Or certain... well you catch my drift.

see heres the deal...at least here...it's illegal to wear a mask that conceals your face...its NOT ILLEGAL to wear a hood

the businesses that have this policy have instituted it because of past problems

wearing a hood outside on a cold day is perfectly acceptable

its not hard to just pull the hood back when you walk thru the door

Businesses have every right to have customers abide by a blanket policy such as no hoods/sunglasses/etc when they enter the business...just like you have every right to not allow the stranger walking down the street to enter your property

the same goes for firearms...a company has every right to restrict firearm possession on its property...like you do on your property...

spend a week with me...see just how many armed robberies that take place involve someone wearing a hood...

its incredibly frequent...the 4 ive personally worked in the past 2 weeks have ALL involved MULTIPLE individuals wearing hoods...the officer (my cpl) who had a mac-10 pointed and presented at him last night...that guy was wearing a hood

say what you want...but stereotypes come from somewhere...and if not allowing hoods in a business keeps those other law abiding customers and employees safe...then so be it...

i would never work at a gas station but they make more than minimum wage ...especially the graveyard shift which gets robbed the most

youd be surprised at how inaccurate this is...at least in my area...

most of the stop-and-robs have begun using the safety window that doesnt allow customers inside and behind very thick glass...

its a lot easier to "disappear" after the robbery when theres traffic to blend into

For the record I understand why the policy is in place although I question its effectiveness and I'll take my hood off in the future. The clerk made it sound like this policy was common knowledge and I should have known better. I just wanted to see if anyone else had heard of it.

Aww shucks! Before you know it they'll ban these!

People that wear hoods on inside a store are just as idiotic as people that wear sunglasses indoors and are not blind or sensitive to light.

I have proscription sunglasses so it's easier for me to leave them on for a quick in and out cause it's hard to see without them. I don't always remember to swap glasses before I leave my truck.

Also as far as hoodies go you can just tuck it into your shirt. Or is the policy of the hoodie the act of wearing it on your head vs. wearing a shirt that happens to have a hoodie?

Yep, just happened to me. I walked in and started toward the back of the store so I guess the employee thought he really had to raise his voice at me from behind the counter, plus there were about 10 people in the store up front, some waiting in line. He said, in a commanding voice no less, "YOU HAVE TO TAKE THAT HOOD OFF IN HERE SIR." My back was to him and he repeated his Drill Sargent tone, SIR, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THAT HOOD OFF IN HERE. I turned around, looked him straight in the eyes, mainly because something tripped in my brain--a sort of calm fight or flight response--and using the back side of my left thumb knuckle (which I didn't even realize at the time was in a fist), I continued to slide my knuckle down the back of my hood, placing it down off my head. For the next three seconds, we just stared at each other. It was totally weird. Incidentally, the only reason I went into the store was because the gas pump informed me "CLERK HAS RECEIPT" when I finished pumping gas. 7-Eleven also has a policy that you are to receive a free fountain drink if you have to go into the store to retrieve your receipt. I was informed of this at another 7-Eleven one night where a guy and girl employee were working; the girl told me of the policy and I got my free drink. A week later, the same thing happened and I went in to get my receipt. The same guy who was working the week before, who incidentally, had had a rude disposition towards me other times I had simply come in to purchase things, did not bother upholding the free fountain drink policy. Also, it is interesting to note during my hoodie transaction, another man had come into the store who was not told to remove his hoodie, along with a man wearing a winter hat. As I was leaving--and I swear to you all I am not making this up--a woman in a wheelchair was coming in, who literally had no lower legs was wearing a winter hat with a hoodie on top of that. Imagine telling a woman with no legs, in a wheelchair, on a cold winter's day no less, she has to remove her hoodie. It's all trivial in the general scope of things, but I'm definitely not going back to that particular 7-Eleven and will avoid them in general, if I can in the future. I understand the formalities/etiquette of removing your head-wear but it's just a gas station, and as someone has already mentioned, they don't tell people who are robbing the 7-Elevens to remove their hoodies.

Y'all do know this is a 7 year old thread right???.

And "do 33's fit without lift?" questions have been answered before this forum started but those are still around. If it isn't locked it's ok to post.

First I've heard of it. Maybe posting something on the door would be a better way of handling it.

I saw a sign on a local sketch mart here recently. Meh don't bother me, I take off my hood when I go indoors anyway, it's not cold indoors.

Shwaa · Mar 18, 2018

Sooo you can wear a hooded sweatshirt in the store, it's just the hood itself has to be down right?

Never heard of this. Interesting

T4RFTMFW · Mar 18, 2018

Some call it courtesy, so people who work for wages that don’t justify risking their life have a general feeling that you’re not there to kill them for $73 and some cigarettes.

It’s not cold inside, or bright. Be a decent human and remove your face mask, hood, and dark ass glasses.

T4RFTMFW · Mar 18, 2018

Or, fuck right off per their store policy.

So you joined a truck forum just to bitch about your 7-11 experience in a 8 year old thread?
