Re: 7-Eleven buying large chunk of Sunoco
A couple of years ago when I still lived in WA there was a new 7-Eleven location in Everett (converted from what I believe used to be a Mobil station with a generic C-store on Everett Mall Way) where they built the whole thing out, then upon completion of the store they mothballed it, fenced off the...

Re: 7-Eleven buying large chunk of Sunoco
My sister in law from Utah visited us last week, and we spent the weekend down in Charlotte. I made a point of stopping in at a QuikTrip while we were down there just so she could see the two entire walls full of fountain drinks and coffees/teas they have. She actually lives right near a fairly nice...

Re: 7-Eleven buying large chunk of Sunoco
Currently there are 3 7-Elevens in Greensboro, all of which are new builds which have opened in 2021 or later. Out of these, two have already accumulated a fair number of 1 star Google reviews (mostly for not being open during what should be regular business hours but a few are things like accusatio...

Re: Gov Newsom leaves Panera Exempt from CA Min Wage?
I could theoretically see Jimmy John's trying to claim an exemption as they have sold their leftover bread from the day before for something like 50¢ per loaf for some time, but I suspect the resulting "bad optics" would outweigh any cost savings that might result from it.

Re: 7-Eleven buying large chunk of Sunoco
What I've noticed about Sunoco around here is that they tend to be found only associated with generic/unbranded convenience stores, most of them rural and a grade or two below even the older 7-Eleven stores. I suspect that they maintain a token presence in NC mostly due to their association with NAS...

Re: Eddie Bauer dumbs down logo for GenZ
Yesterday I was in an Eddie Bauer store for the first time in a while, and was somewhat surprised to see that the new logo was basically non-existent. Out of the entire store, I think I saw all of one item that even had the new logo on it, and that wasn't even clothing. Given the fact that the logo...

Re: Fast Food Nation, the book
I seem to recall Chipotle pushing this book in their stores as part of the heavy virtue signaling they were engaged in a year or so before they had their huge food safety scandal in 2018.

Re: Target "Self Checkout Hours" 11 AM to 7 PM
After several visits it seems to me the Target I shop at (Greensboro Lawndale) does pretty consistently keep at least three regular checkstands open, although this is a store with only four self checkout lanes (plus one in the "snack bar" area.) One thing I've noticed about this store is t...
