I suppose that depends on the priority the 7-11 manager puts on daily
up-keep :)

I hear some people say 'convenience' for 'convenience store', but not a
lot.  It's easier for me, as opposed to specifying "7-ll", "Uni-Mart",
"A-Plus Minimart", etc....

there is a chain in these parts called "Sheetz", but I wouldn't want to
use their loo...
