7-Eleven

Not the best 7-​eleven.. not the worst.
Those complaining about the stiff prices fail to acknowledge the fact that this is NOT an super market… and therefore, there is notuing convenient about this convenience store, except (maybe) the location and (hopefully) the extended hours.
This is a last resort, middle of the night craving stop.
If you do your groceries here, chances are your fridge is going to scream louder than when you last stocked it.
I personally use it for snacks or when i need to splurge on ice cream and junk food.
The staff is just very nervous (probably due to the long hours and the constant fear of thieves and mishaps).

This place sucks and is a blight on a really great neighborhood… Rough staff, never ending renovations, always out of whatever you need and closes randomly for no reason. If you’re going to run a 7 – 11, stay open. Or close all together and let in another business that might actually add value to the neighborhood.

This 7-​Eleven is now «normal» — typical prices, decent people at the counter, typical merchandise. I believe it is under new management. While I used to avoid this location like the plague, it now operates like a standard 7-​Eleven.

They seem to subscribe to a minimalist style as far as layout and inventory are concerned. The place feels kind of lopsided.
Drinks aplenty! A fully stocked wall chest as shelves contains all sorts of drinks soft and otherwise including some flavors/​colors of Gatorade I’d never seen before.
I’ve not quite figured out if all of the employees are as disinterested as the ones I’ve seen and tried to interact with, or what percentage of employees I’ve seen. I understand being stringent and not messing around, especially in that line of business (since they often get robbed, ecc) but if I’m not actively trying to rob you and just want some butts and lunch items, ease up. Greet me, or say ‘have a good one.’ how hard is it?

This convenience store delivers on convenience: it is a valid option when you are too tired to take the long journey through Prudential Centre to Walgreens, or Shaws. Other than that, it is terrible.
The people behind the counter are clearly the owners, so they have no superiors to force them to offer good customer service. Nope, you can practically see the calculations of profit margins go on in their heads as they ring you up without exchanging any words at all.
«Yes, buy your pissant little donuts so that I can get to a real customer.»
They have the things that 7Elevens are required to have, but beyond that they treat you like crap, and the place seems to be perpetually in a state of disrepair. Perhaps if you cut your prices, and were nicer then people would buy more? It is just a thought.

This store is the worst convenience store I’ve ever been to.
Their food goes past shelf life, their slurpee/​big gulp machines are always broken, but worst of all is the service.
I had been treated consistently with unfriendliness for a few months and brushed it off, but that woman with the glasses behind the counter has made me swear off ever giving this place business again. She was outright rude to me after arguing with another customer, and I had done nothing.
This place is disgusting, not worth the convenience.

DON’T GO HERE! an elderly man crashed his bike out front. His head was bleeding so my husband went in there to get ice and napkins and she yelled at him and said he had to pay for the ice. Even after explaining what he needed it for. He tossed her a dollar and left. Awful compassion!

What the heck? Staff isn’t friendly or helpful at all. Or maybe they were trying to help me out by waiting for me to give up and go away vice overpay for a small package of over-​the-​counter medicine, as they stood quietly at the other end of the counter ignoring me for an awkwardly long amount of time. Convenient if you’re walking by but crude (and pricey) enough to not go back to. Maybe their night shift is nicer; I don’t see how they couldn’t be!

I love this location’s erm… location. Which would be practically across the street from me (no stalkers please).
HOWEVER Things I don’t like:
1) Their forever broken slurpee machine
2) Their elimination of coke from the slurpee flavors if their machine is on the mend.
3) The racism: you just don’t say «I don’t like brack people» in front of a person of color.
Things I do like:
1) Their ever growing variety of ramen. Yakisoba? MSG? Sure, why not?
2) The fact that their toilet paper is cheaper than Shaw’s.
3) Egg Salad sandwiches to soothe my baby P-dog’s soul.

This place is the absolute worst. I have never been treated so poorly, they have no customer service at all. They are on my way home from my gym so I often stop in for a water on my walk back. Every time I go in there the lady behind the counter with the long dark hair is so rude. Never says hello, never even acknowledges you and snaps at you, if she needs to say something.
So the other day when I went to buy a drink I told her that I did not need a receipt. She gave me one anyways and told me «take it» and pointed at the trash bin by the door. So I decided that the next time I came in I would say «no thank you, I do not need a receipt» but not take it anyway and throw it away for her. As paying costumers you have the right to reject a receipt, you are not obligated to have one. So, tonight I went in, bought a few things and told her no thank you about the receipt but she stuck it in my bag anyways. I took it out and put it on the counter and said, «no thank you, I don’t need this». She then told me, «I don’t want your receipt, take it». To which I answered, «no» and then I could not believe it, she asked me if i was crazy! AND said, «what is wrong with you?» At that point I walked out with my belongings and she literally threw the receipt at me! These people are so most insanely rude and unprofessional business owners I’ve ever come across. I mean, really, who does that?!?
Do NOT support these rude nutcases.

Who reviews a 7 – 11?
I didn’t realize it was possible! This is awesome!
Ok so they have healthy options, junk food and magazines. The staff is very kind and friendly and the store is relatively clean. Prob the best option for a snack and a drink in the theatre district!

Here’s the thing. 7-Eleven’s have giant fountain sodas. They have giant *cheap* fountain sodas. For this, I’m a huge 7-​Eleven fan.
When I moved near this particular location, I was super excited to be so close. This one is larger than others and usually pretty clean. Not too sketch, and everything has an open feel.
But my very first visit put a damper on all this. I bought a gallon of milk and a 12-​pack of diet Mt Dew. The total cost: over $ 12!
So I learned not to buy those things there, as they were truly marked up for the convenience. I stuck mostly to half-​gallons of milk and the fountain sodas. But, like other Unilocalers, I noticed a major discrepancy on the pricing of these items. Sometimes my giant soda would be $ 1.70. Sometimes over two bucks. Not a deal breaker, but disconcerting nonetheless.
Then I began to notice a trend that the woman behind the counter was never very friendly to me. I don’t know; maybe the staffing changed? Other people said she’s very chatty. She’s only ever been short-​tempered and rude to me. I don’t expect them to be my best friends. It is, after all, a 7-​Eleven. I put up with it, but started to decrease my visits.
Last week, after being treated incredibly rudely by the woman at the counter, I mentally broke up with this store and swore I’d never come back. I’m always super polite, I have no idea what I did to annoy her. Maybe it’s that I’m consistently buying one of the cheapest things in their store. oops.
Anyway. It’s convenient. Overpriced. What do you expect for a 7-​Eleven, right? Maybe I’ll come back later and give it another star, but for the moment, I’m boycotting and truly think it deserves just the one.

Five stars for the experience. I used to come in this place at least three times a week. They actually have this awesome smoked turkey and jack cheese sandwich for under $ 4 which is great when you are on the run, but also irrelevant to my review.
Everything the other reviewers have said is true though. Watch the prices as they ring you up — they make it up, and it does not show up on the screen.
But, the old couple that run this place are so cute, they are always there, and every time this happens: I pay, in clear english the woman tells me what I owe, maybe we have a small conversation. She thanks me, and then I start to leave and then the woman says something entirely incomprehensible to me, usually in question form and with a smile on her face. At first I would ask her to repeat herself. Now I just smile back, laugh, maybe say thank you and walk away. I have brought in friends, told them about this, and had them tell me I was just a drunk idiot. And then it happened again and again. It is not english, or japanese, or chinese, or anything I can make out. I think this lady just likes to screw with me when I appear messed up. Plus I like to think she recognizes me and only I get this special treatment. For that she is awesome, and for that 5 STARS!

Store has a unusual amount of empty space in it.

At first glance this 7-​Eleven seems like your typical convenience store establishment… Then you ask… why the hell is there so much space in here?
I dunno if it is the ceilings or the unusual length of the store, but it is odd. Maybe it’s the banana stand near the register… Judge for yourself and you will know what I am talking about.
In terms of goods, they have pretty much everything. A little on the expensive side. They do have an enormous energy drink selection.
O yea and the register people, they are real talkers…
