Not sure I've been inside a 7-11 ever since I haven't needed to work overnight anymore. Why would someone go there in the middle of the day when there are actual stores open?

Who knows. They're just convenient.
Sometimes I just need a small thing of milk for coffee at the office, I dont want to have to go a grocery store, thats a whole thing.
I dont drink a lot of pop, but sometimes I want a Coke.
I have to work late and want some chips and Sev is right there.
Its convenient.
Just dont eat the Sushi.

Now convenience is something I can get behind. In this day and age though, I say go the extra step and just uber eats that stuff from Walmart. I bet it's cheaper too, lol

I will say, when I was a Soccer Coach there were few better treats than treating the whole team to Slurpees after a hard game.

Slurpees and emergency dumps only for this guy, but while I’m in there I see plenty of lottery customers and they seem to be making stoner friendly grab bags that are designed for skip the dishes drivers to grab and go.

Although I do like your use of the term 'Fresh-ish' that seems pretty accurate.
However, despite in-expensiveness, I dont eat 'gas station food.'
I've learned that lesson. The hard way.

My roommates used to tease me about eating “Mohawk” burritos.

I remember some of the gas stations in Italy...my God...we'd consider them restaurants that happened to dispense fuel.

You still claim that you’re not Rick Bell, but the single sentence paragraph style is not often used in Calgary by anyone else. Was he maybe your English teacher? Maybe your computer automatically adds a linefeed after every period? I am just looking for answers.

You want answers? You think you're entitled to answers? You can't handle answers!!
But no. I am not Rick Bell. If you did even a cursory search you can easily find out exactly who I am. I am one of the few posters here who has sacrificed my anonymity. I know it. I've got lots of clients on here who have met me in person.
I am not Rick Bell. I...am Vengeance! I am....The Batman! 
Oh wait no! Thats somebody else.

Even you know for a fact that I am not Rick Bell. I don't even know who that is.

I am not going to do any cursory searches. That’s just creepy stalker vibes. I prefer to continue to believe you are the Rick Bell to Big Bird’s Snufflepagus.

Very well then. You do you. Live your best life and we do not kink-shame.
I'm also apparently in Monahammer's Star Trek dreams. So I've got that going for me as well, which is nice. You get used to it after a bit.

I hope I didn’t just invent a new kink that’s worth being shamed about?
Regarding people dreaming about you in a Star Trek setting. Both unsettling and flattering. I guess if you reconcile those two feelings, it’s more good than bad.

This is a serious accusation on par with being called David Staples
