7-Eleven

I have extremely low expectations of anything customer service related when it comes to gas stations especially ²⁴⁄₇ gas stations that are open on Christmas.
I am only writing this review because the employee that worked the cash register was just amazing at customer service. I actually drove home and thought to myself «Wow, people need to know that that guy kicked Christmas service butt and made 7-​Eleven look great».
Obviously, long line that didn’t really have an ending point. So 2 lines formed at 2 cash registers with 1 person working and he worked BOTH cash registers so flawlessly with what looked like little effort (but we all know the struggle was real) and managed to make those 2 lines disappear almost as quickly as it began. He was on top of it. He was working 2 cash registers, churning out hot pizzas and making certain everyone was leaving with what they needed. He did all of this with a friendly smile.
Would I come back? Easily. I’m impressed. My quick trip for soda was exactly that: quick.
Thanks guy. You rock at your job and you make 7-​Eleven look like a great place for me to get gas when I need it.

Not the place to stop when you need to be anywhere within ten minutes. The Cashier SP moves at a snails pace Ive seen 8 people in line while he fiddles around with stuff. An it always seems right when you need to check out he miraculously find something to do to make you wait. They should stop hiring family an hire people that want to work an help people.

Hubby went here for water and coffee. This early it was our only choice before heading out. The man at the register asked him are you ready as he stood in front of the register to pay and leave. He told him yes and he left to do something else. Hubby stood at the register waiting and he comes Back to the register and says again «are you ready» my husband turns yo him and says «are you ready!» He was bothered because he was turned away from what he was doing to help a customer, really!!! He was so rude!!!
We bring you business, spend our money and you act like a customer is a disturbance instead of appreciating someone’s business.
Don’t forget that you came to this country and left yours for a better opportunity. If your going to live in this country and own a business in this country. You better adapt to this country and treat people with respect! It is privilege that you own a business in this country!

BEWARE: IF YOU PAY $ 20 FOR GAS HERE
AND USE YOUR CREDIT CARD THEY WILL HOLD $ 100+
FUNDS ON YOUR DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD FOR 48 HOURS +
I was so happy when I saw this 7 – 11 Going in and when I visited the first few times I was met by a pleasant young man who seemed so happy to be working there! There is a woman there now, that doesn’t seem quite as happy… Oh well.
I do like the convenience of the place, and it is a nice nice new facility.
I’ve been over charged on a few occasions so I have learned to count my change.
I would like to warn you all of one thing…
If you use a credit or debit card when purhasing gas… they’ll put a hold on a big block of your funds. For instance, I purchased $ 19.75 and that evening when I was doing my banking on line, I noticed that my bank transactions said -$ 125!
The extra hundred bucks rolled off almost 48 hours later, but what if I needed those funds? I’ll tell you one thing, they put self serve payment at the pumps for our convenience and I have to say. .that it is very inonvenient to have to go inside to pay in order to avoid my funds from being frozen!
I will pay cash from now on «IF» I purchase gas there ever again. Crazy!
I haven’t seen that friendly «loves his job guy» there lately… or perhaps the newness has worn off… or maybe someone stole him away… Very unfortunate for 7 – 11 cuz he was definitely one of the friendlier ones there!

For this review, I gotta give a shout out to Charley C. He’s like Unilocal’s Lewis & Clark of the California Central Coast. He’s got more reviews of places between SF & LA than many Unilocalers have altogether.
That’s how I found this 7-​Eleven. Sometimes, especially while traveling, you just need a quick & easy convenience store. Visiting Paso for a couple days, that was certainly my case. I checked Unilocal.
Sure enough, Charley C. got an FTR for a shiny new 7-​Eleven near my hotel. Being new & in Paso, this 7-​Eleven was nice, clean, well-​lit & packed with everything you’d expect to find at a 7-​Eleven.
There’s gas pumps too & gas prices were slightly lower than gas stations closer to the freeway. I got some gas, got some stuff & went on my way. That’s what convenience stores are for.
& I appreciate the convenience of easily finding this 7-​Eleven thanks to Charley C’s review.

Paso Robles newest 7 – 11 and what a step up from the previous liquor store /​deli that was there. Clean Nice and well stocked. I hope it stays that way. Across the street from the high school, Just don’t come in when the masses arrive.
