People joking about eating at 7/11 but I actually eat from 7/11 a lot

:comrade-raccoon:

Christ, man, whose idea was this? I’ve been depressed enough to buy meals at 7-11 multiple times a day but even I would never give up on existence entirely enough to want to dine in. You go there to buy things like cheeseburger bites (that’s a skinless beef sausage with cheddar chunks, like a cheeseburger in a hot dog bun) and share-size bags of Reese’s Pieces that both i and the clerk knew would be shared with nobody. Double Gulps of horchata, 7-11 sushi, shelf-stable pickled sausages. This is not food fit for consumption in the sight of other human beings. You’re supposed to wander in wearing sweatpants, three days of stink and a haunted look on your face, gather your shameful feast, and slink away like a disgusting gremlin back to your tomb. At no point should you acknowledge to another person that, yes, you are purchasing this with the intention of putting it into your body. It’s a crime against society. This should not be allowed.

in-store dining at 7-11

I’ve eaten quite a lot of gas station food in my time, and you gotta set your standards reeeeeeal low to want to sit down and eat at a 7-11. Even a high quality convenience store like Wawa where you can get legitimate sandwiches - those aren’t “sit down and eat here” quality, they’re “take with you to where you’re going” quality.

The selling alcohol thing though, who cares? Lots of places in the US ban alcohol sales and it just increases traffic and car accidents because everyone just has to drive slightly further to get their drinks (not to mention people who are half in the bag and want to go out and get more).
