7-Eleven

This 7-​eleven is sky high. A small 7-​select bottle of water is $ 2.00. Other 7-​eleven it’s only $.99. On top of that what is up with all these poor Africans coming to the states thinking they run shhh. They all rude.

Very slow, inefficient service! Every time I come here, I see the workers being inefficient. For example, one cashier during the morning rush? seriously? 3 during the afternoon rush?
I’ve seen workers stocking the shelves instead of taking care of the 6 – 8 people in line for the single cashier.
I would say, stay away if you can! Although, most of us probably go there because it is right next to the trolley station and we probably work near by.
It is not a convenient convenient store! Horrible store that makes others look bad.
There are also panhandlers outside often! this is downtown and they like to go to where the workers spend their money. it’s depressing.

So mrs. Obama wanabee starts screaming at the clerk becuz she feels the injustice of the doughnut pricing and shouts the n-​word at the clerk beating the decibels of a 747. Anyways i get to observe this and proceed to pay for my ice cream bar as a cooling off remedy. After leaving the store i noticed that i had been overcharged for multiple doughnuts, fried chicken and a grape slurpee. Lucky i rushed back to have the charges reversed

Employees are friendly, they open registers when there’s a long line (almost always), and they always seem to be fully stocked.
One thing I’m not a fan of is the ATM. I went in once to withdraw some cash, but it didn’t spit up my money. I told one of the cashiers and he said that they knew; I wasn’t the first to complain about the machine not working. So, how about an «Out of order» sign, then?!
I ended up calling the number on the machine to try to figure things out. The recording said to call my bank. I called my credit union and was told that the money I withdrew was still in my account, as if nothing had happened. I don’t know if the ATM is functioning again, but I’m not going to rely on this location to get cash when I need it.
On the upside, they do have an Amazon locker here.

This is super close to my apt. Tonight I left my iPhone 6+ there and the very nice guy that was working there held onto my phone until I realized what I had done. I came back and he recognized me and already new what I came back for. Honesty and integrity makes a convenience store a neighborhood hotspot. Thank you!

Generally this is a slid 7-​Eleven. It’s big, well stocked, coffee is always very fresh and is kept clean. Knock off a few stars for a consistent issue. There is almost always a long line to pay. Even when more than 1 person is working, there is just one cashier. So you can expect to wait in line for awhile unless yore lucky that no one is at the register. This is a real drag, especially if you’re grabbing a quick bite. Who wants to wait in a 5−10minute line in a convenience store?

Nice bang for the buck and good service. They were nice enough to make change with a couple dollars in quarters that I needed for the city bus. $ 0.99 Big Gulp sale when I went. Good news is that they have fresh brewed Sweet Tea,. Bad news is that it’s not as good or strong as McDonald’s.

I try to avoid this 7 – 11 because they do not do cash-​back and there is usually very long lines and only one cash register open. No problems at all at the State St 7 – 11 a few blocks away, so this is where I buy drinks donuts and milk and get cash-​back for lunch during work.

Decent 7 – 11, and as a credit union account holder, it is my ATM of choice since it’s the closest fee-​free ATM to the Marina District (7 – 11 ATMs are always free for credit union users). This ATM has a lot of homeless people hanging out, and there is an occasional feces on the sidewalk, but to their credit, it could be from Dogs and the City customers next door.

This is a great ⁷⁄₁₁! They do get busy tho so if you want a dog wait in line for the register and she will go get it for you. Other wise they just keep ringing ppl up.

It’s kinda-​sorta funny (er, sad) that after a four-​month long hiatus the employees at this 7-​Eleven still recognize me. I surmise it may have something to do with frequenting this convenience store almost daily for the past four years…
Anyway, I stopped in this afternoon to purchase apple juice (the 7-​Eleven brand because it was less expensive by almost two dollars) and Jalapeño Jack Sun Chips (new flavor — heck yes!).
7-​Eleven Clerk: We haven’t seen you in a long time! We thought something happened to you!
Me: What? Oh, I’ve been busy at work. And I quit drinking coffee…
7-​Eleven Clerk: Ah…
The staff is friendly — some more friendlier (er, nosier) than others. The store is fairly clean (for a 7-​Eleven located downtown), and carries a decent stock of candy, snacks, prepared foods, drinks, and health & beauty items on-​the-​go.
I’m disappointed this store no longer sells Churros. Hax.

Getting racially profiled = uncool, unnecessary embarrassment for a duration not to exceed two minutes.
Getting racially profiled in a business district wearing business casual = priceless.
There are some things money can’t buy. For cavalcades of ignorance delivered unto thee from a grossly underpaid wage slave in dire need of a reality check, there is 7-​Eleven.

Holy gourmet coffee businessman! The days of crappy convenience store coffee with the only options of regular or decaf are long gone… at least at this particular 7 – 11.
Besides the usual suspects (dark, medium and decaf) now there are all kinds of flavored brews too, for instance blueberry (who knows what unpronounceable chemical compounds are used to create the flavor, but it’s an option if you’re into it). They also offer what is called fusion defense coffee infused with echinacea, ginseng and astragalus; again nutritional value questionable (does the FDA regulate coffee?) but with those herbal remedies i imagine it’s the equivalent to dropping a tablet of Airborne into your coffee cup.
Also absent from the new and improved coffee island… powdered creamer. In its place a variety of condiments are at your service: containers of whole, 2%, 1%, nonfat milk, flavored creamers and even the flavored syrups are at the ready to make your coffee creation a masterpiece if you are so inclined. Happy to report prices are still low despite all of the fancy enhancements.
Coffee aside, this 7 – 11 has almost everything a grocery store would, like pet food to name one example. Keep in mind the prices on these products reflect the convenience of a.well.a convenience store; however if one wants it quick and easy, most will shell out a few extra shillings.
Meal offerings have expanded to ridiculous proportions… while the standard hot dog cooker is present; there are strategically injected cheese dogs, and other wiener looking products, even taquitos can be found rolling round in that cooker these days. Plus there is a «freshly made section» where you can buy a variety of sandwiches, salads, fresh fruit, even hard boiled eggs.
I must say this place is greatly appreciated as indicated by the masses of business folk filtering out of the sky rises in the area and bolting directly to this 7 – 11. Many thanks for the new and improved convenience store experience!

So if a train traveler wanted to grab a quick beer or two or three for the ride home, but had to contend with a beer cooler that appears to be locked 24 hours per day so you have to trap a slow-​moving employee to agree to retrieve your beer of choice from the inside of the cooler, that wouldn’t be terribly convenient. To elevate this from minor inconvenience to furious rampage, six employees were there last time to set a record for most people working in one 7 – 11, but only one of these was serving as a cashier while the others were doing god knows what behind the scenes. The generous customer servant spent nearly 10 minutes with one couple trying to help them with their ATM card problems while the line of increasingly homicidal customers eventually grew to Six Flags proportions. One lady finally snapped and thoroughly berated anyone impudent enough to represent the store before another employee who won’t be attending Mensa meetings anytime soon realized he should probably help out. What a clusterfuck. If the train left without me because it took 25 minutes to walk a block and get a beer, I’d be like Blanca when he bends down and gets angry and electrical power surges through his body. Thankfully it didn’t come to that.
Also, they stop beer sales at 10 PM, so if you want a tall ‘n’ frosty to console yourself on the train ride home from another depressing Padre game, you’d better plan ahead.
Amtrak could probably make a lot of money selling cold ones at the Santa Fe Depot, should they ever grow interested in moving toward financial self-​sufficiency. Or they could just keep taking billions in subsidies. Whatever.
Anyway, this convenience store is not at all.

Damn you, Lucas, for reviewing this 7 – 11 before i could! Also damn you for how I agree on pretty much every damn thing you’ve said about it, even down to the damn Hawaiian sweet rolls.
I went in there one night all loopy from Vicodin, and the staff were being really funny, and messing with me. Gotta love 7 – 11 employees with a good sense of humor.
