Why The U.S. Can’t Copy Japanese 7-Eleven

I love me some 7-11 Japan as the wife and I started, and ended, our days there many times during our trips to the land of the rising yen.
That video is just too long. Why is it not possible in America? And, yes, our last trip there was over 20 years ago. I am sure it has changed.
I know that the seven eleven near my house does the best (fast) sushi on the island. But of course they have a contract with a really good local supplier.

Can’t even imagine eating sushi from a 7-11.
Can’t even imagine eating any “fresh” food from a 7-11.
Throbber grew up with a guy whose dad was 7–11 CEO back in their startup days. Rich Motherfucker.

I don't know how many Slurpees or Hostes pies I have eaten at the Woodinville 7-11. But they were the were da bomb.
And I ate countless Big Bites in the Summer of '89 at the 7-11 on 148th and 51st in Redmond when I had a Summer job at Nintendo. We would pump the chili on it to make it a chili dog or just eat the chili separate. Great times.

I didn't expect to watch the whole thing but I did. It was really interesting.
In short, the American company (Southland) that owned 7-11s went bankrupt in 1987. The Japanese company that began franchises in 1973 ended up buying out Southand and now they own the entire 7-11 enterprise.
The Japanese company originally franchised in the 1970s as a way to bring in another fringe revenue stream. But the Japanese people overwhelmingly loved 7-11s so much that one store became about 3,000 throughout Japan. They pride themselves on being a neighborhood hub for anything you need. Paying bills, getting food, socializing, etc. They have delivery drivers bring fresh food and cuisine multiple times a day so that whatever's on the shelf will always be fresh.
At the end of the video they started breaking down how it would be tough to emulate the model in America, whose 7-11s are underperforming in P/E. But they didn't say the quiet part out loud... There is so much shoplifting in America that it's killing their margins.
Get the hell out of Costa Rico and go to Japan for once.
And, my Japanese wife used to think like you. Then, she tried my 7-11 sushi. Now, I get a weekly call from her to pick up a roll from 7-11 on my way home. It isn't fresh like asian restaurant counter sushi but it is good if you don't want to drive or wait.
Thanks. I watched way more than I wanted to but agreed that it was (somewhat) compelling. It is a staple for me and the wife in Japan. And it has been for years.
Japan is on the list for 2028 per the Mrs. Going to Central Europe (before WWW3 hits) and S. America first.
One would die eating WA 7-11 food or catch hepatitis from all the homeless bums loitering about.
My favorite vacation ever was Denmark + Estonia + Russia.
Wood LOVE to hit Russia someday.
Dumbfucks in the military industrial complex will make that impossible in my lifetim now. TITTT but its true.
Only about 90 miles from Munich.
Was in Victoria, BC with the ex wife 10 years ago there was a 7-11 by the hotel and we went in there for stuff a few times. She was blown away with how nice it was and the people working there were friendly. Why don't we go to these back home in LA? Took to our closest one by the 101 off ramp in East Hollywood. There was a doorman. It was a homeless crackhead who held the door for you and asked for money. The dude behind the counter held onto my hand like I was Belle and he was the Beast and he wanted to slow dance when he handed me my change and made long eye contact. There were two absolutely shit faced Mexican dudes wandering the aisles and going "eeeeeee" at like 10 a.m. We never went back.
So how long does it take you to cum when you think about being Belle to this Beast? I'm guessing you have a logbook on your nightstand.
You wish you had my nightstand, Flatus.
