Well, this just ruins my whole weekend.
7-Eleven Day is canceled this year, meaning no free Slurpees - CNN
It's probably just as well, though. At the 7-11 I go to, they stopped allowing refills. I saw someone get chased out of there the other day for not wearing a mask (required by local ordinance). There's a lot of scuzzy people going in there all the time. One time someone tried to walk out with a bottle of orange juice without paying. The clerk stopped him and the guy got mad and broke the window.
There's no telling what might happen if people can't get their free Slurpees.
At least they have good coffee.

(CNN)It's a sad day for Slurpee lovers everywhere.
The convenience retailer has celebrated July 11 (7/11) every summer since 2002 as 7-Eleven Day, with free Slurpees for all who visited one of the stores. But it's been canceled this year. And, yes, you can blame it on the pandemic.
Instead, 7-Eleven said it would celebrate its birthday by donating one million meals to Feeding America, a national nonprofit.
"At 7‑Eleven, our top priority is the safety of customers, Franchisees and employees," 7‑Eleven Senior Vice President Marissa Jarratt said in a statement.
