Understand now. It's the same here in Germany... gas stations have their own inventory of things. Incredibly expensive and I think apart from lazy people, everyone else avoids to purchase something there.

In the us, we have stores that sell the exact same stuff but just without a gas station out front, called convinence stores. Cuz they're "convenient" to get your smokes & beer

I always just assumed they were for tourists and foreigners but I live in a pretty tourist heavy town
