Consumers Respond to 7-Eleven’s Call to Action in Public Policy Petition Drive

Joe DePinto, president and CEO of 7-Eleven, Inc., is shown with some of the 14,000 petition pads containing 1.66 million signatures from 7-Eleven(R) stores' customers calling for fair credit card interchange fee legislation. DePinto and eight 7-Eleven store operators who collected the most signatures are headed to Washington, D.C., Sept 30 to present the signed petitions to their congressional representatives. If stacked on top of each other, the petition booklets, each with room for 270 signatures, would measure 311 feet tall, 33 feet taller than U.S. Capitol building. (Photo: Business Wire)
