7-Eleven

Everybody has an occasion to «stop in» for something quickly, right? Thus, the reason for Seven-​Eleven stores.
As for me… I’ll drive right on by and go the extra mile to Fred Meyer just to avoid the riff-​raff that hangs outside the location. Honestly! Is there not a law against loitering? Then why is it a woman (or anyone else for that matter) can’t even feel the basic safety we anticipate when you have front door parking?
It’s one thing to be able to park close and pick up an item quickly while you pay more. It’s another thing to feel «scared» or «intimidated» by the likes of what you see hanging out on the sidewalks, by the telephone, and all around the entry way to this and other locations of 7 – 11 stores.
Truly, I think they’d get more business if they made the simple effort to clean off their sidewalks!
