7 Eleven is ripping off kids

The 7 Eleven store on the corner of Bubb and McClellan is doing a disservice to the community, especially when it's trying to rip off the kids by either giving not enough change or telling a wrong price. For kids who don't pay attention, they don't count the change. This is unacceptable and something must be done about that. The kids kno bout it, but not all the parents know. Because of this, some kids steal for revenge. So some day the whole situation will hurt the students for stealing because of the dishonesty of the vendor.

Some kids, who have a cell phone with photos and videos, should start recording when they buy as a proof of being ripped off.
