For as long as I can remember I've been 7-Eleven's biggest fan. I've often said that if 7-Eleven doesn't have it, I don't need it. I do my grocery shopping at 7-Eleven. I've even talked about registering for my wedding there someday:)
But tonight my loyalty has been tested.
Today is July 11. In other words, today is 7.11. And for beverage lovers all over the country July 11 means one thing.
I waited in anticipation all day until I finally had a chance to visit the 7.Eleven near my house at 10.00 pm. So you can imaginne how disillusioned I felt when I walked into the store and saw a handwritten note taped to the slurpee machine.
Free slurpees are over at this location.
You've got to be kidding me. I asked the guy behind the cash register if there was some mistake. There was no mistake. With two hours left on July 11, 2006, 7-Eleven shut down their slurpees.
I've had it.
At least until I need a doughnut.
Hey! I was watching Letterman tonight and they have a deal with 7-11 that through the end of this week if you mention that 'David Letterman sent ya' then you get a free slurpee and a free hot dog too! Try it for dinner tomorrow night...
