The term "the store" does not need to directly refer to "the super market."

At our flag football tournament, I was talking to my good friend
Scott McIntosh. I shared with him my recent purchase. Holding up
an a tube of Pine-Tar-In-A-Stick, I said, "Hey Scott, check out
what I got at the store!"
He looked at me as if I just told him I discovered cold fussion,
because to him, when someone says "the store" that means "she
super market." His response was, "What? Next to the salami?"
I contend that when I say "the store" that means any store
including the sporting goods store. Further more, in any
conversation the item dictates which store I am referring to. The
term "the store" reffers to any establishment dispensing any
product.
Who could argue with that?

This really sounds like something Wayne and Garth should have argued about.
"The term "the store" reffers to any establishment dispensing any product."
I could argue? Not with the claim, but with that description you gave. I'd think a store would have to be selling something, not simply dispensing it. If a building dispenses toilet paper in it's bathroom, is it hosting a toilet paper store?
Probably not ...
I used to work in a 'store' attached to a factory. You don't buy stuff from the store, you requisition it. Or just run in and grab what you need, which screws up the storeman's stock figures. The rotten Rigger-glove-snaffling bastages.
