I've got a 7-11 down the street from me. The main clientele are folk grabbing late-nite supplies, coffee on the run or gas. They would never touch the food with a 10-foot pole whether it's healthy or not. The other clientele are the homeless who come there for quick, cheap calories. They aren't interested in and can't afford healthy food. They're just looking for their next meal.
