7-ELEVEN Franchise Blues – A Protest Song (An UnhappyFranchisee.Com Original)

7-Eleven Franchise Blues - A Protest Song(UnhappyFranchisee.Com) 7-Eleven Franchise Blues – A Protest Song is a satirical remake of Tennessee Ernie Ford’s classic “16 Tons,” except instead of the plight of coal miner’s, the focus is on the plight of 7-Eleven franchisees who claim they are victims of a predatory and exploitive scheme run by Dallas-based 7-Eleven, Inc. and its Tokyo-based overlords, retail giant Seven and i Holdings.

States the intro:

“A lawsuit filed by more than 1200 7-Eleven franchisees alleges that the company’s ‘Asset Protection’ team stalks, bullies and harasses innocent franchisees with the goal of seizing the valuable franchises some spent decades building.

“Under the leadership of CEO Joe DePinto, the Japanese-owned company then resells the franchises for windfall profits, the suit alleges.”

 

7-Eleven Franchise Blues – A Protest Song

by Franchisee Ernie Ford

 

I bought a 7-Eleven & what did I get?

Stalked & bullied & deep in debt.

Asset Protection says I must go…

My Store’s being re-sold by Joe DePinto!

 

From Mumbai to Delhi to Bangalore

They dream of running a convenience store

They pool their money & American Dreams

Of selling ice-cold Slurpees & magazines

 

Big Brother is watching with cameras & more

He sees every corner of every store

He’s watching from Dallas but don’t you know?

He takes his orders from Tokyo

 

If you see their lawyers better run and hide

Franchisees didn’t & a lot of them cried

If they want your store, no chance you stand

When Joe says he needs another hundred grand

 

I bought a 7-Eleven & what did I get?

Stalked & bullied & deep in debt.

Asset Protection says I must go…

My Store’s being re-sold by Joe DePinto!
