7-Eleven

I have never in my life felt so degraded. My first time inside this store and I honestly will never set foot back here. I came to this store to purchase a Paypal reloadable card to get a Lyft ride home, after walking to 4 other locations that didn’t have the card. I was so tired from walking so far and once I finally got to the store was so happy to find the card. Once I got the card I attempted to activate it inside the store, but the card wouldn’t allow me to. I was getting frustrated and so I squatted down because I was really tired from walking. A younger guy that was at the register and rung me up asked me if I was okay and I said yes, but I can’t get the card activated. He said something and walked away, but I didn’t hear him. My husband who noticed what was going on told me to stand up, I didn’t think much of it so I stood up and continued trying to get the card activated. Then another older guy says to me, you need to leave now… Once you buy you need to leave the store. I was startled and then he proceeded to say my boss just called and said he wants you to leave, because he sees you on the camera. Basically, because I’m black and they couldn’t see me behind a fixture, they assumed I was stealing something. Mind you, it’s 10:00pm and 40 degrees outside and I was already freezing… I just wanted to get the card activated before I left the store since it was already giving me issues. I asked the older guy politely why he was being so rude, and explained what I was doing and he insisted and started being even more rude and told me to get out, and reiterated his boss said I need to go outside. I explained the problem with the card and asked if I could at least return it and the guy said no he doesn’t do returns, if I want to return I need to leave and come back tomorrow and speak to the manager… The one who called and requested I leave. Bottom line, I have never written a review period. I felt so disrespected and if I could I would’ve just return the card right then and there and find somewhere else to go. In the eyes of someone ignorant this guy would be looked at as a terrorist. I don’t judge anyone for any reason and it’s so sad that all these people saw was the color of my skin once I walked in the store. You should be ashamed of yourself, have a heart. Asshole.

This 7 – 11 has been in this location for years!
When I’m driving along Baseline and need a quick snack or have lotto fever, I stop by to get my quick fix. Some of the cashiers can be friendly and some have a bad attitude. There’s not much I can put out for this 7 – 11 other than the delicious slurpees and great promotions on the Rockstar and Monster Energy drinks.
The store is maintained pretty well and some of the workers are customer friendly. Be careful at night, the parking lot can look real sketchy and the lighting is really dim.

Great place same staff for years my office is just down the st … We go for coffee all the time!

Too many times I go here and they don’t have items stocked. A complete waste if time and gas. Go to CircleK.

I like going to this store it’s really close by and the cashiers are always nice to talk to.
