7-Eleven

I live in Midtown Towers and this location makes up part of the ground floor so I visit it frequently.
As Midtown Towers doesn’t have parking and I don’t have a car, grocery shopping is difficult for me and I end up using Seven-​11 and CVS far more than I should.
The main thing I buy here is pizza. 2 for $ 9.99 is hard to beat, and if you get them raw to cook at home you can even pay with SNAP. The buffalo chicken is a bit hot for my taste and the cheese is too plain. I get the meat or sometimes the pepperoni. They’re all $ 5.99 or 2 for $ 9.99.
I buy almost everything else at CVS as it’s usually cheaper there. But if I’m jonesing for soda after 7 pm, or if CVS doesn’t have any on sale that week, I’ll buy Coke products at Seven-​11 at 2 for $ 3.33. Not a great price, but a lot better than the nearly $ 2 CVS charges off sale.
The employees are almost always pleasant and helpful but they seem to lack support from the owner with regard to keeping stuff in stock and having sufficient staff for busy periods.

There’s something horrible about this location. Is it appropriate to call a location rude? This place is rude beyond belief, and I’m not just talking about the staff that work within. It’s like the most inhospitable places to walk into in the downtown region.
It smells, looks dirty and is desperately in need of a remodel. I was afraid to buy any of the food or drink selection and stuck with the prepackaged items. Only good thing about this place is that you can walk in here for a quick grab of the item and run away.

After finding the 7-​Eleven located at 601 Penn Avenue closed after 10:00 pm one evening — I made my way a few blocks away to this 7-​Eleven on Liberty. Thankfully — they were open later.
Unbelievably — just like the 7 – 11 at 601 Penn — this one also had an AC problem. Again I asked the guy working the counter about it. He said it was broken and he was planning on e-​mailing someone about it — he said it was over 85 degrees in there. I believe it.
Again, no Amex accepted. Cash, Visa, and MC.
I got what I needed and got the hell out of there.
