Also quite common in video games, due to the fact that [[AnEconomyIsYou the gameplay tends to be sculpted around the hero's quest]]. If you find a shopping district full of these then you are in a BazaarOfTheBizarre.

Also quite common in video games, due to the fact that [[AnEconomyIsYou the gameplay tends to be sculpted around the hero's quest]]. Oftentimes, [[TookAShortcut even the far reaches of the unknown]] are populated with tiny tent stores that [[BiggerOnTheInside boast a huge selection]] despite no one shopping there (in fact, being so far into the game, they're likely to have ''more'' stuff). If you find a shopping district full of these then you are in a BazaarOfTheBizarre.

** Don't forget how pharmacies everywhere in the US all sell cigarettes, and usually sell alcohol (if the laws of the state allow it).

I hate Geico ads too, but that doesn\'t mean a \"possible inversion\" is allowed on the page. Especially if it\'s not actually an inversion. Actually, it just sounds like you don\'t like Geico ads.


* A possible inversion of this trope would be Geico: they sell just ''one'' thing (vehicle insurance), but produce so many different series of commercials -- grumpy cavemen, google-eyed money, that stupid lizard, ad infinitum -- that you'd think they were half a dozen different companies.

* ''ShinMegamiTensei'' games are often particularly [[WallBanger wall-banging-ish]] about this, since the store that sells EVERYTHING, up to and including voodoo-dolls, ancient coins and magical gems, is a pharmacy. And not a fantasy-ish pharmacy either, the modern-day kind where you'd go to get a refill for your aspirin. And, apparently, everything else you need for basic demon-hunting.

* Robert Asprin's ''MythAdventures'' series has the Bazaar at Deva, which sells "anything you can imagine and a few things you can't." Deva is a planet/dimension occupied by LawfulEvil "Deevels" who specialize in commerce and trade. Like Coruscant meets Wal-Mart, the entire planet ''is'' the bazaar. One hopes they made the moon a parking lot or something. The most bizarre thing the characters ever bought there is probably their headquarters, which is a [[BiggerOnTheInside small tent with the interior of a mansion]]; only the entrance is on Deva, while the rest is located in a parallel dimension populated by FriendlyNeighborhoodVampires.
** Deveels aren't so much LawfulEvil as they are, fantasy-style [[SpaceJews Ferengi]].
