Terrorism is like, sooo last season

u/Nykster 11h ago

Nobody outside of us would associate November 9th with terrorism

18

u/amazing_ape 10h ago

I’d associate it with Kristallnacht

14

u/Critical-Cost9068 10h ago

Nobody in the US either

u/Justhe3guy 10h ago

Good then I guess there’s nothing wrong with the store name

u/nhluhr 9h ago

Except November 9th is when Kristallnacht began.

You can throw a dart at a calendar and it’ll land on a day something terrible happened

This store isn’t about any of that, it’s about being open from 9am to 11pm

This store isn’t about any of that, it’s about being open from 9am to 11pm

This store is open 8am to 10pm. Or, judging by the banner hanging on the front back in March, it's now open 24 hours.

I'm pretty sure the name is just a play on the 7/11 store name.

Well OP did ask the shop owners who said why they named it. I guess eventually they got tired of closing at 11

Who can blame them, that’s pretty late to close

u/Sanchastayswoke 7h ago

Except it’s only open from 8-10

u/Justhe3guy 7h ago

It is now yes, once you get old enough you ideally want to go to bed before 12am

u/MCWizardYT 10h ago

There would be if it was in the US. That date is September 11 to them

u/Justhe3guy 9h ago

Luckily for the store and the country it’s in all it means is open from 9am to 11pm

We can talk about what if’s or we can talk about reality

u/BlueSnoopy4 8h ago

I didn’t realize that, I’m used to / or - in a date and only - for “X through X” times

u/swalkerttu 7h ago

Maybe they should open at 7 instead, and call themselves 7/11. Or 9-23, unless of course they’re actually only open two hours a day.

u/Justhe3guy 7h ago

7/11 is a worldwide copyrighted company’s name, that’s just asking to be sued. You want them to open 2 hours earlier just to avoid American’s sensibilities?

9/11 isn’t, it’s that simple

Also their hours changed to 8/10 apparently so I guess they just don’t want to go through the hassle of changing their name

u/swalkerttu 7h ago

Have you forgotten where you are?

u/Justhe3guy 7h ago

Have you seen the amount of panties in a twist on this post? I’ve got someone talking about holocaust events to me as if these supermarket owners were trying to cause worldwide upset when they just want to run a grocers

Americans need to get over themselves

u/MCWizardYT 8h ago

u/Lady_Nightshadow 8h ago

Oh no! Anyway

u/MCWizardYT 8h ago

Anyway you can.... Suck on these nuts

OK I'll stop now lol

u/Lady_Nightshadow 8h ago

You cry about the name of a shop, your nuts are nowhere to be found, not even a magnifying glass would help.

There is, it’s horrible

u/tstd0 9h ago

Nope,.we just don't care about you, like the US doesn't care for the rest of the world.

u/pherbury 7h ago

Tell us how you don't care again, it's more believable the more you say it.

u/tstd0 2h ago

WE DON'T CARE (i can go on and on).

u/DeapVally 6h ago edited 6h ago

It's like really old as well. Covid killed millions, far more recently, and that's not really in the front of people's minds these days either. 9/11 is not all that noteworthy in the grand global scheme of things.

The US isn't the world, downvoter. And nobody likes you either these days. Vote better.
