7-Eleven

Tried to redeem scratchers here for a simple ticket but the cashier didn’t know how to use the bar code scanner and refused to honor it. When I questioned the reason, he just ignored me and looked the other way. Rude service.

This place sucks. I was literally in front of the guy and attempted to order scratchers. While I ordered this dude said «NEEEEXT» I couldn’t believe my ears. I stayed in front of him, but I guess to him I was Invisible. I left immediately and said to myself «don’t beat him up» boy was i close. I’m very disappointed in him. I didn’t feel human when he skipped me. Smh

I like the amazon locker on colorado ave. more due to the parking issue. very difficult to find a spot here.

This place attracts the worst crowd and isn’t worth going to for anything except for an emergency item. Even the freaking milk I got from here went bad 4 days before the printed expiration probably due to poor refrigeration/​handling. Disgusting. If it can wait till tomorrow just go to Safeway or Whole Foods the next day.

Great deals like $ 5.55 pizza. The store is always clean, the staff is friendly.

It’s 7 – 11 dude!
Tatts & tit mags, lottery tickets, smokes, overpriced beer, cheap wine, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia.
And your occasional bumb axin for change.
Late night grubs after you spend your $ at the bars.

Sodas, snacks, coffee, beer, hot dogs, beef jerky and other snacks. Who doesn’t like 7 Eleven? I hadn’t been to this location so many times since I lived in Palo Alto 19 years ago. The place has changed a bit but other than that, it’s the same as I remember it. I used to go here on the weekends and play Street Fighter II when they used to have an arcade machine at the store. The game wasn’t here anymore but that’s okay, I didn’t have the time like I used to.
Grabbed a Super Big Gulp 2x in one day and then once another day. Loved the hot dogs and snacks.
Thanks for reading my review. This review is based off of my personal experience and opinion.

This 7-​Eleven is pretty sketchy in an otherwise very nice area.
The Good
They have a parking lot, are open 24 hours, and have a Redbox machine outside.
The Bad
Lots of loiterers just outside the door.

This would be a great store… if the store enforced an anti-​loitering policy.
Why?
The store has a small group of guys waiting just outside the door (on the Lytton side). They sometimes ask customers for money, cigarettes or food.
While the store is your run-​of-​the-​mill ⁷⁄₁₁ convenience store (sans gasoline), you can’t help but «take notice» of your surroundings. As a result, we feel a little less inclined to stop and shop here.
The parking lot of this store is small and crowded (people often park for the adjoining laundry mat), so your chances of actually finding a spot is low.
The video vending machine is great — but the lines are often extremely long. We have waited in line for 20 – 30 minutes just to return a DVD or Blu Ray. The line inside of the store is often long as well. So, this is actually a «not-​so-​convenient» store.
As is true of most convenience stores, the selection is limited and the prices are inflated about 25−50% over grocery stores. By 2 PM, the donuts are already quite old. They continue to sell them all night long. I have purchased stale donuts in the morning that tasted as if they were delivered a day or two earlier.
Palo Alto is typically a very safe place to shop and dine. However, you sense that this store resembles one that you would find elsewhere (like in a bigger city). The «fresh» food is often stale and «meh» while the parking lot is just too small for the area. The people who loiter in the parking lot cause some concern.
If the parking lot situation was improved and the store actively cleared out the beggars in the parking lot, I would give the store four stars (better than average for a convenient store).
Unfortunately, the store’s location and atmosphere makes it viable only for pedestrians who aren’t afraid of being approached by questionable characters in the parking lot. Thus, I would give this ⁷⁄₁₁ approximately 1.5 stars, but this rounds up to 2.

Like any other 7eleven is mediocre. The place look clean and she shelves are full with goods. Standing in line for ipad2 and got hungry, so ordered one of those big bites. I got a large hot dog with unlimited hot chili and cheese. On top of that I got some doughnuts, glazed old fashion. Yummy!
I saw someone come in and got a scratcher as well. I did not know they were allowed to sell them that early in the morning. Usually they don’t sell it after a certain time at night.
Overall like most 7 – 11 are decent place that opens 24hr with snacks and foods.
Parking is available, the front door has a tiny lot, but the back has public parking available. Beware, some spots need permits.

Back in the day when I lived in the area, this was the only thing open in the witching hours. My friend from NYC somehow found that they sold his fave Nat Sherman’s for very attractive prices. Not sure if that is compared to NYC or compared to anywhere. Sometimes it’s 4am and you crave a slurpee!

Drove by after I made a wrong turn. I wanted to find the Bryant Street Garage but turned too early.
Well, today 7÷11÷07 happened to be the 80^th Anniversary of 7-​Eleven stores (1927 – 2007) and a Unilocaler had mentioned the FREE slurpee at all 7-​Eleven stores.
Walked in knowing this and asked one of the guys working there. Yes, it’s FREE so I asked him which size is it. It’s a kiddie cup size probably less than 8oz, but then it’s still FREE.
I saw many flavors, but I stuck to Fanta Wild Cherry. It was tasty.
Walked out smiling all the way down the street. Next to Waverley coin laundry. Cross street: Lytton.

You may wonder why a 7 – 11 could get a 5 star rating from me, and let me tell you dear reader this location deserves every single star. It’s open 24 hours and it’s right across the street from my apt. That means when I need something at any hour of the morning, it’s right there, of course it’s got all the convenience store staples, butthe wine selection is a nice touch. The ability to grab a meal consisting of decent wine, a bag of fritos, and cup full of nacho cheese at 5 am from a convenience store 50 feet from home is totally worth 5 stars

A1 dirt bag place.
I don’t get a big gulp here without my num chucks. Of course my jeans are a little too tapered but alas
If something goes down, it’s everyman for themselves

Overall a 7 of a possible 40

When I was 10, it was the Flintstones orange sherbet push-​up pops that lured me in. By 14, it was the blue Slurpee’s (you can fit more in if you put the rounded cover on first). Now they have a multitude of delightful options including «the bomb» burrito, nearly McDs quality breakfast sandwiches, and jalapeño and cream cheese taquitos. I’ll take 7-​Eleven coffee over Starbucks any day… especially with all those flavored creamers available. From time to time I like to sneak in a lotto ticket too… yes I like to dream big.
