Unfortunately, they haven't had my favorite pinot noir there for the past 55 years.
Edit: Is joke. Lyrics to Hotel California: "So I called up the Captain, 'Please bring me my wine.' He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.'"

Mad Dog 40/40 is real similar
I edited my comment for clarification purposes.
The bar on that place sucks, they think wine is a spirit and that champagne isn't wine
yes they have. I've been there recently
Also, how does the other commenter know which Pinot Noir is your favorite? 🤔😄
I can tell
What a useless superpower 😄
Unless you're a vintner or something like that, of course 😁
I had edited my comment. It originally said 7-11 doesn't sell wine (at all), but I realized the lyrics needed more specificity for the joke to hit harder.
I can still play that riff old as we both are
The solo is rippin'
This must be to keep people playing the slot machines or whatever the fuck they are. I swear people already spend hours in there - it’s kinda sad, but if they’re enjoying themselves, cool.
Wait since when does 711 have slot machines
They do/did here in Virginia. They're "skill games" or something. Some law changed it something because they've been turned off with a sign taped to the screen for a while now.
They're a rigged game is what it is
In some states they're legal as long as you can only win coupons for merchandise and not money.
Texas also now allows gambling, so long as it's for charity. So you're starting to see game runs being set up that give 100% of profits to a charity. Of course, that doesn't stop them from paying obscene salaries to the owners so that the "profit" is only like 1%.
I'd assume they would in any jurisdiction that allows it, which won't be many
Probably in Las Vegas. Even the airport has slot machines there.
Move along. Nothing to see here.
That sure as shit ain't happening in California
We've got pretty lax alcohol laws out here, at least compared to a slew of other states. Take a look at PA
I don't know where this is, but often this has to do with local alcohol laws. At restaurants with patios or sidewalk seating you'll often see "no alcohol beyond this point" signs for the same reason. They can serve you alcohol, but they have to keep you within a certain space while you're consuming it.
Yeah, alcohol licenses are typically divided up into served vs sealed alcohol. And the two are often mutually exclusive, because one usually prohibits the sale of the other. Sealed licenses typically prohibit on-site consumption of liquor, while an open license will require it.
So a liquor store with a sealed liquor license can sell you bottles of hard liquor, but you can’t consume them on the premises because that would be an open container. And their liquor license only allows for sealed bottles on the property. And inversely, a bar with an open liquor license will uncap bottles of beer before handing them to you, because their liquor license doesn’t allow them to sell sealed containers, and also requires that all the alcohol they sell remains on the property.
I’d be interested to see what kind of licensing allows for both sealed and open containers. It’s likely some sort of new anti-addiction initiative, similar to needle swaps/safe injection sites for heroin users. Or they only have the open liquor license, so they’re requiring that all liquor sold be consumed on-site. Thus the “but you can’t leave” part of the meme.
In Oregon, the brewery-public house license allows sale of open containers by the drink and sealed containers for off-premises sales, but only for drinks manufactured at that location.
Same in VA, but if you buy a 6 pack to go, you cannot crack one open if you decide to stay, it may only be consumed off-site. Some won't even give you the beer until you have already closed your tab and are on the way out.
In Japan you can do both.
711 is already overrun by dirtbags. Now it'll be overrun by drunk dirtbags? I will drive across town to avoid the experience. Strange market share they're looking to cater to.
They're putting restaurant areas in the shop. It's not a bar.

Mmmmm forever dogs and Busch light 😐
I don't know the song very well, is there something specific or is just about how depressing a night drinking in the 7-11 is?
I hate the song, but the infamous phrase is "You can check out, but you can never leave"
Why hate song? Song good.
Art subjective. Some like, some hate. Song, long, lame, overplayed. False nostalgia does not make song good.
Why fake? Nostalgia real. Why use many word when few word do trick?
You're right, false was the wrong word. For me this song falls under "a tradition is anything that happened to a boomer twice."
Apologies for the erudition.
But lyrics. Poetry. Meaning.
Your results may vary. Long. Lame. Overplayed.
I guess could be heaven or could be hell.
Get the fuck outta my cab!
*anytime you like
Better than them drinking out front, I guess.
Some of the 7Elevens in Taiwan have bars inside them. Great when they are on the night market street. This one was in Kaohsiung.
