This must be to keep people playing the slot machines or whatever the fuck they are. I swear people already spend hours in there - it’s kinda sad, but if they’re enjoying themselves, cool.

Wait since when does 711 have slot machines
joby@programming.dev 8 months ago
They do/did here in Virginia. They’re “skill games” or something. Some law changed it something because they’ve been turned off with a sign taped to the screen for a while now.

Probably in Las Vegas. Even the airport has slot machines there.

I’d assume they would in any jurisdiction that allows it, which won’t be many
yemmly@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Move along. Nothing to see here.

I don’t know where this is, but often this has to do with local alcohol laws. At restaurants with patios or sidewalk seating you’ll often see “no alcohol beyond this point” signs for the same reason. They can serve you alcohol, but they have to keep you within a certain space while you’re consuming it.

Yeah, alcohol licenses are typically divided up into served vs sealed alcohol. And the two are often mutually exclusive, because one usually prohibits the sale of the other. Sealed licenses typically prohibit on-site consumption of liquor, while an open license will require it.
So a liquor store with a sealed liquor license can sell you bottles of hard liquor, but you can’t consume them on the premises because that would be an open container. And their liquor license only allows for sealed bottles on the property. And inversely, a bar with an open liquor license will uncap bottles of beer before handing them to you, because their liquor license doesn’t allow them to sell sealed containers, and also requires that all the alcohol they sell remains on the property.
I’d be interested to see what kind of licensing allows for both sealed and open containers. It’s likely some sort of new anti-addiction initiative, similar to needle swaps/safe injection sites for heroin users.

In Oregon, the brewery-public house license allows sale of open containers by the drink and sealed containers for off-premises sales, but only for drinks manufactured at that location.

That sure as shit ain’t happening in California

We’ve got pretty lax alcohol laws out here, at least compared to a slew of other states. Take a look at PA

In Japan you can do both.

711 is already overrun by dirtbags. Now it’ll be overrun by drunk dirtbags? I will drive across town to avoid the experience. Strange market share they’re looking to cater to.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 months ago
They’re putting restaurant areas in the shop. It’s not a bar.

Mmmmm forever dogs and Busch light 😐

I don’t know the song very well, is there something specific or is just about how depressing a night drinking in the 7-11 is?
Aeri@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I hate the song, but the infamous phrase is “You can check out, but you can never leave”

Better than them drinking out front, I guess.

Unfortunately, they haven’t had spirits there in the last 55 years.

Mad Dog 40/40 is real similar

I edited my comment for clarification purposes.

The bar on that place sucks, they think wine is a spirit
SingularEye@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
