what's more common is a 7-11 convenience store, which are more noted for selling liquor, porn mags, junk-food, and slurpees, than they are for their fresh produce (which some do actually carry).


Here's a nitpick which is somehow still on topic.

7-11 quit selling porn about 20 years ago.
That's because Southland corporation has an ethical issue with that.
So you can buy Maxim, or some Lowrider magazines, or the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue if you really need to see some nearly topless women.
But, on ethical grounds, they don't sell Playboy or anything harder.

Also, I seem to recall that 7-11 does not sell liquor, only beer. (and lately, wine)
And they don't even sell beer in certain markets (based on local regulations).

They do sell junk food (and lots of it).
And of course the Slurpees, which I think is a 7-11 trademark (so everyone else has to sell "Squishees," or "Slushees," or some such).

Of course, your comment is dead-on accurate for "24 hour convenience store" used in the generic sense, where you can stock up on your whiskey, Hustler, and Cheetos all at the same time (along with condoms, cigarettes, and sometimes a singing statue of Elvis).

I just wanted to point out that 7-11's parent corporation decided to take an ethical stand against selling porn. At least in the south and west. I can't remember if their ethics are "more flexible" in the northeast.
