  • We’re used to a lot of owners and managers of convenience stores (I think this includes corner stores?) and gas stations being naturalized citizens and foreign nationals. Idk how that got started or how widespread it is, how much of it is a true demographic vs confirmation bias of what we see portrayed in entertainment and media—but either way there is a clear concept of people in that line of work, true or not.

    Of course I say this as an American assuming every random stranger on the internet I see commenting on a post I’m reading to be an American as well, so I’m not entirely sure if this idea holds up in other countries as well.

    If it is true I’d be curious to know the reason why the demographic exists, specifically what it is that attracts non-native citizens
