How Long Could You Survive Locked In A 7 Eleven?

Gizmo j · Mar 7, 2023

You're completely by yourself, in a fully stocked 7Eleven, with the electricity and plumbing working just fine.

How long would you survive?

...until the food or water runs out?

Until the Water/beverages run out.

This sounds like it would be even worse than a typical reality show.

Chips, fountain drinks, a Maxim mag for companionship, Some milk, jerky, donuts, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, cheap pizzas cheap biscuits with salty processed sausage, COFFEE, Iced Slurpees. Sweet drinks like iced tea, Gatorade. You'll get abscesses but the first days will be a comfort eater's comfort.

(I know the insides quite well because my mom worked for them).

Until my stomach explodes from eating all that sh*t food?

Your heart says "no", but your body will say "let's go".

If I were alone in a fully stocked 7Eleven, I'd probably survive quite a while. With all the food, water, and supplies readily available, I could easily sustain myself for weeks, if not months. I'd definitely make sure to ration the food and make it last as long as possible. Plus, with electricity and plumbing working, I could even charge my phone, use the microwave, and have access to clean water. So, all in all, I think I'd have a pretty good chance of surviving for a while.

Until they unlock the doors.

I'm thinking several months at least maybe even a year if I properly ration from the start. Though I may be over estimating the amount of food in a typical store that is not being restocked.

It's mostly all junk food but there may still be some semi nutritious stuff like beef jerkey and premade subs that can get you by. Also may be a small section with grocery stuff and maybe even frozen stuff. Have not been in a 7 Eleven since we don't have them here but I presume it's similar to any chain convenience store like Mac's or Circle K. They vary but some do have a small grocery section. If you're lucky maybe even a multi vitamin section. You can also use the freezer to store perishable stuff like premade subs to make them last longer.

The most critical thing is going to be wether or not there's a decent supply of toilet paper in the staff bathroom because eating all that junk food, you're going to go through it a lot lol.

First thing I'd do is scratch off all the scratch tickets and win like $5M.

It's not the question of how long I can survive in a fully packed store, the real problems comes with keeping the other people out.

dank69 · Mar 7, 2023

At least seven. Maybe eleven.

I think the assumption is that no one goes in or out of the locked 7/11

Until I feel like throwing the roller dog machine through the front window and leaving.

pete6032 · Mar 8, 2023

7/11 never forget.

nakedfrog · Mar 8, 2023

Strange things are afoot at the Circle Eleven.

WelshBloke · Mar 8, 2023

Important question. Is the staff loo accessable in this thought experiment? Because otherwise the poop corner is definitely going to have some baring on my answer!

GodisanAtheist · Mar 8, 2023

I'm not locked in a 7-11, the 7-11 is locked in with me...

worse comes to worse just empty a good sized container you can find, drop your poops into it and leave it in the back corner of the walk-in fridge/freezer to help keep the smell down.

7/11 was a part time job.

Something I didn't consider is that you could put the food in the freezer for it to last longer
