	Convenience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A convenience store at a petrol station, for example, sells items that have nothing to do with gasoline/petrol, but it saves the consumer from having to go to a grocery store.
		Supposed "conveniences" also sometimes turn out to be a nuisance, including personal computers (can be difficult to use, though this is improving gradually) and mobile phones (with annoying rings and conversations in what would or should be a quiet place).
		Conveniences also cost money to fix when they break down, and may cause much greater costs if something else that depends on them cannot take place.

	How high gas prices hurt the Kwikkie Mart. - By Daniel Gross - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This lag is a boon for convenience store owners when gas prices are plummeting: The price they pay to fill up their tanks falls rapidly, while the price they charge falls more slowly.
		Convenience stores owners mark up gas by an average of 8.8 percent, but the margins on potato chips, beef jerky, and those awful cheese-filled hot dogs is 30.8 percent.
		Correction, May 17, 2004: The article originally described the difference between what convenience stores pay for gas and what they charge for it as an 8.8 percent "margin." That 8.8 percent difference is actually the "mark-up," not the "margin." Return to the corrected sentence.
