Lay-Z-Shopper — Local services in Athens-Clarke County Unified Government

Once upon a time, I found myself in a small town where everyone was talking about this magical store called "The Lazy Shoppe." I couldn't resist my curiosity, so I decided to step inside and see what all the fuss was about. As I walked through the doors, a cozy and inviting atmosphere surrounded me. The shop was filled with all sorts of interesting items, each with its own story to tell. I couldn't help but feel intrigued by the mysterious energy that filled the air.

The guy acted like he had no clue who I was... not to mention I have easily spent hundreds of dollars there and even had an order in the process, which he cancelled, because “I no longer belong there since I trespassed.”...

This convenience store is a perfect representation of the messy, chaotic, alcohol-scented side of Athens that UGA parents adore turning a blind-eye to when they come to town for football games.
