7-Eleven

I hate when 7 eleven advertises shit on the windows that they don’t even have in the store, it’s just annoying. I tried to get a sandwhich advertised on the front window and the guy looked at me as if insane. Take the dam ad down if you don’t carry the product. I just needed a quick bite.
Other than that no complaints. Fast and efficient service.

Even though this store is a little more than a block from my home I have stopped going there after being a daily customer for years. Here’s why:
This 7 – 11 used to have a friendly and helpful crew. They knew me by sight and were always cheerful and gracious to the customers. Then about a year ago (maybe longer… time means nothing to me. I’m retired) the store changed hands. The new owner is great and really went out of her way to make sure that a couple of items I got there regularly were stocked — she even brought in a brand of beer at my request. I have absolutely no complaints about the new owner. The crew was another matter. Surly, rude and totally unprofessional. They would ignore me until the last possible minute — they were either on the phone, rummaging around behind the counter, talking to each other or poking around on some handheld device and would make me stand at the counter with my purchase, unacknowledged, until they’d finally deign to ring me up. More than half the time I went in there was no one at the register and often there would be a confused-​looking customer standing at the counter waiting to make a purchase. The crew members would be somewhere else in the store — I’s here them talking to each other or on a cell phone. Finally someone would say «Hello?» or «Anyone here?» and they’d saunter over to ring them up. I ignored them for a long as I could — after all, I’m just buying stuff, not making friends — but I always left feeling like I’d just been insulted. Finally one day I went in to find a customer standing at the register while 2 of the crew members were joking with each other and ignoring her. I picked up my items and stood behind the customer. The clerks made to move to help us. After waiting a bit I got fed up and said «I’m tired of being ignored by you guys», put my items back and left. I have not been back since. I just got tired of their «fuck you» attitude. I walk the extra block to Safeway.
I need to point out again that the new owner is a very nice, friendly and professional. But her crew acts like they’d rather be somewhere else. I can even understand that. After all, it’s not a cushy job. I simply got tired of being ignored or glowered at. The store seems to be doing fine, so the couple of dollars I spent there every day won’t be missed… I don’t even know if good service is expected at a 7 – 11. Maybe I was spoiled by the old crew and this crew is more the norm. Whatever. I’m not going back there.

Rating this place because it is clean, they are exceptionally friendly and it has a good vibe. More so than other 7−11s.

Open ²⁴⁄₇ in a relatively safe area. That’s all I need to know to grab my 3:00 am blue raspberry Slurpee.

7 eleven has my favorite slurpees

I don’t have anything particularly insightful or witty to say and obviously can’t claim that this store stocks particularly attractive or unusual items.
I write to praise the employees, all of whom have been friendly and have tried to be helpful during my weekly afternoon visits. I had a job like theirs some years ago, and don’t think I acquitted myself with their grace and alacrity.
Also, this is in Albany so I’ve never once been pan-​handled (or otherwise approached) in the parking lot. That alone is something.

Open 24 hours! This is the place to go after midnight!
I sometmes work through the night, and at 3 or 4AM I’ll find myself NEEDING a Slurpee.
The nicest guy in the world works the graveyard shift here. The first time I came in at 3AM, he asked me, in a very concerned voice, why I was awake at that hour.
One time he asked me if I was OK (I was a little tired…), and told me that I could tell him if I wasn’t.
The other workers are really friendly when I come at other times. I like this one because they generally have both of my favorite Slurpee flavors, cherry and blue raspberry.
They usually have the day’s newspaper.
The Pepsi never seems to work, though.

It’s a 7-​Eleven. I mean, there’s not a whole lot of variation.
You come for some coffee (though where is the milk here? There’s like, fifty packets of non-​dairy creamer, but no skim or anything normal at night) and some prepackaged donuts and get the hell out.
Nice enough people. Blah.

YES! Finally a place in the Bay area that doesn’t have any reviews yet! (I’ve been waiting for this moment for a while now, lol)
Now that I got that excitement out of the way, I would like to let you all know just how convenient this chain convenient store really is! I came in to grab a few things, both staff members greeted me as I came inside, everything was well stocked, good selection of products, and it was clean inside. The prices are low, which is great and convenient, and the staff was very jovial while ringing me up.
I would recommend this 7-​Eleven to others if you are in the area!

my family and I were bullied by the operators of the store today. I am so upset by their rude behavior I have half a mind to call the national office. I was minding my own business as my daughter (in a stroller) and I were looking in a cooler at beverages. all of a sudden a worker or owner comes up right behind me and starts yelling in Pakistani at his employee right in my ear. I decide to move so as I am pulling the stroller out to get out of his way he decides he can’t wait the extra 10 seconds it will take me to move and tries to step over the front of the stroller and kicks it (with my 9 month old in it) and totally scares her. not only do I not get any immediate reaction or apology he seems to think that I some how owe him one. I will never go there again and spend my hard earned money if this is how they treat their patrons. disgusting.

It’s a 7-​eleven. How do you review a 7-​eleven?
Well, the place is clean. I did step on gum in the parking lot though… probably from those knucklehead high schoolers. Nah, probably not.

This location usually has high school kids out front. It reminds me of the movie «Suburbia». It’s not as creepy as some other 7−11s, and no one has ever asked me for change out in the parking lot, so I kinda like this one.

I’m going to go ahead and blame the guy that works the graveyard shift for my smoking habit. If I miss a day, he asks me where I have been. Then he tells me if I don’t come tomorrow he will charge me double. Cigarettes are expensive enough as it is… Sheesh the pressure!
