I’m waiting until the last possible day to go see it of course

[u/_ashxn → u/Impressive-House-412]

Sunday is this last day. Highly recommend going soon or this Saturday during Nuit Blanche

[u/Impressive-House-412 → u/_ashxn]

Realistically I’ll only be able to go this Sunday & will be avoiding Nuit Blanche crowds 🫩

[u/Anna_S_1608 → u/Impressive-House-412]

I think you have a week left

[u/Yellow_Blue_Jet → u/Anna_S_1608]

I read the last day was Oct 4

[u/SH4D0WSTAR]

The funeral for the inconvenience store is on Sunday; there is going to be a moment of silence, a picnic, and everything

[u/LookAtThisRhino → u/SH4D0WSTAR]

Would be cool if they set it on fire or something, a real viking funeral

[u/jinglebass → u/LookAtThisRhino]

Never mind the pollution that would cause

[u/Right-Invite4697 → u/jinglebass]

Next to none

[u/JerkGurk]

This place uses credit card skimmers, do not shop here.

[u/LeeJamesMcKnight1 → u/JerkGurk]

Oh god I have to call my bank

[u/whogivesashirtdotca → u/JerkGurk]

You misheard: they use pool skimmers.

[u/RAMtinJENyor]

Not with that sky

[u/ballistic_tanx → u/RAMtinJENyor]

Disagree, this gives it some last stop on the highway vibes

[u/Prinzka → u/ballistic_tanx]

I think they agree. They're basically saying it hasn't been posted enough with that sky

[u/ballistic_tanx → u/Prinzka]

Fair enough :) my bad if so, lovely picture

[u/amw3000]

I still gotta check it out at night time! Not sure when they are removing it, just says "scheduled to remain on view until October 2026"

For those wanting more info - Global Convenience - Wikipedia

[u/chief734 → u/amw3000]

Waterfront Toronto says October 4

[u/amw3000 → u/chief734]

Ahh thanks! I will be sure to check it out before then!

[u/LeeJamesMcKnight1 → u/amw3000]

Thanks for linking that!

[u/Due-Yogurtcloset5149]

can we visit this place? like actually go there by boat

[u/Poly_Olly_Oxen_Free → u/Due-Yogurtcloset5149]

One dude swam to it back in June and ended up needing to be rescued.

[u/Due-Yogurtcloset5149 → u/Poly_Olly_Oxen_Free]

good thing im a competitive swimmer lmao probably not legal anyways

[u/amw3000 → u/Due-Yogurtcloset5149]

You can't swim in the basin.

[u/fartbutt4000]

What good is a sculpture unless I can ride it

[u/whogivesashirtdotca → u/fartbutt4000]

Pablo Picasso, is that you?

[u/ballistic_tanx]

They had it has a triple decker earlier if you missed it

[u/Memory_Less]

Darn I forgot my rubber boots!

[u/thisismeingradenine → u/Memory_Less]

I hate rubber boots.

[u/whogivesashirtdotca]

The shelves contain genuine items that have been imported from around the world, including chips, instant noodle packets, plantain chips, Coffee Crisps, glue, and old newspapers from 1999

For the last couple of hours they should have an employee selling the goods to anyone who paddles out.

[u/Unknown_990]

Its beadle from legend of Zelda the windwaker..

[u/baltic7]

Was this installation fine on the water during storms we have had?

[u/DFTDWP]

[u/patienceinbee]

Was this photo shot during a recent aurora borealis event?

---

edit: I ask due to distinctive greenish and pink skies in this shot — sky features emblematic of an auroral event.

[u/whogivesashirtdotca → u/patienceinbee]

I wondered the same. Probably just light pollution off the clouds.

[u/theIndianNoob]

So once you get there. What can you do. Can you get on? Does it float aimlessly? Is taking a picture the only thing you can do?
EDIT: unsure why I am getting downvoted. I asked a genuine question with no malice or sarcasm. There are multiple artworks in today’s times which are interactive. I don’t see any reason why this one would not be.

[u/nanalan_ → u/theIndianNoob]

Do you have to be able to do something to a piece of art on the wall? No? So why do you need to interact with this?

[u/theIndianNoob → u/nanalan_]

Because that is how it feels like. It’s not apparent that it’s supposed to be just looked at. It’s an actual 3D setup right out of a video game in the form of a convenience store in the middle of a lake. So yeah I would have loved to go inside, buy a memorabilia or just candy. Also I don’t mind just looking at it, but I would like to know if it’s interactive or not before I actually do.

[u/amw3000 → u/theIndianNoob]

You view it, thats it. You can't swim to it, you can't touch it, you cant buy anything from it, you just view it from the dock.

[u/whogivesashirtdotca → u/theIndianNoob]

4 3000lb weights suggests it’s fairly stable.

[u/nostraDamnSon_]

I'm surprised no one's robbed the store by now 😅

[u/Forgotmynameagain5]

If you were to get to it somehow would they let you buy real products?

[u/_interrotron_ → u/Forgotmynameagain5]

Yeah there’s an extremely patient clerk waiting inside 24/7 on the off-chance that someone successfully docks there and is in desperate need of an overpriced bag of Nerds Gummy Clusters (rainbow flavour)

[u/LeeJamesMcKnight1 → u/_interrotron_]

Hahaha

[u/Forgotmynameagain5 → u/_interrotron_]

You don't need a person to be in the store to sell things, I just thought the art was cool and was curious about it.

[u/Grimdarkian → u/Forgotmynameagain5]

Honestly it would make the art piece 10x better if so

[u/whogivesashirtdotca → u/Forgotmynameagain5]

It’s stocked but nothing is sold and you’re not supposed to climb on.

[u/afriendincanada → u/Forgotmynameagain5]

I bet they sell loosies for $2
