7-Eleven

Is Los Angeles, California just small change? Evidently 7 – 11 thinks so. Today, Friday February 12, 2016, a female 7 – 11 employee who is African American got a head start on celebrating President’s Day by robbing a 7 – 11 customer right at a 7 – 11 cash register. It happened at the 5501 South Figueroa Street 7 – 11 in Los Angeles, California, which is right near the University of Southern California and is open ²⁴⁄₇. The female employee took a twenty dollar bill for a purchase that was supposed to cost $ 4.35 plus sales tax and gave the customer back 65 cents. The female 7 – 11 employee pretended to check a security camera to see what kind of bill the customer gave her while a male 7 – 11 employee verified to the customer that the customer had, in fact, given his co-​worker a twenty dollar bill. This same male 7 – 11 employee, however, refused to give the customer his cell phone to call the police. Also at the 5501South Figueroa St. location in Los Angeles, an African American came in and picked up a free large fountain drink that he filled himself and walked right out in front of two male Latino 7 – 11 employees without paying. He simply scooted out and jumped into a late model grey Toyota. One of those same employees has over-​charged me a dollar for a small coffee. When will this stop?

I stopped by this location on Friday 10÷09÷15, and I was sorely disappointed by the incompetence of the staff and complete lack of basic customer service skills.
There was a black girl and a skinny Arab guy manning two registers and a line of people waiting to check out and some guy walks in and right away is allowed to cut in front of everyone by the clueless black girl.
It was mind boggling and to make matters even worse when I protested, the skinny little guy who obviously doesn’t know hows to say hello or thank you, rudely drops the change in my hand all while completely avoiding eye contact as if I was wrong for pointing out the obvious. The truth be said 7 – 11, I would have enjoyed my experience a whole lot more with a vending machine or a self check out option vs. two morons disguised as clerks.
What a shame!!!

I must average out my stars because there are truly two establishments apparently doing business under the same name. They are, for all intents and purposes, completely separate– the gas station and the convenience store next door.
I’m not a fake or a shill, which seems that other reviewers might be. I really live down the street and I don’t give a cr@p what kind of coffee they have., I don’t look.
The gas station is still under staffed, rude and over priced. The convenience store does not suck.
The employees do their level best to serve folks in a timely manner. Really. They are great. I think it’s obnoxious that 7 – 11’over works their staff, leaving one employee to handle the cash register, the store and make whatever new toasted sandwiches are on the latest menu. Amazingly, there’s not one employee who complains about this over load… maybe they don’t see how peeved the waiting customers are getting.
But. Every employee greets every customer with a smile and engages in conversation, no matter how meaningless. Without complaint, staff do what they must: toast a sandwich while other customers stand waiting. they find a pizza container or weird brand of cigarettes hidden amongst the shelves. The employees do their jobs to the utmost and they’re darned nice about it. They even defend the store so as to not receive a bad Unilocal review. Apparently these people Like Their jobs.
Two thumbs up.

The best 7 – 11 on this side of Del Mar. Kidding… it is the only one. I like the special offers… such as 2 for $ 3 bottled water…2 Quest bars for $ 5 etc. The employees are very friendly. I never need to wait in line even though it is very busy here in the afternoon. Drop by and ask for a tour! Just kidding about the tour… don’t do that.

I’ve mostly had great experiences here. Their gas prices are cheap especially in this neck of the woods. Download the GasBuddy app and compare the gasoline prices within a two mile radius from here. I think you might be pleasantly surprised.
I don’t usually come here during the mornings so I know it’s a different crew that works that shift. The evening crew, Ruben and Elmer, are awesome. They’re friendly with their customers and the store is always organized and well stocked.
Oh, and they carry craft beers too! Friend bought a Ballast Point 22oz sculpin there the other week.
Plus, they promised to tell me if they see another Chargers stop by (TIP: take a look at the autographs on their wall next time) !
They used to have more freshly brewed coffees on hand but I’ve noticed the varieties diminishing on my last few morning visits. And their pre made sandwiches are actually pretty good.
I think they’re only open til 11p or so. Not sure though (but they’re def not open 24 hours). Regardless, this is my fave 7-​Eleven. There ya go.

Who says that?!? «This guy is taking all of my change!!! «Like isn’t this place a place of business and I’m here to freaking spend money, what else !! And this employee of a piece of garbage makes a smart ass comment to me, when in fact I’m spending money at this tacky, cluster fudge of an establishment !! Never going here unless last place on earth!

Great 7– Eleven. Much better than most. They have kona blend coffee (my favorite) with all the fixings at a very affordable price. I’ve been going there for more than 3.5 years — the staff is always friendly and know me by name (makes me feel very special). Did I mention that many of the staff are bi-​lingual — yup, they can speak Spanish also. What’s not to like.

Very old and outdated building. This gas station needs a major makeover.
Gas prices are always ²⁰⁄₃₀ cents higher then other stations around.
The only good thing about this place is its location — right off the freeway exit.

A girl resembling a troll behind the counter pulled my husband out of line as if to assist him at a second register. He pulled his debit card out to pay and she said no debit at this register; you’ll have to get back in line behind this other four people. Are you fucking kidding me bitch? Terrible service and ugly «customer service» workers.

This place has no concept of costumer service. Lady pulls me out of the line, since I was next in a line of 5, then tries to ring me up. Then proceeds to tell me no debit and instructs me that I need to get back into the line at the end. Needless to say I told her to go fuck her self and left

Came in here to grab some drinks for a lunch I was giving and was happy to find that they had cold 2 liters! That really helps me save a ton of $ and it is sorta rare to find them chilled anywhere.
The staff are really helpful. There were two young ladies working and they offered to help me bring my stuff to my car and were really good at greeting me and saying goodbye.
I will be back for sure.

Cheapest gas within a few miles, polite staff, typical 7 – 11 convenience. I usually have more to say but this is my gas station. I heart it.

Ok

Times spent here are never forgotten. This place has always been there for me through the good times and the bad. There is a special feeling I get when I enter this holy of holy temple. One that will never compare. One that will never be forgotten.
I fell in love with this place when got a job on High Bluff which is just a minute down Del Mar Heights Road. I would always come in here for a supreme cup of coffee where the options were endless. Also I partook in great feasts which could be described as «unbridled glory». Decent selection of beer for a gas station as well. Nothin like a Modelo and hot dog in the morn. That my friend is breakfast of a warrior about to take on his day.
The people you come across here are quite lovely as well. Whether its strikin up a conversation with your fellow local while stirring the cream into your Kona blend or talking about the lovely weather with the temple workers while purchasing your items at the register… this is the place to enjoy life and be grateful for what you have during this short time here on this planet.
We only live once. We must embrace our time here on Earth. Take a moment to reflect on life and reflect on the future with help through this temple. Trust me. This place there for you. If you are having a bad day, or you’re gearing up for a crazy weekend, this temple is a temple to lean on. When I think of this temple I think of that tune «Lean on Me». Think of that tune the next time you drive past, and remember who you are. Remember that ⁷⁄₁₁ is there.

I often stop here in the morning on the way back to the office, when I do go the Kona blend coffee is always hot and fresh, and the staff of older ladies behind the counter have always greeted me with a warm smile. Only downside is the lines at the counter, but for good inexpensive coffee it’s worth it.
Warning though, the lot is small, so be careful backing out.

for some reason i can get Kona coffee here. while other 7-eleven’s don’t seem to have it.
the staff is always friendly…
my kids love coming here to get slurpee’s after baseball/​soccer games which are usually around the corner.
there is a gas station adjacent if i’m desperate for pricey gas.
i will continue to come back… its the only 7-​eleven in del mar.

Usually a 7-​Eleven is a bit nicer, cleaner, bigger than this. Oddly, in Del Mar, I would expect something beautiful and modern. Not the case.
The clerk was rude, the setup odd, the selection small, and the bathroom was tucked away in a side building with another rude clerk, and didn’t have a lock.
Pretty gross. Go elsewhere.

This 7-​Eleven store carries «retro candy.» Chick-​O-​Stick FTW!

The employees always smile. You don’t see that to offend.
