    I'm not sure how she is our worker....as she works at a 7-11 in Connecticut, USA.

    Remarkable story none the less and her last name is Sherpa... very apropos.

    if you read the thread it was corrected to YOUR 7/11 work not OUR - typo in the title that I cannot fix (Mod note: FIXED).

    Sherpa is a name/ethnic group. Most nepalese originated from that area of Nepal are called Sherpa XXX

    but yes agree, amazing story. Relatively good year on Everest this year with over 300 summits and "only" 6 death so far.

    Are they paid that poorly that she has to supplement by working at 7-11 ?
    or
    Is she the owner of the 7-11 in question....

    I have doubts that she is a minimum wage worker. I was under the impression that the Sherpa guides were paid quite well for their work.
