Convenience means having a gun when I need it........

We didn't discuss employees at all, but it is against 7-Eleven's corporate policy to post a 30.06 warning in individual stores. The district manager was based in the metroplex and was well aware what I was talking about. I don't have any idea what the employees are required to follow; although I can make some pretty good guesses.

Last week I stopped to fill up my truck at the 7-Eleven/Shell station at I-30 and Eastchase in Fort Worth. I saw a 30.06 sign on the outside of the building, towards the back, that I had never seen before. It was in English only, but certainly large enough, and had the right wording. Well, I had already paid at the pump, so I finished up and left.

When I got home, I sent an email to 7-Eleven explaining why I would not be patronizing that store anymore.

About two hours later, I got a phone call from the Central District Loss Prevention Manager, apologizing for the sign, and explaining that it was against corporate policy for the signs to be displayed, and that he would order them down, and do a survey of other stores in the area to make sure none of them had the same posting. He also said he would reiterate to the sign vendor, that they were not authorized to be purchased.

All-in-all, it was a very good experience, and I think they did a great job with customer service. I stopped by there yesterday, and the signs were, indeed, gone.
