But at no point did OP claim it was a scam? They even ask if this is normal for American franchises, instead of accusing 7-11 of predatory behavior.

> This feels like an American MLM scam

OP pretty directly implied it.

Is one no longer allowed to say "I wonder why thing A has properties that resemble thing B" without pretty directly implying "Thing A is exactly thing B"?

My hope was to have a conversation about whether the franchise model is bad in ways that have overtones of scams, or whether MLMs are only scams by virtue of the MLM bit and not because of any of the other behavior that is often called scammy, or any such thing, but apparently that was too much to ask.
