Making the World a Better Place, One Convenience Store at a Time

By: Hokie Stone on September 25, 2011, 6:36 PM | 9 comments

I was driving down 95 through VA and stopped to get gas somewhere near Fredericksburg.  I ran inside to grab some essentials for the rest of the trip ahead: red bull, beef jerky, gatorade, gum (all four road trip food groups.)

I saw a rack full of random gas station quality sports schwag so I went to check it out.  I'm  a sucker for spending $5.95 on a piece of VT paraphenelia I will never use again. 

Most of the stuff on the rack was VT and UVa stuff.  Here's what it looked like when I walked up...

I fixed it...

You're welcome world.

LOL

I love the way you re-arrange the stock....and they wonder why the uva stuff never sells!

This reminds me of something I've noticed. Have any of you ever noticed any UVA items for sale in Blacksburg? I don't recall ever seeing any (not that I would buy them, of course). However, go in any self-respecting retail outlet here in Charlottesville (ok, probably not on the corner), and there will be a display of items bearing both Tech and the lowly hoos colors. It gives me a warm feeling whenever I think about that.

Take the shortest route to the ball and arrive in bad humor.

Fburg was always full of UVA regalia.
I don't miss it!

This.

I do a little rearranging every time I see Tech and UVa stuff sold together. Every time I go to Target with MRSTKP I go through the clothing section and put Tech shirts infront of the Virginia ones on all the racks. So this effort is close to my heart, well done Sir.

Hahaha!! I do the same thing......

Anytime I see VT and Hoo gear displayed, I always 'hide' the Hoo stuff. Glad to hear that I am not the only one doing this! :)

Ill admittedly say I havent been this ingenious before so much respek. Anytime however to snub a hoo is hilarious. Good Work.

Excellent work

I did the same thing on Saturday night in the Blacksburg Wal-Mart...went through and covered all of the UVA hats, WVU shirts and tried to bury the Dallas Cowboys pillow pets.

This is just a reminder of how I can do a better job supporting the Hokies. I promise to do better in the future on things like this...Haha
