    As a goer to 7/11 on a daily basis I have noticed that they are about completely out of cigarettes to sell.
    Anyone else noticed this or is it just where I am?

    Glad I'm not a smoker anymore..

    A couple days ago I was in one near me and I would guess that maybe 3/4 of the large board holding them was empty. Only reason why I noticed is that they guy ahead of me bought a pack. Also glad I gave up analogs!

    Been a lot of empty space in the shelves here too, at least it was yesterday. Wanted to ask my wife why but forgot it.

    They are again changing the pictures on the packages for larger ones, hence the empty shelves.

    It's not all that uncommon really. I have seen it happen off and on in both 7/11 and Family Mart over the years. I don't recall ever seeing it happen to both convenience store chains at the same time, so I assume its just some sort of a supply line glitch, within the company.

    I haven't been in a 7 Eleven lately so I don't know about this, but I know this mostly happened before when the prices of cigarettes went up! I have no problem with that!:vaping:

    Coincidence? Crackdown on alcohol promotion and ban on e-cigs. Micky saying that it is not easy to get juices anymore. And also no cigarettes at 7 Eleven!:chinrub:
