Product placement

7-Eleven: APPEARS - a convenience store chain, its logo is visible on the building and inside. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. All Cafe: APPEARS - a cafe brand within 7-Eleven, its logo is visible on the door. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
