7-Eleven

I was in with my daughter to buy some treats. A verbal confrontation broke out between that Sharif guy and a customer. Sharif let’s out a huge F bomb and another father and I had to throw up our arms to point out children were in the store. Then when I go to pay he wouldn’t look at me and did not say thank you. We have stopped going and will do whatever we can to never go again and tell everyone we know how bad this place is.

******CUSTOMERS BEWARE********
I came to this store today and asked my daughter to purchase some water that was on sale and something else. When she came out, she did not purchase what I told her to purchase and I proceeded back into the store to purchase the correct items. When I went in, I was assisted by an employee named Sharif??? I told him what the issue was and that I wanted to return the items and make the correct purchase. He returned most of my items and told me to leave his store because I was «PLAYING WITH HIM»! WTF do I look like a child! I’m trying to correct a transaction and purchase the correct items to get the sale price of what I wanted. This person was EXTREMELY RUDE and LOUD! What a true idiot. I immediately called 7 Eleven’s complaint line and also took a picture of the idiot! Here you go! Oh and BTW, posting this on FB and Twitter!

One particular member of the staff is extremely rude and acts as if he is doing you a favor by waiting on you. I had to ask twice for a bag and he told me he was busy and want listening to me when I first asked and said I should be nice when asking for something. I wont shop in the 7-​Eleven again

The service here sucks and never give you a receipt. They also give you a nasty look when you ask them to scan the Barcode on their app.

I usually have a good experience at this store. Thats why i give them a three. Up until a couple of days ago when they tried to charge me full price (1.59)for a cup of hot water. He told me i had to pay for the cup. So why not charge 50 cent or something??? you dont charge full price for a cup of water. then when i said i didnt want it he told me i still had to pay for the damaged cup. THE FULL PRICE OF A CUP OF COFFEE! Which is ridiculous! Dumbest concept

Hungry and trying to get a lot of food for not a lot of money? Get an entire pizza for $ 5.55. I was hesitant at first. Because, I mean, come on… It is 7 – 11 after all. Make sure you get a whole fresh pizza though. Not pizza by the slice. The slices can sometimes spend far too much time under the heat and get dried out while the crust becomes rock hard and in edible. When you order a whole pizza they will make a fresh one for you in their magical oven from the gods. I have never seen a machine cook a pizza so perfectly in such record time. Two minutes and thirty seconds flat! And you have lunch today and tomorrow. Boom! Now, don’t say I never did anything for you. I highly doubt I would ever go through the trouble of writing a partial essay in regard to 7 – 11 and pizza! I have got to be honest though. This location has a pretty limited selection in general as far as everything else. Compared to other locations, it’s always been a bit frustrating that they don’t have a lot of the basics of the other 7 – 11 stores. The staff is a hit or miss as well. All in all not bad though.

I often come this location cause it is easy to get in and out of. They are adequately staffed or they open multiple registers to get you in and out. I’m anti lines so I totally I dig that!
They have enough parking, are always clean (that’s a huge one), and have friendly workers. What more can you ask for?!

This is a decent location, with adequate parking, ‘tho it shares the lot with other businesses and there’s not any adjacent street parking (Felton is a 2 way street with no parking nearby and this part of Artesia does not have immediately convenient front street parking). Also, if you see a few of the local transients, ‘tho I’ve not seen nor heard of any incidents, you might want to keep on driving, there’s an Albertson’s 3 blocks down and other options if you don’t feel like engaging with ‘em.
I do like the SLURPEE, the frozen drink that’s like the Slush or Icee, but ⁷⁄₁₁ usually has a good range of flavors. You’ll need to look at the quality to see if it’s too watery and not ready yet ‘tho as the consistency varies. There’s a point of perfection where quite frankly the best ones you can drink fast and they’re «fluffy» — — the worst ones are either like syrup or like a snow cone of crystallized ice and hard to drink.
It’s a convenience store serving the Seven Eleven 7 DEADLY SINS…
LUST = they do have condoms and sell male enhancement supplements as well as porn mags behind the counter.
GLUTTONY = they have not only the big gulp, but the super big gulp for those who need 44 oz of soda…
GREED = they sell lottery scratchers, mega millions, power ball and other legalized gambling tickets…
SLOTH = it’s a convenience store, most of the food is ready to eat, hot dogs on the rollers, microwavable items, sandwiches pre-​made, you can be in and out in minute if not seconds… They have hot food, cold food, beverages, snack foods, chips, candy, beef jerky, donuts, cigarettes, magazines, both essentials and impulsive non-​essentials.
WRATH = this location is the exception, but most 7/​11, the people behind the counter have wrate… but as applies with all 24 hour establishments, you’ll fine the drunken customers at 2am or the panhandlers usually have a certain amount of rage and impatience whose ire is to instigate bringing out.
ENVY = Every time you hear of someone else winning the Lottery, or there’s a huge jackpot prize, envious patrons line up to buy tickets for the next drawing.
PRIDE = many people who walk into a ⁷⁄₁₁ think they’re better than that, but they’re not. It’s a good place, so folks can park their high horse outside, c’mon in and get what they need and leave quickly and conveniently.
The service has always been nice here, so unlike the stereotypes, this location is more warm and friendly than other locations that’s more stoic.
Here’s what I learned about 7 – 11 that’s on their «Secret Menu» so to speak…
1)
If you’re looking for DAY LABORERS (either that or maybe they’re Latin male escorts?) you can just drive up and they’re on the Felton Lane side, outside of the 7-​Eleven. I’ve never used ‘em so don’t know what their rates are or level of skill nor trustworthiness. So, engage at your own risk whether soliciting ‘em for work or play.
2)
I learned from some friendly hooligans in a subway while in NY that if you buy some cheap alcohol and pour it into your SLURPEE, you can have an instant FROZEN MARGARITA, PINA COLADA or a DAIQUIRI… Cheers!
3)
If you buy Doritos or anything else, you can ask to use their cheese whiz type soft spread and «NACHO-​FY» anything with a hot tasty topping.

Babu & Suzie are awesome. It’s busy when I get my coffee every morning but these guys work hard. Hey it’s ⁷⁄₁₁ so we’re not talking «Nordstrom Stories» but they’re friendly, helpful and always keep their cool.

I had been craving an ICEE at the movie theaters, but their machines were broken, so after the movie I came here for a late night slurpee. $ 1.99 ($ 2.16 after tax) for an XL slurpee, as opposed to $ 5.50 at AMC, so pretty good deal. I got the new mango flavor, and was happy. They only get 3 stars though because some of the lids were dirty, and the cups were dirty… probably from another careless patron but still I didn’t enjoy getting my hands sticky even before I got my own slurpee… that and there wasn’t anything particularly noteworthy about the place… that said, it is a 7 – 11 so I wasn’t expecting much.
