In a move that will probably delight and disgust convenience store shoppers at the same time, 7-11 has begun offering mashed potatoes and gravy via a vending machine. Alas, the machines aren’t available here in the US yet. As strange as it sounds, we’d probably be first on line if they were.
It was a sad day for my wife when T's (the drive through barn convenience store) closed. She loved it because it was so easy to have all the kids with her and still get a drink or treat without ever getting out of the van. Now she has to rush into a store for the vending machine to get her treats if she has the kids, or unload all of them - which is a pretty big chore! But, if history has its way.
