Mayfair Marathon

It’s 5am and I want a danish with my coffee. Sometimes I just need milk. Walking into Mayfair Marathon immediately baptizes me in florescent lights and embraces me with smoky Nag Champa. The guy behind the register looks more Buddha than Hindu with that belly; and he has mastered the art of passing out on a stool with a small backrest. He seems too old to work. He needs to retire. Once you wake him up, he’s super sweet! He’s also helpful.
For Chicago, I think the gas prices are decent. If you’re commuting from the suburbs, then it’s your fault for not filling up before you left! I think I am more annoyed with all of the stupid kids who choose to tag everything, with their stupid looking calligraphy, all over the gas pump. Seriously you brats, get a piece of paper or use chalk on the sidewalk. Who raises these monsters? Parents, perhaps I might suggest Invisible Fencing; or a choke chain leash anchored deeply into your front lawn area?
The food is cheap. I have never had any of the deep fried delicacies from the fast food joint inside; but I have had their «delivered daily» bakery goods. Do not eat those. They are just stale. You’re better off purchasing the pre-​packaged bakery items which have tons of chemicals and preservatives. Hey, you’re already spoiling your diet in the first place, right?
I have never been in the bathroom, but I am going to take Laura’s word for it. When are gas station bathrooms ever clean? There are Lake Forest gas station bathrooms that scare me. I consider myself to be a neighborhood pioneer; and this is a nice little quick stop. I will visit many times in the next year and four months to follow.

Had to use the washroom there today. Disgusting! Hasn’t been cleaned in months. In addition, no paper towels and the hand dryer did not work. The store looks fine inside, pay more attention to your bathroom please.
