7-Eleven

Yay for the Amazon locker ! Though it must be scary to work here, all kinds of sketchiness all around

Always dirty and always has seedy element outside.
Been there a few times because it is close to my hotel. I always keep my head on a swivel.
This time I saw the big boss man handling money and other disgusting items around the store. I told him I’d ring my items myself. The a-​hole got pissed and told me he had to do it. I explained that I did not want him handling my food. He told me to leave the store.
I dropped my stuff and left. I shall NOT return.

Wow, color me impressed.
Love the Amazon Lockers in the corner — but you can also deposit checks here too! Sure beats the ⁷⁄₁₁ in front of my house where I can’t do anything about my paychecks. I’ll have to go back to deliver packages to this secure-​looking corner of SJ through Amazon — plenty of street daytime parking nearby too,
The service is new here, just FYI. Nothing that detracted from my experience. Slightly busy in the mid afternoon.

Only complaint i have is the smell. I don’t know what it is but its nasty. Like rotten milk and blood and mildew mop… I don’t know man but it’s gross. I feel like i have to hold my breath in there while I’m shopping. Other than that, the employees are nice and i give them props for dealing with the… uh… Interesting people who come in pretty often. They must have a lot of patience. Well stocked… Just need to fix that smell!

…Still I have heard nothing from them…
THEIVES !!! You owe me $ 149.00 !!!

downstairs from a low-​income housing complex for developmentally disabled adults. conveniently located across from a light rail stop. large, clean, well stocked.
I came in here recently, and they were having a pizza promotion. blaring music, and cheering every time a pizza was sold.
this is not a great neighborhood, but at least the courthouse and police station is close by!

I LOVE the late-​night staff here! Even though it’s the middle of the night or the ass-​crack of dawn when I usually come here (yeah, I keep weird hours) the customer service is excellent. The guy who is there the most is very friendly, helpful, and has a good sense of humor. I feel like at a lot of 24 hour places the night staff is really surly, kinda sketchy, obviously hates their job, and they seem to resent having customers. That is never the case here. This guy deals with all kinds of weirdos and he actually seems to enjoy being there. I once asked him about some cupcakes they had by the register that looked awesome. He said they were really good and the late night stoners LOVED them, lol.
To the reviews complaining about the «sketchy people» and «bums» hanging around: get over it, this is downtown, if you can’t handle passing a few homeless people, stay in Mountain View. I come here a few times a week always after dark, always on foot and I’ve always been perfectly safe. The store itself is always clean, well lit, and well stocked.

This 7 – 11 has a ton of things going for it.
Great location off 101 and 880.
Parking!
Amazon Locker!
But it has one big thing going against it. Always a ton of ghetto, shady people hanging out outside. I do not feel comfortable pulling in here (daytime or nighttime). I was pretty certain I was going to get mugged on my way out today. Not risking it again.

This place has ghetto folk hanging around outside either begging for money or trying to sell rap cd’s. Worst of all, they don’t sell NOS Energy drink.

I am a fan of 7 – 11’s! Regardless of a 1 or 5 star I can give them, the business itself is amazing. The amount of locations across the nation and the variety of items are great in terms of a convenient store. This 7 – 11 use to have one of the worst customer service I’ve seen in a long time but more recently I believe they have hired some new people and got rid of the older people and the store itself has been more a delight to enter. I love the selection of drinks and abundance of tequitos they have in the glass case. The location of the store is a bit awkward since it is located under an apartment and the parking lot is a bit small but plenty more parking a long the street. Overall the store is great and if your in the area come on in and grab yourself an ice cold drink, couple of tequitos, maybe 2 for $ 1.00 on the donuts, and grab couple of lottery tickets and you’re set!

Ugghhh… this 7 – 11 has a lot going on here now. First of all, I gave their most recent addition, the Amazon pick-​up locker, a try here. I had my shipment sent here to their 24 – 7 locker and I unlock my locker using the unlock key that was emailed to me. Well, luckily I only had purchased a book but seriously with the kind of people that come in and out of this 7−11…I may start to reconsider whether I feel comfortable shipping and picking stuff here.
Also not to mention that there are usually homeless and beggars outside in the garage and street occasionally which makes their Citibank ATM’s less appealing.
A cool promotion that they have now are coffee cups that have Obama’s name on one and Romney’s name on the other. In the end, 7 – 11 will compile all the votes and see which candidate 7 – 11 nation «supports» nationwide. Ummmm I don’t think most people even see whose name is on the cup… they throw the paper insulating sleeve around the cup and go on their way…
In terms of food and drinks selection, this 7 – 11 does the job but the parking still is horrible and limited in the garage and it’s unpredictable as to what cast of characters you’ll see when you come in here.

Sucks to find out that they stop selling beer waaaay too early. Especially after I had to step over a piss drenched hobo to get inside the joint. Weak!

Bad news — they screwed up my credit card. Don’t use your cards here! One purchase of milk for a few bucks — then later that day, my card was rejected by MasterCard because the store used suspicious codes when submitting it. So in a restaurant that evening I had to call Mastercard to clear the issue — they thought the card was stolen because of the way this store submitted it for my little purchase of milk. Never use credit or debit cards here!

I love this 7 – 11!!! It seems like they never run out of anything, they have great workers and a lot of fresh fruit to choose from.
Plus, it’s right on my way to work… it’s nice of them to be that convenient for me :)
They also have the biggest selection of Arizona Tea’s and Energy drinks!

i get my snacks from there. All of there stuff is good

I love this 7 – 11 compared to the other ones I have been to around in San Jose area except the people who work there. There is this older Mexican lady who wears glasses and is such a dumb b***h! She’s like training another worker and I’m like okay I’ll wait. and I waited… for a good 5 – 7 minutes then I had it! I interrupted her and said «why don’t you come train him how to ring me up so I can leave». She gave me a dirty look. I would love to stand there and learn how to be a 7 – 11 clerk but that day was just not the day for me to stand and observe. Then there is that crazy skinny Indian guy. TWICE I have been present when he’s accusing customers that they gave him the wrong amount. He’ll say that you gave him a $ 5 instead of a $ 20. Seeing it TWICE made me realize he probably does this on a daily basis! Sad!
I’m in love with the spicy hot dog topped off with cheese and chili and some onions! YuMMIE!

We like this branch. It’s well lit. Ample parking space. Fast service. Well stocked and open 24 hours!
They resolved their issue with the columns in their parking area. Half of it used to be painted black and you can hardly see when you’re backing up. NOW –it’s painted in stripes of red/​white/​yellow and with a reflective material. It’s more visible now when your back up light is on. Nice job!

The owner called me to resolve the issue. He was sincerely apologetic. That’s all you can ask for. I can’t really blame the owner for having one stupid clerk. The issue was not about the coupon but how the clerk approached the situation. They are a new location. I told him I would give them another shot. I’ll do another review then.
I went in yesterday and it seems they have really tried to improve their service.

First of all, this is NOT a shady area. On one side of 1^st there are a bunch of hotels, and behind the hotels, more hotels. On the other side, is the Rosemary Gardens neighborhood, which is a very nice, well maintained, older family neighborhood. Homes are from the 50’s and from the cars out front, you can tell that there’s not a whole lot of money, but most lawns are well kept up and there seems to be a lot of community pride in this area, much more than what I’ve seen in other neighborhoods.
That said, this 7 – 11 is only about a year old. I went there the first day (I think March 30, 2007) to check out the Slurpee situation. I love my Slurps, and I needed to make sure they carried orange, which they did, and which I then proceeded to purchase daily from the first day to mid-​autumn. mmmmmm orange Slurpees.
There’s a bunch of guys who run the store, and they’re nice enough. They seem eager to be friendly (the bodega up the street had a pretty loyal clientele, so I guess they figure they better be nicer than them to keep the customers).
Very clean, and well lit. Like someone else mentioned, they have tons of Ben and Jerry’s, in addition, they have a individual ice cream freezer full of popsicles and Dove bars… mmmmmmmm
Most of the peeps who come in are from the neighborhood or from the VTA customers at the Gish station. The only sketchy people I’ve ever seen were earlier this winter, when it was about 35 degrees out, an a couple of ‘ladies’ dressed in holey fishnets stockings, short fur jackets and micro mini skirts dropped by. I was trying not to giggle at all the guys who stood there looking at them with their eyes bulging out of their heads, and squeezing the life out of their HotPockets and Big Gulps. One lady purchased 5 or 6 BOXES of Trojans and a tube of chap stick, the other bought 5 or 6 boxes of Trojans and a big pack of Juicy Fruit. My little daughter was with me and wanted to know how the ladies could stand the cold in those outfits hahahhaha.
I watched as they walked across the street to the hotel, so I told my child that the ladies would be warm enough, soon enough, lol.

so I have passed by this place a million times since it’s been built. finally last night I decided to check it out. I guess I was not willing to stop since I did’nt know where to park. duh. I pulled into the covered parking which I assumed was for the apartments. nope I was wrong! it’s 7 – 11 parking! right when you walk in there are the nachos… check off
looked like they had a decent beer selection. .check off list. I have to check out how their slurpees are… need to check off list. I did’nt see if there was any porn mags for sale… need to check off list. candy-​yes… check off list. also it seems to attract some shady people-​me included.
