My time in 7/11
« on: March 08, 2017, 01:36:37 pm »
So i stopped by 7/11 for some gas and coffee. It's like I stepped into the Star Wars bar. There were 15 different languages going on all at once. The cashier would ask me a question in Spanish, I would answer in English, and it was all good. In the background there was Russian and Hebrew and some gibberish I don't know what it was. I think I even heard some Klingon being spoken, but I am only a novice, so I'm not sure.

We haven't had any 7/11s in my neck of the woods in many years. The last one I've seen was in Mexico.

Yeah...


Thinking out loud here though:


You could have said the same thing at any other point in American history. Go to a "General store" in 1860, you would have heard a lot of Irish accents. Or a store in 1880 in Ohio you would have heard a lot of people speaking German or with German accents. Or in NYC in 1910 you would have heard a lot of italian accents or speaking italian outright. Etc. etc.


I'm not in favor of current immigration levels or policy, but I'm just saying.

Yeah, I know what you mean. The weird thing is that I actually do not know what language I was speaking. It was all English in my head, what was being actually said I am not sure.

This is about as close as we get to 7 Eleven around here.

When it is All English, how can you know?


Spanish is only English, with different words. Sometimes I don't know what I am saying.

Lots of eastern Europeans around my tiny town. Mostly retirement age and older but we do have a Lithuanian Roman Catholic youth camp nearby. (Camp Dainava)

My problem with convenience stores is how they are perceived as easy targets for crime.

One can say that some are in safe areas and that is true; but I can find stories of how even rural areas have been struck with this plague.

Here the police have a heavy presence at convenience stores, coffee and what not. That helps some.
