Hah! 7-Eleven ends relationship with Venezuela-backed Citgo as gas supplier

They will switch to their own brand of fuel. Good for them!

Update I: This doesn’t appear to be related to Chavez’s comments last week, but the thought that he’ll get ticked off by the announcement is enough for me

Update II: Correction: 7-Eleven is saying that the move “was partly motivated by politics.” (Hat tip: ST reader Karl)

Mr. Hugo Chavez,

There are 2 rules of customer service.

Rule #1. The customer is always right.

Rule #2. When the customer is wrong, refer to Rule #1.

I think Hugo the Troll completely misjudged the situation in America. He thought that giving out some cheap oil and then slamming Bush would stir some sort of “revolution”.

I’m certainly no fan of Clinton, but if some dirtbag got up in front of the UN and slammed him like that, I would feel the exact same way.

Chavez is a moron.

Citgo boycott: A productive protest or a waste of bandwidth?

Several times over the last year or so, Hugo Chavez has opened his pie hole and spewed some anti Bush or anti American vitriol. And each time his ranting has been reported, on its heels comes the call to Boycott his gasoline company, Citgo.
The latest…
