Inconvenience Store

They just don't seem to understand there is a new sheriff in town and he isn't playing these games.
From El Zoro News:
Michael Lynch, deputy administrator of the General Services Administration, sent a letter to Doug Rosencrans, 7-Eleven’s COO, on Feb. 5 requesting any information from a potential internal investigation into the altercation.
Lynch noted that a federal government partnership could be in jeopardy between the Trump administration and the world's largest international chain of convenience stores.
"As 7-Eleven, Inc./Speedway LLC locations accept the GSA SmartPay fleet card for fuel and other authorized purchases on behalf of Federal fleets —i ncluding those operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — these actions raise concerns about the ability of Federal vehicle operators to access necessary fuel and services at convenient locations," the letter reads.

A viral video captured by conservative activist Cam Higby posted on Jan. 21 shows Bovino leaving a Speedway gas station, a chain which is owned by parent company 7-Eleven, followed by a manager who said, "I don’t support ICE, and nobody here does."
GSA said in the letter that "the reported refusal appears to have encompassed both in-store purchases and potential fuel transactions."
No doubt 7-11 will fire the manager and perhaps close this store if it comes to it. But one wonders if this policy hasn't come down from higher up than the store manager.
At any rate Trump is doing the right thing; cut off all business from the federal government and see how they like the loss of all that cash. Past administrations would have shrugged "what can you do" and kept spending taxpayer dollars there anyway.
Until we show everyone that open defiance of the law and violating the civil rights of Americans for woke ideology will cost dearly this will keep happening. The Left used this power for decades, boycotting and defunding and strangling opposition, even when it was unlawful for them to do so. FINALLY we have someone who understands how to use this same power.
In bygone days the thinking was we needed to act better than our leftist enemies, that we "can't stoop to their level" even while they were bringing the whole country down to their level. Now we are pretty much in a position of fight or die, and we now have a man leading us who is willing to fight. Even Ronald Reagan didn't have the stones of Donald Trump and that is why so much of the Reagan Revolution failed after Mr. Reagan was gone from the scene; he didn't pull this stuff out by the roots. Trump is attempting something much harder than what Reagan tried; he's attempting to not just trim the weeds but eradicate them.
At any rate I think the old 7-11 slogan "oh thank Heaven for a friendly store like 7kk011" is no longer applicable. Perhaps they should amend it to "It's not Funny Please Givle us Back You're Money".
