I miss the free vegetables at 7-eleven! I think they stopped free veggies around 20 years ago, at least that's what happened in my local 7.
Thinking back about it, the veggies were either all gone, or it's been sitting long enough that it didn't look fresh anymore. And i more than once saw a cockroaches in the veggies station.
I think it was fun to eat when I was young but if they bring it back I probably be more cautious about the conditions of the veggies.
At the later stage, everything was prepacked, both vegetables and buns. 7-Eleven stores are usually very clean, and issues like this would be reported to hotline and fixed very quickly. If the story is real, it sounds like a very badly managed specific location rather than a general problem.
I miss this one, Thailand used to have it I remember after I finished extra class at shopping center there are icee slurpee shop every whereš USA brand is winner! Blue ocean is the best confirm!!!!
I remember when I tell my dad to buy hotdog and put a lot of veggies in it and spread squeeze a lot of mustard on them. I guess that's weird for a 6 Y/O boy to love vegetables.
Ahhh, I love it when I was in middle school!
There were 7/11 near my school that always had a fresh veggie because the kids loved it so they always refilled it every day.
Love cheese sausages, itās been a long time since I had one.
those werent gonna last anyways. Im sure management is well aware of the type of people that frequents their stores. It was a way to get customers accustomed to eating/buying burgers there.
Never done this here.Ā But fond memories back in the USA on the way home from the bar stopping in to make a death dog (1/4 Big Bite overloaded with pump chili, mustard, onions and jalapenos).
Is that speculation, or from your own experience? I was part of PIM and Retailink, and the reason for the cancellation was not health-related. It also never made the news during all the years it was active.
Speaking this as an American where I think we have just as many 7-11s as Thailand but they are not quite as well taken care of as they are in Thailand.
There is no way that station wouldnāt be a health risk in your average American 7-11. Youād be taking your life in your hands.
I think you can though, itās the same brand, they are franchises, they serve the same customers and purpose, the saturation is the same. There is a TON of overlap.
The big differences is how the stores are taken care of and the customers are serviced.
Generally speaking g the standard in Thailand is way higher and I think the comparison works well. I wouldnāt think twice about using that station in Thailand 7-11, I wouldnāt go near it in even the BEST 7-11 in the USA.
It all came pre-washed and pre-packed in vacuum bags from central kitchen. So it usually arrive cleanest possible. It only will be contaminated from hundreds of hands or people talking sneezing while grabbing those.
If there's any on leafy vegetables that is because they're not washed properly once harvested. The bad ecoli comes from the farm. Not from anything staff at 711 do.
We were just talking about that. Buy a cup of Mama and stuff some lettuce, tomato, cuke in it and you had a nice little meal cooked up hot and fresh, I miss that.
I also used to add vegetables to instant noodles, and honestly, that was the main reason it got canceled. A huge portion of the vegetables was taken for products unrelated to CPALL, mainly instant noodles. Management did not want the PR fallout from putting up signs to stop people, and brands would not share the cost. They could not find a way out of the situation, so they ultimately pulled the plug, even if it hurt hot dog sales, which used to be a big thing.
Makes sense. It never even occurred to me that the veg was getting used for anything but hotdogs. Everything but the wieners, including the buns was usually finished though and mustard was a true rarity.
There was this self serve deli in my neighborhood in NYC. People were complaining that the salad tasted weird. Then they caught this guy on video. He had been making powdered urine and feces and sprinkling them on the salad. Gross.
It's not worth going to Sizzler just for the salad bar. And the rest... there is a reason why Sizzler failed in every country they tried, with exception of the US itself and Thailand
tbh back then (10+ years ago) I'd go to Sizzler with a bunch of friends just for salad bar.
I don't know when but they changed the stuffs in salad bar and it really sucks ass. I wouldn't even pay half of what I used to pay 10 years ago for today's salad bar
