Kendall D'Andrade suggests: "Perhaps there are other scenes in films where a cop character is part of a robbery, probably almost always at a convenience store, which he stumbles upon because he is there shopping. I _think_ this also happens in to Harvey Keitel's _Bad Liutenant_." The opening of the appalling COBRA, with Stallone, includes a robbery at, I believe, a supermarket, rather than a convenience store. On the other side of things, THE NIGHT OF THE COMET has the teen girl survivors of a world disaster looking for weapons, and choosing Uzzis! For convenience stores, there's also THELMA AND LOUISE. If you want to extend into television, there are a lot of examples--from Lucy and Ricky to Seinfeld, but the most interesting one might be Ruth's store in NORTHERN EXPOSURE, which carries a remarkable range of items for the various citizens of Cicely, Alaska.
