7-Eleven

If I could give them zero stars I would. Just got yelled at by the rudest employee I’ve ever had to deal with. My tea cup yorkie that was at the front door and not even «in» the store was such a big issue for him, he needed to tell and me and be a nasty human being but having homeless people inside the store and in front of the store was clearly allowed… I am definitely calling the general manager now! Don’t ever give these people your hard earned money because it is acceptable to hire nasty women hating employees!!!

My go to place for snacks. They have an awesome selection of just random candy and chocolate.

Decent place to stop for water if I’ve forgotten mine en route to gym. Store is pushy to buy 2 when they’re on sale even when told «no thanks, I know I’d be better off — but don’t want to carry two». I’ve never eaten any of the hot food so can’t speak to that — priced better than Duane Reade for snacks though

I came here a handful of times for the Slurpees and chili cheese dogs.
This location is constantly dirty and not well-​maintained the handful of times I’ve been here. I’ve had to ask them to re-​fill the chili and cheese for the hot dogs on 2 of the handful of times I’ve been here. The Slurpee section is always a mess as well and 1 or 2 flavors are always out of commission for some reason.
The workers here are always rude and grumpy. If you don’t want to work there, then don’t. It’s as simple as that, but they continue to be as least helpful as possible. Just sheer laziness, I guess.
I wouldn’t recommend this particular location if it can be avoided, but it still gets the job done of being a 7-​Eleven.

EPIC FAIL!!!
I was looking forward to my free Slurpee last night after work. Since it was sticky and humid I wanted one bad. Get to the store and guess what — that’s right — the machine is magically broken! The two guys behind the counter were no help at all and were kind of grumpy. «No Slurpees!» was all they would say. Plus, I saw that the cups they were giving out for this were the size of a friggin Dixie Cup that you use when brushing your teeth. A few people were standing around with them staring at the machine begging for it to start pumping out Slurpees.
WTF!!! I left and headed for the other 7 – 11 in my hood.

Not bad, stopped by for a quick water and hot dog after a bar, and they were fast and clean. The store was pretty well-​lit and clean, too. The sauerkraut, however, was still frozen. Not sure if that’s good or bad… but at least no flies.
Didn’t see wings here, though.

C’mon you guys were selling me cigarettes illegally when I was 16. Why start IDing me now when I’m 22? But thanks for that free coffee that one time.

Just too easy to get a coffee and a couple of donuts here. as well as the flavored iced coffees, hot chocolate and slurpees from the machines.
Like the fact that I can tap my credit card (from Chase tap and go) and pay real quick and easy even if Im spending under $ 2.00

I am viscerally opposed to (almost) all that is 7 – 11.
But… Coke Slurpee = SHAZAAAMmmm-​good!

7 – 11, or SLeven within my circle of friends… is like a bodega. for the suburbs. thats clean.
I loved slevens cause they never close. always have the essentials — food, beer, cigarettes.
3 taquitos for $ 3, 2 regular big bites for $ 2 and free chili and cheese were my staple drunk foods. we used to take advantage of some free chili and cheese, let me tell you. we’d buy the box of chips and then a bag of tostitos. we’d pour the box of chips into our grocery bag and then fill the box full of chili and cheese with jalapenos, onions, tomatos. winners.
oh yeah… and slurpees on a hot summer day. sitting with my friends outside of sleven sipping on a slurpee and smoking cigarettes…*sigh* the memories.
too bad nyc is too polluted with bodegas that carry decade old canned goods rather than my nice, clean, drunk-​friendly, 7−11s from back at home. but hey you cant have everything every where. plus… i dont really think it would work in this big bad city.

Contrary to popular belief, Gatorade is not the most effective «thirst quencher» nor does it rehydrate The Body with fluids most efficiently.
The no.1 beverage (half-​frozen beverage, if you want to be a stickler, but still under the general category of «beverage») is a Slurpee. I believe that the florescent yellow flavor provides the most nutrients, but really, any color/​flavor combination will do. As long as it changes the color of your tongue — minor side effect of super-​fast patented electrolyte replenishment.
Right now I’m dying for a Slurpee after my run. I need to replenish The Body!
Isn’t New York supposed to be all righteous? Where are the damned 7 Elevens? When I was growing up in the ‘burbs of Seattle, there was a store at every bus stop. When will New York catch up?

Thank you Jesus for Slurpies! Amen.
