Weird corner shops

TomNick [Edit] [Delete] 12:02, 23 February '13

The corner shop near me is very odd. Nothing has a price on it except for a DVD player on top of the drinks cabinet which has a big sticker on it saying 'Was £129 NOW JUST £49'. On the box of the DVD player is an endorsement by Jeremy Beadle and a selection of the DVDs which come with the player, which includes the entire Robocop series.

My flatmate and I tried to buy it once 'for a laugh' but the shop owner told us it wasn't for sale, and in fact was just an empty box which he kept 'for show'.

Any weird corner shops near you? Any corner shop anecdotes and reminiscences? Anyone?
