7- 1 1 day
The annual July 1 1 is "7- 1 1 day". It is believed that this tradition was created by 7-Eleven in Taiwan Province Province. The earliest purpose is to hope that logistics units will not forget the hard work of first-line stores. Therefore, this day is chosen every year, and all employees of 7-Eleven Logistics Unit in Taiwan Province Province, including all senior executives, will go to the store to work for one day. Later, other countries followed suit, but for different purposes. In the United States, 7- 1 1 Day is defined as a celebration. Every year, 7- 1 1 all over the United States will provide free slurpee on this day. In Japan, 7- 1 1 day has two days, except July 1 1. On this day, all Japanese 7-Eleven will clean the lanes around the shops, which is currently listed as one of the work items of 7- 1 1 Day in Taiwan Province Province.
