Seems it's the same with the 7-Eleven's and (I assume) FamilyMart's in Thailand as well.
I know in 7-Eleven in Thailand it's possible to get car insurance, buy airplane tickets, probably concert tickets, etc...
And also open 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
I'm quite happy our village in Thailand recently got their own 7-Eleven. And it looks like excellent business for the people that started the franchise in our village. Always customers inside at day time and even at night quite often people buying stuff.
I like that I now have a shop nearby where I can buy milk, or a fresh cappuchino. Other mini marts in our village would not offer those products.
Even better in Taiwan. You get deliveries, pay bills, etc, along with much better food.
Plus, many 7-Eleven stores in Thailand close overnight or on weekends, especially if it's not a busy area and there is little customers at 3 in the morning.
In Thailand you generally cannot buy something at an online shop and come retrieve it from your local 7/11 while in Taiwan it's often a practical and cheaper delivery mechanism
I don't mean delivery of products from 7/11 (to save what 2 minutes of walking?)
In the Philippines, you can pay for your bills on any 7-11 store: electricity, water, phone, cable TV, internet, even pay for ship or plane tickets (because not many Filipinos own credit cards).
You were hellbanned years ago, so sadly a lot of your comments about life in the Philippines have been in vain. You might want to reach out to HN, maybe some sort of automation fucked up.
