Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens, who was not in uniform, got angry at a Burger King drive-thru when his order was not the way he wanted it. So, he called for backup. Sheriff Owens had three deputies dispatched to the fast food restaurant as he waited in the parking lot. The deputies' bodycams captured their interaction with Owens as he asked them to go inside and take down the names of the manager and assistant manager so that he could file an official complaint. The workers inside had locked the doors to the restaurants because they were afraid that Owens was going to get violent. But the deputies convinced them to unlock them and then they provided their names. Critics are accusing Owens of abusing his power. Owens says, "I was not in my uniform, and at no point in my interaction with the staff did I identify myself as a member of the law enforcement community. At no point did I indicate my position, nor did I ask the responders to do anything that they would not, had not, or have not done for anyone else who makes a business dispute call."
Seven & I Holdings, the Tokyo-based parent company of 7-Eleven, has announced that it’ll close 444 locations of the convenience chain due to inflation, slower customer traffic, and declining cigarette sales. The company reported a drop in store traffic of 7.3-percent in August, which it said corresponded with the “pullback of the middle- and low-income consumer.” The closures, which will be locations in the US and Canada, make up just over 3-percent of the more than 13,000 7-Eleven stores.
