7-11 Says No Go to Hugo and Citgo

Here's a little blowback from the Hugo Chavez Immaturity Tour that took place in New York last week:

7-Eleven spokesman Margaret Chabris said that, “Regardless of politics, we sympathize with many Americans’ concern over derogatory comments about our country and its leadership recently made by Venezuela’s president Hugo Chavez.”

Chabris said a boycott of Citgo gasoline would hurt the 4,000 employees of the U.S. subsidiary, who have no connection to Venezuela.

7-Eleven had been considering creating its own brand of fuel since at least early last year. Company officials said at the time they had spoken with independent fuel distributors.

I wonder how sales are doing at other Citgo stations? I know the lefties were pushing people to buy there, and the sane people were staying away. It would be interesting to get ahold of those figures.
