I have a neighbor (2 blocks away) who has a pot-belly pig as a pet. Friendly creature. Even my beagle gets along with him/her, it.

How does one hire a pig? (besides idiots and ignoramuses voting one in, I mean.)

  They only get 30 hours a week, which means the pick up their own healthcare costs

Can't imagine any Muslims would venture into this particular store...

  It must be a great morale booster for employees not to have to worry about a customer blowing himself up.

I think this is fun. I have thought of getting a pet pig...but they are sooo big and rather destructive. Could you imagine a burglar being chased out of the house by 3 German Shepherds and a 400 lb boar?

I saw many interesting things during trips to Bangkok, but this is a new one. Btw, 7-Elevens are ubiquitous in Bangkok.

A great idea - to keep muslim terrorists away from the stores!

Pig bouncers? Hmmm -- I never tried to bounce a pig; I had the impression they didn't bounce very well. Inflated pigskins, on the other hand, bounce quite well ......
