Hopefully the locals begin flocking to this store to buy anything quick they may need. This would make me drive extra just to buy some snacks.

But if we don't let poor children starve, who will the Christians feel superior to?

7-11 sells bernaners?

Can you take my banana with a big gulp?

Except this shit shouldn't be happening. Why are we requiring kids to buy food at a place that they are legally required to be at? Fuck thisi system.

Complete with 32oz of concentrated sugar solution. Look how they're watching out for kids' welfare!

A big gulp is a Cup size. the store can stipulate what actual drinks they can/can't have and there are other things beside soda on those machines. hell even water is there

District I work for provides 2x meals per student all summer if they are needed. We know that for some students those are the only two meals they get.
SoberAndBored
A LOT of these programs are directly funded by the Department of Education... unless that department gets gutted, in which case those kids are going to go hungry

Watch the party of "small government" make this illegal too.
MoopsyLD
they can bypass that by selling them a kids combo for a penny. then leave a few pennies in the leave a penny tray. They can also choose what you can pay with so tough shit for thos government assholes

Instead of everyone paying a fraction of a penny to feed the kids, now this 7Eleven owner has to pocket a significant fraction of their income to do what the state will not

While I agree that the need is bullshit, if I saw a place doing such like this near me, I'd make a point out of spending my money there.

we really don't know if 711 will write this off as a deduction. like fox found admits guilt of lying/fraud on election and pays Dominion $780 million, fox/murdoch deducts that amount so it's actually we taxpayers "socialism" that paid off Dominion (and 711?)
Isorikk
A deduction means you reduce your taxable income, not that you don't lose money on something. You might save somewhere around 20-25% of the expense at best. Also, I don't think court fees qualify for a tax deduction, but I'm not a lawyer, so what do I know

Score one for the orphan-crushing machine. I love that they're doing this, I hate that it's necessary.
ButtonMasherZ
Tbf, this is probably a decision by the franchise owner, not 7-11 as a corp. Which is even more reason not to attribute it to the corp.
Whirlednews
This needs more upvotes, 7-11 corp didn’t do shit, the franchise owner did.
tsiyeria
100%. This is a decision made by a specific human, not by a corp.

If your state isn't run by Republicans, there's a chance they're doing this too. It's not just available for lower income kids, either, although they're more likely to take advantage of it. With programs like this, means-testing every applicant would end up costing more than it'd "save" by screening out families that make too much money.

I work for a school lunch program in a blue state. We sent meals through the whole pandemic, and we also do it during the summer when school is out.
Gogoglovitch
That's generally how means-testing ends up in any program it's required for. It pretty much never saves money. At absolute best it breaks even, more often it's paying more to make sure 'undeserving' people don't get to benefit from it. It's another one of those things where the cruelty pretty much seems to be the point.

SF was the only place in USA with enough morals to ban soft drinks (it's really all drinks 100 grams sugar. does anyone remember chemistry experiments measuring out 1 gram is about the size of your pinky joint. that's heck of a lot of sugar and i know people who drink 2 to 5 a day. those idiot SF liberals with the WOKE mind virus! i wonder if sugar will be found to be a kind of addictive nicotine?
Nalianna
post "we should help the poor" you "WOKE MIND VIRUS!!!!!!!".
Arenlor
It won't. It was looked into already. It's just sugar. A 20oz of Coca-Cola only has 65 grams of sugar. Orange juice meanwhile has 52 grams of sugar in 20oz. Apple juice has 68 grams of sugar in 20oz. Soda is roughly as healthy as juice. It's just that historically poor people (usually therefore non-whites etc.) had easier access to soda, and thus it is bad. Don't be a bigot.

we i lived in SE asia it's quite diff climate than west coast, and i prefer heat. i'm out working in 105F while all the neighbors r in AC looking at me like crazy. in SE asia the heat and humidity is ferocious. a liter of water US1.5 a liter of coke .70 cents so i became addicted to soda, my stomach grew to literally size of basketball, gained 50lbs. (this happened twice over 15 years. no doubt it's sugar drinks
expectnothingstillletdown
'If you think fruit juice is healthier than soda you're a bigot' may be the most ridiculous take I've seen on this app. Yes, they are both very high in sugar to a problematic degree. But juice has actual nutrients in it that your body can use. Soda is pure garbage.
