Since we're on 7-11...
Do you know 7-Eleven is called so because it used to open from 7am to 11pm?

And since nowadays 7-Eleven operates 24hrs a day, why do they still have locks on their doors?
now now, there is a perfect logical reason for this.
Economic students should know.

u still not going to tell me ah?
*closed for stock tk?
*strategy purpose.. like @ nite, security purpose.. or like e 1 @ ecp, oso 1 of dem is closed cus dey too much stock so put by e dr, den muz lock up dat dr..
* when dey renovate e pl, e dr already muz come wif lock to lock up e still under construction/renovation outlet
*mks more sense to haf a lock installed..cus if u'r not even going to need to lock up e pl, why place a dr there in e 1st pl? mite as well don't fix e dr there.. acts as a "just in case" thing...
