Get the drug store mug.1. a store (usually at the corner of every urban city block) usually owned by a Hispanic male who goes by "Papi". If a Hispanic female is the cashier, call her "Mami". They sell chips, sandwiches, bread, $0.50 juices, etc. It's an urban 7-Eleven. It's awesome.
Male #1: I'm going to the corner store after church to get a honey-bun and a $1.00 Pepsi. Do you want anything?
Female #1: Sure; I'll have a pastrami sandwich with mustard. Tell Papi I said "thank you".
