Foodservice shakeups
Multiple c-store chains, including 7-Eleven, Pilot Co. and Kwik Trip, have halted self-serve food and beverage options in their stores, including items from roller grills, coffee bars, soda fountains, condiment bars, soup bars, bakery cases and more. Chains are requiring clerks or foodservice staff to serve these items to customers instead of patrons grabbing them themselves.
Beyond halting self-serve foodservice, various chains have also discontinued the use of reusable cups and are resorting to disposable options for the foreseeable future.
