    Québécois : le dépanneur

    Français de France^© : l’arabe du coin (typically, the ridiculously small and dense convenience stores that are pretty much always open have been run by people with Arab origins). Or we just call them “épicerie” if we don’t want to sound casually racist

        There actually was a nice épicerie owned and operated by an Arab guy called Mohamed near where I used to live, and he called it “Momoprix”. It’s still there but he got sued by monoprix so now I think it’s “chez momo”
