Beware the Dizziness Centre

I'd like to see the Dizziness Doctor, please
I’d like to see the Dizzi­ness Doc­tor please

That’s for when your head’s still spin­ning from dis­cov­er­ing that your friendly neigh­bour­hood 7-Eleven, which is sup­posed to be open 24 hours — wasn’t one of their taglines ‘always close but never closed’? — isn’t open 24 hours:

WTF? It's a 7-11 for gawd's sakes
Tau­fik was really dis­ap­pointed he could only sell Slurpees* 13 hours a day

*Inter­est­ingly, while look­ing up hyper­links for this post, I found out that 7-Eleven Sin­ga­pore “has four pro­pri­etary prod­ucts — Big Gulp, Slurpee, Mr Sof­tee soft serve ice cream and Quick­bites”, which, if I take the mean­ing of that cor­rectly, means that those things are owned by the Sin­ga­pore fran­chise, and which explains why I couldn’t find Slurpees in other coun­tries (unless I didn’t look hard enough, which is also pos­si­ble, because I couldn’t have pos­si­bly been han­ker­ing for a Slurpee in another country’s 7-Eleven, could I? No, I don’t think so).
