7-Eleven

This place is unpleasant.
The people behind the counter are rude and really seem like they hate their job and the people who come in. Reminds me of Clerks, really. They snatch your money out of your hand, and jerk out the receipt and throw it on the counter and walk away.
I have been in there pretty much 5 mornings a week for 2 years and its like this every day.
God forbid you want coffee, too. The Mexican Starbucks means you will be waiting 10 minutes and be left with a huge mess, coffee and creamer everywhere, and the coffee containers are all empty.
No bathroom.
I went to play lotto one day — no slips to fill out.
But then again, this is like every 7 – 11 in LA. I should just stay away.

pretty good bananas I buy a redbull here too sometimes

I hate this 711 just because everytime i try to use offers or get rewards the idiots behind the counter dont know what they’re doing or do they just dont want us to get free stuff, idiots dont even know what theyre doing. I know this cuz my friend who happens to work for a corporate store knows these people dont know what theyre doing and franchise stores are never trained properly. And when i did try to use the app this guy had an attitude when i get his name i will update. I always try to avoid this store when using the app unless i come in for something simple and quick but i usually just go to other 711s.

They advertise free slurpees and then when you arrive… false advertising… Dom much for 7 – 11 on 7−11…Southland Corporation can be Wall Street

This should’ve been an easy 5 stars, but unfortunately they have a dude working behind the counter who was more interested in flirting with some ladies than ringing up his actual customers. And there are a LOT of loiterers here. Some interesting ladies were seated in the parking lot, some dudes drinking out of bags layed out on the floor… may not be the ideal location to stop by for a slushy.

I love that they have diet 7up. It is very hard to find that or Diet Sprite at any store. Thank you for also having an ATM inside for my convenience.

This is a good location to stop by for a snack once in a good while. They have the drinks from beer that’s a good selection, wine, and all the soda with the big gulp if you’re willing to go for it. It’s pricy so it’s Not Thrifty for sure. Staff can be selected much more better. Some are great people however the young ones can be a drag Jusy to talk to.

Not very bright employee refused to cash my $ 2 winning lotto ticket. He said his boss told him to shut off the lotto machine at 8pm. I asked for further explanation since I had just used their machine to check my ticket and confirm that I had won $ 2. He pointed to the lotto sign that posted the cutoff times for buying tickets, he didn’t seem to understand that those cutoff times were for buying tickets for a drawing that night and that didn’t mean he was supposed to shut off the machine. He just played dumb and pretended not to understand and blamed his boss. Then another customer got impatient and tried to cut in front of me saying «Hey I don’t have time for this, let me just pay for this and you can deal with your sh*t later.» When I objected, the other customer and his companion, two large and threatening men started to verbally abuse me and physically intimidate me. All the while, the employee was laughing like he was just some bystander and not someone who was in charge of the store and the safety of those who enter the store. I felt threatened and unsafe, so I left.
Aside from the fact that the only employee acts like a cashier monkey who has no authority over his store, I find the trend of playing dumb and blaming the boss at many locations that I’ve been to to be off-​putting and insulting, and it reminds me why I do my best to avoid all 7 Elevens whenever I can.

If you have limited funds and are normally not in fear for your safety, this is the place to stand outside of and watch the dredges of society all congregate. Former crackheads, current meth heads, alcoholics and pot smokers all unite at this place during the late night hours.
I always wondered where all my tax dollars go, now I now. Welfare is accepted at this fine establishment.

Quick stop lord was this store a mess, the parking alone was an accident just waiting to happen! i am not rating this 7 – 11 good at all i don’t know if it was from all the people going in and out of there rushing in to buy beer and other beverages for Father’s Day or what but the parking lot was a mess and the line was too long! Terrible all the way around…

Ok so the cashier was extra nice told me thank you and have a good day. Just shocked me that was a first for me at ant 7-​eleven. They have several sugar free icee flavors which I think is awesome because kids drink them too loved the mango and cherry mixture i did!!!

Slurpee!
And the usual 7−11… which actually just disgusted me that I used to eat way more taquitos than any person ever should.
This place was clean, convenient, and plenty of parking (although the 3 minute parking signs are a bit laughable…).

Out of most of the 7-​Elevens’ I have been to, this one is some how the coolest one. It does have many stuff inside that are a bit overpriced, like most of them (cheap mother f*ckers). I’ve been to a couple over the years, and this one stands out more than the rest.
Okay, it’s just another 7-​Eleven, nothing speacial, nothing really different. It’s not like the first thing you come in here your going to sh*t yourself because of how awesome it is. The one thing about this one is how clean it is, especailly because of the area. It’s located next to a Food-​4-​Less that is nothing in the morning, then turns into a food spot that infested with nothing but bums and mexicans (Im not lieing). The prices are the same: the slushies are the same (it’s pretty f*cken good for the price). The clerks treat you better here than anywhere else. You won’t have an Indian mother f*cker that follows your every move.

This 7 – 11 should by no means have a four star rating. I guess it used to be some kind of beer mecca, but now all it is is an uncomfortable place to buy crappy, overpriced food and lukewarm, sour coffee.
Seriously, what is wrong with the coffee here now? They have like 75 gigantic containers and even when they’re 3 minutes old the coffee is disgustingly strong. Most of the containers contain hours-​old coffee that is now strong, lukewarm and sour. Yay!!! If you ask the motley crew of employees which coffee is the freshest they have strange responses, alternating from outright hostility to an uncomfortable exchange in which they blame the other employees for cold coffee and then set about to making a new, intolerably intense batch. 2 stars for the bounty of splenda and decent cocoa. Also for the few male employees who are relatively normal, like the guy with the curly hair and glasses and the middle-​aged guy with the ruddy face,
Unfortunately, the majority of the employees are strangely silent and relatively hostile, I’ve noticed. I actually hate walking into this place. It’s like you have to parade past them while they judge you for coming in and bothering their quiet time.
And also, this place is ALWAYS closed at night. No sign, no explanation, just closed and locked, employees nowhere to be seen. Once we went late at night and it was locked (yet again) and my friend kicked the glass door and it cracked, It was awesome.

Super Mega 7-​Eleven…
Another favorite thing of mines in Highland Park.

I came into this 7 – 11 looking to grab a big gulp cup so that I could conceal my Bootleggers Brewery Knuckle Sandwich DIPA for when I was going to do a taco stand/​truck crawl over on York blvd.
But to my surprise I realize that this 7 – 11 isn’t just any old 7 – 11. While they still have a vast amount of tall boys and other ghetto-​fab beers you would find your local wine-​o drinking, sitting on the cold shelf in the fridge section is some really good and uncommon to even most Bevmo’s beers.
For example they had various Port Brewing Mongo sitting right next to Wipe out IPA. This is unheard of for a 7 – 11 to carry a craft beer like that.
The price wasn’t even that bad at around $ 6.99. It’s not more than a buck or so difference and you don’t even have to hit up a whole foods to find it. So I got to say, I was impressed.
Especially when I saw plenty of Stone beers there. both in sixer’s and bombers. That is very impressive for a 7 – 11 to carry. Really makes you rethink if that slurpee is what you really want to satisfy you on a hot So Cal summer day.

No longer the R&R 7 – 11, they are now just «another» 7 – 11; a cold, sterile, generic 7 – 11. The new owner even has taken pride in that he has gotten rid of everything that made it unique.
Really, there isn’t much reason in stopping here, unless there’s no other option. It’s just another soulless, corporate-​cloned 7 – 11.

I’m a 711 coffee devotee. I’ll take it over Starbucks ANY day!!! This 711 is nice and clean. There is always parking but getting out of the lot can be a bitch in the morning.
The main reason I’m writing this review is the great service I encountered here. I thought I lost/​left my wallet in the store. I went back in the afternoon and inquired with the manager. He was so nice, took my number, and told me that he would check the tapes. I ended up finding my wallet in my car (yikes, I felt like an idiot!) and went back two days later to let him know. He said he tried to call me because he watched the tape and said I walked out with wallet in hand. I thought that he totally went above and beyond in trying to help me.
I will continue to get my coffee fix here on the way to work!

I normally wouldn’t review a 7 – 11, but this place is much more than that! They stock specialty sodas for cheaper prices than Galco’s! Curiosity Cola (my favorite!), bottled Dr. Pepper from Dublin Tx, birch beer, root beer, orange cream, Cheerwine, etc were typically a dollar cheaper than other places. You name it they got it! Amazing selection.
Lots of beer choices too, but honestly I was all about the sodas at this place. There was a cop hanging around in the parking lot. but it was after 1 am. 1 am soda fix!

Writing a review of someplace this corporate is DEFINITELY not my style. But an exception must be made here. Too many rad freak occurrences have gone on at this 7 – 11; my 7 – 11.
I drove by a million times and thought, «Hah! Suckers. Yeah, I see your sign outside advertising all those delicious beers that I buy all the time like Anchor Steam. Too bad I’m on my way to Galco’s to support the independent.»
Then, one night when my roommate and I are having family dinner, my boyfriend shows up fairly late in the evening with some mighty enticing-​looking six packs in tow. And I’m not talking about Pabst Blue Ribbon. I’m too much of a beer snob to drink that crap. (Though, okay, I will confess, Miller High Life kinda does rule.) I say, «Damn, where’d you find frigging Liberty Ale this late at night?»
«That 7 – 11 at Ave 52 and Figueroa is awesome!» he declares. «It was almost like a liquor store, they had such a good beer selection! They were even playing good music!» Interesting. I shrugged it off and cracked a beer.
… until one night, The boyfriend, his roommate and I were riding our bicycles back to Echo Park from Pasadena (drunk, kinda.) We pulled into this very 7 – 11 for some Gatorade and snacks and they were playing the fucking soundtrack to «You Only Live Twice.» At two in the frigging morning! When we made a huge scene over it, the clerk looked at us with this expression like, «Um, yeah you losers, we always play this.» Awesome.
The last time I had buddies over for a barbeque, my friend Jonah came in with a twelver of some South American beer I had never heard of. It was really good. He said, «Yeah, I got it from that 7 – 11 right off the freeway. It was weird, they were, like, playing punk rock in there when I bought it.»
Best 7 – 11 ever.
