Noticed this on the website... 18% Gratuity charged for parties of four or more
EDIT:
I just noticed that the website is broken and gives you the details for the Ohio location no matter which location you select so this rule may not apply here.
I think it opened on Thursday or so.. They've been having a price war with the 7-11..
It's funny until a few weeks ago, I didn't even know there was still a 7-11 in the Greenville area! Being from Pennsylvania, I was told they all were gone here. Then I took Harrison Bridge Road one day around the holidays to avoid the traffic getting back to I-385 on Fairview Road and was shocked to see one. I've since learned there are a few on the other side of town on Wade Hampton.
Been in the South now for 25 years, so 7-11s actually bring back memories of my childhood going to get Slurpees.

That's somewhat standard for large tables but kind of insane for a party of 4.

They bought out Hickory Point/Palms stores in the Upstate and started rebranding some of them as 7-Eleven in mid 2013.

7-11 was here in the late 70's, I believe.. I seem to remember them when I was a kid.. If i'm not mistaken (and I could be).. 7-11 in the upstate, at least, sold and all became "The Pantry" or "Fast Fare" in the late 70's. Then, when I moved to the DC area, they were everywhere.
The Hickory Point purchase reintroduced their presence in the upstate.. And, I don't think there's a whole lot of them.. 10 or so? There were far more Hickory Points than that, but the locations that couldn't be upgraded to 7-11 standards were sold off yet again.. The Clinton and Laurens locations are two that come to mind. I think someone mentioned perhaps Inman or Boiling Springs had one that couldn't be upgraded as well.
There was, and may still be, a 6-12 convenience store chain in the MD area that was something of an FU to 7-11.

The only 7/11s I remember were the one on Georgia Rd in Simpsonville, the building I think is still there, and the one that use to be in Laurens across from the Miliken plant, which IIRC burned down and the "Rapid Stop" was built there, OR it was on the corner beside McDonalds. Wife said there was one in Clinton. They eventually became Fast Fares, which turned into Lil Crickets. The Pantry was rebranded Kaper House. Those were everywhere, but the main ones I recall were in Woodruff, and one in FT Inn, which was bought by my old boss and turned into offices. The old Kaper House signs were still in the back when the state demolished the building.
