I have been able to find nothing which would support such dramatic accusations as a wholesale sell out of the National leadership."

  WorkinBoy48: Nobody doubts that facts are in short supply. Perhaps you can share what you've learned and where you've learned it. As CaliFZ's reaction indicates, no one is going to accept vague assurances over the very specific allegations made by 7Eleven Girl without some specifics.

  Here are some of the specific issues to address:

  1) We were told in the weeks leading up to the protest that it was going to be a large scale protest with participation and endorsement of the Board. The day of the protest those who sent pictures were very upset that many of the key members had pulled out at the last minute. This seems consistent with 7Eleven Gal's account.

  2) We received and published a submitted account of the protest which said board members were involved with the planning of the protest. GC Eric Karp wrote us a threatening letter claiming the Board wasn't involved in the planning or notification of SEI about the upcoming protest. Eric Karp's strangely urgent and confrontational letter seems consistent with 7Eleven Gal's account.

  3) We received a second extremely detailed account of California & Texas meetings that seemed (if true) to contradict Eric Karp's assertions that Board members were not involved with planning the protest or notifying SEI. This second account seems consistent with 7Eleven Gal's version of events. For some reason, Eric Karp would not respond and defend the assertions in his letter to UF.

  4) Neither GC Eric Karp nor any of the Executives or Board members have responded to our requests for a rebuttal or denial of 7Eleven Gal's allegations. Why is that?

  5) Several things 7Eleven Gal cited as part of the deals seem to have come to pass, including Joe DePinto attending the meeting in Destin, the appointment of the board members to the CEO's Roundtable, the withdrawal of support for the protest, Eric Karp's letter. He/she seems pretty informed. What did your investigation reveal about these occurrences? Coincidence?

  WorkinBoy48, it's not realistic to expect that a person who has taken pains to maintain anonymity is going to contact you when you've already communicated that you doubt his/her story without offering any specifics as to why you doubt her account, and what alternative scenario you discovered.

  Please feel free to share what led you to your conclusions.

• Yes David please do..I personally believe everything 7ElevenGal has stated, not due to a little fact finding mission, as I have none, but rather due to WATCHING this crap happen everyday. I kinda wish you would have kept your anonymous status as it seems maybe you've changed your outlook due to some outside influence. Again I don't know, and hate the fact that I'm getting to thr "I don't care" phase. Because I do. OK Admin I couldn'tjust drop out..Thanks

• 7-11 (at least in much of PA Southern NJ and other areas where Sheetz and Wawa operate) are getting outclassed and out-sold and frankly out-cleaned.

  WAWA, unlike most 7-11s, are immaculate and sell fresh made for you food. I never go to 7-11 except as a last resort.

  As WAWA goes national, which I surely hope they do, 7-11 is doomed without major changes in decor, food offering, cleanliness, and attitude and demeanor of staff.

  None of 7-11 troubles are surprising.
