Not all Slurpee runs are all they are cracked up to be

Some of you will understand the greatness of the slurpee run. What better way to spend a little time and money than running to a 24 hour story and buying a bunch of almost liquid frozen sugar. In fact there is almost nothing that can go wrong with a surpee run, WRONG. So i fell like a slurpee run, i strap on my rollerblades, but on a sweater (it was a chilly 2 degrees C on dec 3) and grap my coupon for a free slurpee, which makes a slurpee run better cuz you dont have to try to justify the money. I look at my wallet and think, nah, ive got my coupon, i wont need a wallet. so off i go to the nearest 7-11 shoes in one hand, coupon in the other, after 4 block of rollerblading i round the corner to the 7-11. Only not. Do my great suprise, not only in the 7-11 closed, but entirely emptied out, gas pumps, signs, everything gone. Even though its quite obvious what happened, i go and read the note on the door, Blah blah blah, out of business blah blah nearest one at 101something 82th ave. i know where it is and the craving of sugar drive me to rollerblade the 10 blocks that way (4 back to my house, 6 to the store). Apon arrival i head over to the slurpee section, only to find they are out of a certain cup size, the same size (plus or minus 50 ml) that my coupon entitles me to. DOH. there just happens to be a nice employee lady standing there so i ask do you have any of that cup size she responds no we are all out of that size. And due to the fact i didnt bring my wallet, this stuck a wrentch in my slurpee run dreams. So saddly i rollerbladed home and craving a slurpee even more than when i had first thought of the idea. I was thinking of going back the next day (wallet in hand), but it was snowing and -12, so i really wasnt in the mood. but i did walk past the 7-11 and guess what, they had the cup size in, rrrrrr,
