7-Eleven

It’s a 7 eleven, it’s convenient, open late. oh wait.
Their cashiers are pretty grumpy looking most the times but its a ⁷⁄₁₁. Also, on more than a few occasion they shorted me change (like between 55 cents and 5 dollars something), and made it the longest hassle to get the rest of my monies. And as some patrons said, some of their «deals», they dont give to you. and if you ask them about it, they’ll give some bullshit response.
It’s gotten so ridiculous (their deals and lack of giving them as they should), i’ve been frequenting a liquor store a block away that’s on average 5−10% more expensive. worth it.

This is by far my favorite 7-​Eleven location in Berkeley, its a little bit smaller than some, but it definitely has its perks. This location has its own private parking lot with plenty of easily accessible spaces, which makes it easy to run in for a single item or to drop off a movie rental. Also, I love that they have a large Amazon locker, more times than not; I’ve had deliveries go missing at home, but this service always keeps my mind at ease, no more worries.

Convenient walk for those of us who live near Bowditch/​Parker area. We only come here for slurpees, and always for Free Slurpee Day.
The Citibank ATM machine saved my butt one day, though, when I desperately needed cash. This is the only 7-​Eleven location where I encountered a Citibank ATM machine. Strange.

Would give zero stars if possible.
BOYCOTT THIS STORE. Srsly, they sell expired products.
This was not the first time I bought something expired from this store. However, this time I went back to the store to complain. I checked the rest of the stock of the same ice cream I bought and lo and behold they were ALL expired.
I couldnt believe it. I got stomach issues the previous time i purchased it but didnt think much of it because I didnt connect it back to the ice cream. So this time when I went back I told them about the expired ice cream I bought and the entire line of expired ice cream they had in stock.
And can you believe that the manager got angry with me? He got incredibly hostile claiming, «This is not your business, this is mine!!!» So, its your business and not mine (a customer) to get customers sick???
Ffs.

hell yeah 711 is the best. sometimes i dont cook and i dont have food at home so i come here to 711. at 711 i can buy whatever i want and i can eat it. i can buy beer too because i am old enough. my favorite thing to buy here is the hot funyun rings. i also buy milk here too. the milk here is cheaper than in walgreens or safeway.
sometimes when you are paying and you need some money they are so nice they give you a few pennies whenever you need them.

One of the few 7/11’s in the state that was too greedy to do the Slurpee Bring Your Own Cup Day promotion. The man behind the counter is almost always incredibly smug, and I never enjoy visiting this place. Its only redeeming factor is that its pretty clean.

One of the worst ever. I’ve only ever been here bc I was desperate for milk, and I didn’t want to drive all the way to Oakland just for some milk. Or in the past when I didn’t have a car. They always make the milk more expensive and never update the milk prices that are posted correctly. Last time I went, ALL the signs clearly say «2 for $ 6.59». I think, that’s an ok price. Expensive, but ok. I go to the counter to pay for it. $ 7.38. I ask them, the sign says it’s $ 6.59, why the is it $ 7.38? The excuse is that they change prices every Monday. Ok, that’s a really lame excuse. If you change the prices, change the signs as well? Seems like something simple to do. I really wanted the milk, so I just paid for it, but like I said, I never come here unless I’m desperate, and after so many years, it’s sad to see that this place is the same. I guess one redeeming factor is that they have an Amazon Locker, which brings some traffic, I guess.

Yes it has all the wonders of slurpees, taquitos, free chili and all that, and yes it is a bit overpriced. But hey, you pay for convenience and for college students an extra block down to CVS can be insurmountable at times (1 block extra is 2 round trip!) That said they have a weekly sale on chips or candy like 2 bags of sour patch for $ 2 or 2 big bags of Doritos or Lays for $ 5.
Oh for anyone wondering about that outspoken contingent in favor of Blue Amp, its goodness matches our crazy and 7 – 11 should be commended for carrying such a rare and delicious product. Joe’s Tea as well. Peach tea or the raspberry tea, the latter which they unfortunately don’t seem to have anymore, are addicting.
Last thing is they have an Amazon locker in the bag which = free fast shipping and no packages stolen off your door step. My heart would be won by this 7 – 11 except for the fact that it closes ridiculously early at midnight.

Meh… limited variety of Greek Yogurt Ben & Jerry’s. :(

How is a 7 – 11 not 24/​7, especially when you’re right by a big college campus? oh well, no one will ever be able to answer that…
it’s a normal 7−11… nachos that are good when you’re drunk, munchies for when you blaze, and gatorade for when you play basketball
Nice and clean… just closed when you would most need them

I have been to this 7Eleven location many times since my freshman year in college. My freshman year, my friends and I would walk here every Friday to get slurpees. To this day, I get the same Cherry/​Coke flavor combination. Unfortunately, the Cherry flavor is basically foam here so it’s a waste to put too much in your cup.
Aside from my cherry flavor foam complaint there is the issue of customer service. I was once charged full price for a slurpee refill and was told by the male cashier that refill prices went up (to the price of a nonrefill!) which was a complete lie. On another occassion I witnessed the female owner chase a customer throughout the store screaming at him (no exaggeration here) because he left the condiment bar a little messy. By «a little messy» I mean that there was literally just a spoon and napkin at the condiment bar justifying this screaming. This woman was on a rampage and told this male customer that he may never return to this 7Eleven location because he left a «mess.» This poor guy just wanted a hotdog.
Well, as a result of the poor customer service and the screaming incident I witnessed, I will not return here. I will be walking the to 7Eleven on College avenue from now on.

this 7 – 11 store is about average sized which is cramped. parking lot huge but few parking spaces
pour: brazilian dark roast coffee (s.1.35)
–disappointing, very harsh, maybe sat around too long
2 stars
drips:
–cashier, friendly, had good attituede
3 stars at minimum

This is the Campus 7-​Eleven on Telegraph Avenue. This one is no better or worse than any other, just convenient. Besides indulging in an occasional and un-​PC Big Gulp, I have also used it as a convenient meeting or drop-​off location.

I love my sev-​lev in my hometown. This one, not so much. I have been here twice to get a slurpee and both times the slurpee machine did not have a good consistency. Way too watery! BLEHEHHRG
Also I had a taquito there once and it was one of the grossest things I have ever
boyfriend would like to interject here to add, «it was not that gross». It was jalapeño cream cheese flavor. Note the key word flavor… not sure what it was actually made of. It was tough and luke warm and gross. Even for convenience store food.
There are also always hobos and creepy drunk men in front of the store hanging around the bus stop. One time one peed in a trashcan in front of me. It was disgusting.
From now on I will ride my bike to the one a block farther away on college because this one sucks.

7 – 11 has what you need, especially on random thirsty Tuesday nights when you’re in need of ping pong balls…
But what I don’t need is attitude from a particular 7 – 11 cashier, especially when she was commenting on my inebriated «composure» (it’s COMPLEXION) right in my face to a customer right behind me. Not necessary at all. At least talk about my complexion after I leave!

Went in to get a $ 1 refill of coffee and the cashier tells me that this franchise store charges $ 1.29! This is a misrepresentation. Do not patronize this business.

This branch is great!
The employees are such sweet hearts, it’s amazing. They understand my iced French vanilla craving and they go out of their way to make sure I get my fix — so that means machine working, cups filled, and smiles all around. I grew up next to a 7-​Eleven and it’s always great to have employees that are nice, thorough and are all-​out kind.
I also buy my bi-​monthly milk & eggs and they’re deals are great! I also like how they are always surprised I never use a plastic bag and say, «Oh, you good boy!» every single time!
4 stars because the lay out of the store can be fixed and they need some cheaper asian product vendors: P Also, frequent customer discount? Lol.

Not the most friendly 7 – 11, but they have your bare essentials. Most of your local bums will be outside waiting for your change.

beware… this one doesn’t open 24 hours. it closes at 12…
Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of a 7 – 11?!

Back in the day, 7-​eleven actually opened from 7 am to 11 pm, which to old people was 24 hours.
