook hotdogs, and some kind of little taquito looking thing. I guess it's a little better than some convenient stores. they do have a lot of stuff to code from.
Oh yeah, before I forget, this store has parking in the back and an entrance in the rear so you can slip in the back door. I don't think I've ever seen a store that you could go in the back way before
OK, I'm back at my campsite and I'm pretty pooped. I don't think I'm going to be up much longer. It's been a long day and I have more appointments tomorrow. read more
