7 Eleven

The guys that run this are a bunch of clowns. I’ve lived in this area all of 3 weeks, and while they say they are open till 12am, they just up and close at 11:30pm, 11:40pm, 11:45pm, or tonight, 11:55pm. Anytime you find yourself at the door knocking, with the look of «what the… it’s not midnight!» they always give you some permeation of «hey, we’re closed».
I’d hope some agent of 7 – 11 corporate comes down on them, but then again, we’re dealing with people running a 7 – 11 here. You can only get so mad, the way you can only get so mad at your niece double dribbling in a backyard basketball game. As a toddler.
«Heyyy lil’ buddy…»

needed some water for a long journey through tufts university. cheap prices and shelves were full. surprisingly walked through the aisles and only ended up with a water bottle. normally we get candy and bunch of junk food and a slurpee. but we restrained ourselves. prices always cheap. pretty clean inside. the guy at the register was fairly friendly. saw us as just another bunch of college kids. a nice convenient store located next to a dunkin donuts.

When I first moved to the neighborhood, my friends warned me to not walk in front of the 7 – 11 at night. A year since I’ve moved into my apartment, I still heed this advice. It’s a nice neighborhood, but for some reason, this little stretch gathers weirdos and questionable behavior out front. Aside from that, the people that work there are nice and it’s a great little convenient store.

Ok so the coffee here is great! It is better, and cheaper than Dunkin Donuts… try the vanilla nut, it’s scrumptious…
However the help leaves much to be desired! This morning, (now mind you I am in here about 5 – 6 days a week) the associate working was trying to assist me in using the pin pad at the check out. He instucted me to tap the pad gently «as if gently touching a woman’s nipple. don’t do it to hard or she’ll get mad at you»… I was shocked and completely caught off guard but I quickly replied, «well considering I’m gay, she’d probably be really confused and mad that I was trying to touch her nipple»… Good morning!
