the howie

for some reason 7-elevens go hand in hand with Indians.

A few years ago Tom and I spent a night calling 7-Eleven stores all over the world and having conversations with them. I think they where all Indian people who answered the phone.

This morning on the train into work there was 3 indian boys sitting across from me. They began talking about what they where going to do when they had finished school. One of them said ‘My dad is going to buy me a 7-Eleven franchise, then another boy said “oh me too”. The third said his uncle worked for 7-elven and he too would probably run his own store.

The stereotype continues.
