Won't it be a good thing for 711 and walkable stores in the area? Convenience stores can come up with ideas for people to pass their time beyond shopping and coffee/food. Maybe game kiosks like you see in bars that allow people to stand and stretch their legs instead of sitting in a car? They don't take up that much space. Maybe even a couple of restaurant style tables for people to eat, drink or just hang out.

Under the assumption that Y is not only less than X but substantially less than X, they'd need to find a lot of methods to extract money form those customers, which ends up with their own risks and costs.
