7-Eleven

This week is free coffee week through the 18^th! Seriously couldn’t be a better time with it being fall and PSL time. Such a perfect location if you’re going north bound on Monaco.

Super rude staff. Creepers outside. Most disgusting bathrooms ever. Do your best to avoid this one.

Ok, let’s get it out of the way… Slurpee’s ROCK (you have to sing that their so awesome). Phew, now I can focus.
This 7 – 11 is awesome. Usually you will find a police officer or an EMT bus or Emergency Transport vehicle parked in the parking lot. What can be safer than a 7 – 11 with emergency vehicles on stand by? Or… maybe the emergency vehicles are modern way of saying «Beware of the Ides of March». Take your pick. There aren’t a lot of spaces to park but seriously, who’s hanging out all day at the 7 – 11 besides Bill and Ted? Oh, you?!? My bad!
The location is perfect. I live just a few blocks away and it always seem to be one the right side of the road when I’m heading out and realize, crap, I need gas. Although not one of the deluxe sooper huge 7 – 11’s, this one has just about everything you need. A ginormous cup of coffee with a slew of little tiny cups of every International Delight flavor imaginable… check! Valentine Candy because you forgot and in an attempt to save your hide… check check. Naughty magazines in the front… yep, there still there just like when we were kids… check check check!
Don’t forget the lotto tickets! In case you did and walked out, there is a HUGE sign across the street telling you the current jackpot and, phew, you’ve been saved, your chance to win the lotto restored. Retirement here you come!
Coffee! Hide saving candy! Lotto tickets!!! Geeze, what more could a person need… except, GAS! The prices are pretty reasonable and there is usually at least open pump open. They are pretty good about making sure there is water in the squeegie thinga ma gigger and paper towels. A definite bonus during snow season.
Tip Alert Tipe Alert… if you love standing in line behind a gaggle of teenagers all buying one thing at a time and not paying attention to moving the line but instead consumed my the cute guy by the door or who just texted them… This is the place for you during the school year. Make sure you get there between 7−8AM or 3 – 3:30PM and …Nirvana. For the rest of us, fine ME, that get a wee bit annoyed by some members of the younger generation (No, of course not you my 14 year old cousin *cough cough*) avoid this place during those times.
Now you can’t say no one told ya… because I just did. BAM!
