Nice bit of free publicity.

D'you reckon they'd be happy to learn their buddies are lying in bits on the shelves in there?

Bearing in mind that pigs are pretty intelligent creatures why would they be working at a 7-11.

It will be interesting to see if volume of pork products sold at this location increase or decrease. ( not counting the sale of any pig ).

I sure the volume will increase if they give a meat cleaver to shoppers as they enter the premises, and tell them to select their own cuts of meat Edited November 10, 2014 by Soutpeel
