7-eleven El Cajon

When your coffee lady at the local 7-Eleven greets you with a Valentine's Day gift. I love Karen! She's a great lady! They're lucky to have her!

The homeless are with us. Businesses like 7-11 have more to contend with than most. I have seen evidence of the owner/mngr trying to correct this problem. In particular, a large sign appeared months ago outside the entry doors asking patrons to avoid giving hand outs. I have in the past given money from time to time as I’m sure that others have too. However, I did take the request to heart, I no longer give money away to the homeless at 7-11’s. We have to take into consideration too that the police no longer show up in response to help for this cause. Unless a crime has been committed the police are far too busy and perhaps too few available to come out for this purpose when hundreds of businesses citywide have similar issues. Can you imagine how many frustrating requests from private property owners there must be asking for help? I’ve seen the homeless dissapear for days only to return when the pressure, whatever it may be, is off. They return. It’s at the owners expense, time and trouble, to deal with this issue. Anything less than an additional full time employee wouldn’t suffice. People without homes are are with us. The city, state, the nation haven’t solved the problem, so why would you expect one business to do it alone?
