Lack of convenience is really inconvenient, and as an International Business person, having to go back to your hotel just to pick up a food you recognize can be very stressful.<BR/><BR/>Thankfully, 7Eleven and Wal-Mart are just around the corner in almost every country in the world (and one day, SPACE!).Raymondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11716164666203489881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26205275.post-24506208763960477102008-12-13T08:59:00.000+08:002008-12-13T08:59:00.000+08:00Did you know that 7Eleven was a South African invention.

Every purchase requires the clerk to enter the age and gender of the customer. This accounts for the slight variations of stock in different 7Elevens. A store frequented by women in their 20s will have more beauty magazines, while a store frequented by older women will have more "family-friendly" type products. The number of hard liquor choices are directly tied to how many men frequent the store.Maomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13032492741317904503noreply@blogger.com
