The corner store

About a stone's throw from my apartment is a little corner store where you can quickly buy food etc if you need it in a hurry, because the supermarkets are about a 4 minute walk up a gigantic hill. The TV is always turned on to soap operas and there is always a little tea pot boiling with tea and someone is usually smoking, even though smoking is now forbidden in inside places. Sometimes it's just 2 kids at the cash register, in charge of the store. They know me because I go often and I can never speak to them/my accent is obviously foreign. I went yesterday to pick up some breakfast things but I didn't have any cash, so I was going to use my credit card. The woman didn't know how to work it, so she just told me to pay her later! I bought a lot of stuff, about $7, which is a lot to spend at that store. I appreciate the trust they have in me, even though I am foreign, and I can't really communicate with them. I finally have some cash, so I better go pay her now before they lose that trust!
