7-Eleven

I’m basically giving this 7-​Eleven location two stars instead of one because it is convenient in it’s location, hours and everything it has in it as a store. However, going to this one on a Sunday night just to pick up band aids and a couple drinks was pretty bad. We waited for twenty minutes in line just to get these few things. There was only one guy working, and he was moving at a snails pace. Which is half his fault, and half 7 – 11 fault for not staffing more people per shift. Also, I’m traumatized from a girl buying a bunch of lottery tickets and bending over to get them in her leggings that she was wearing like pants and seeing ALL of her bits and pieces. So did everyone else in the packed store.
Go here if need be, but just know what you’re in for.

Walking into this ⁷⁄₁₁ is like walking to a seedy underground bar. Genuinely rude cashiers.

This 7-​Eleven store is very busy. Dropped by here twice during our stay in downtown Chicago. Both times there was about a dozen people in line. Maybe, that is why the store and staff were not very impressive. The store was dirty and unorganized. Staff was not friendly, but they were fairly quick.
After the second trip here, I decided we would not return here. Found another 7 – 11 store close by that was clean and crew was nice.

It’s a 7-​Eleven so not much to say… except:
1) It’s 24 hours which is nice when you’re in need of a slurpee at 3am
2) Being that it’s 24 hours and located near a couple hotels, get ready to see some drunk tourist from all over the world after midnight looking to feed the alcohol beast inside them
4) Prices here are definitely inflated compared to other 7-Eleven’s I’ve been to (welcome to downtown)
5) The employees tend to run hot and cold so be prepared for a warm smile or a look of disdain as you checkout

I hate this place. The staff are extremely slow and don’t care at all about the long lines that build up. I’ve seen employees lazily walking around behind the counter doing random stuff while only 1 register is open and 5 – 10 people are waiting in line. When they ring me up they never articulate clearly what the final amount is and I never know because the tax seems to get added on at the very end — I’ve had exact change ready based on the number shown on the register then the number changed — wtf. annoying.
The only reason I go in this place is because it’s the only convenient store within a 1 minute walk of my office plus they have a Citibank ATM.

Store review:
7 – 11 quick shop along the Mag Mile. I have been here before to buy random small items and checkout was fast. It is well lite and clean. There use to be a issue with panhandlers outside, but there appears to be less now with a sign installed
Pros: well stock, well lite, quick service
Cons: premium price for convenience
Hidden deals: Sign up on website to get emails about discount. There is always food items being promoted and discounted

I just got back from here almost 40 minutes
only writing this review right now because i have Internet access at Northwestern Hospital where I’m here with my mother receiving her treatments.
I wont say that this is a top of the line store, but the store is neat and the prices are about the same considering where it’s located at. The cashier Maria was super clean. She rang me up for my order of 2 Jalapenos and Cheese Taquitos ($ 1.29 each), and immediately washed her hands! That almost never happens anymore.
I think that lady deserves a raise. like instantly. Other than that, its a pretty basic store just like the rest. Remember its the location that makes any store what it is or what it will be. Its in the Chicago loop with a million stores to choose from ranging from low end McDonald’s around the corner to Gucci and Prada (also around the corner).Its like a miniature New York for those that have never been to Chicago.
Parking would be hell, so no i don’t recommend coming here for anything unless you happen to either be shopping, some type of tourist, have a loved one in the hospital or on your way to the beach for a fun day out… Did i mention it was only a few blocks away from Lake Shore Drive with a perfect view of the Chicago skyline.

I hate this seven eleven. It’s not the seven elevens fault. There’s just always someone panhandling outside regardless of any imaginable variable.
The positives would be they have a nice slurpee selection. And I was able to find the ever elusive Megatron slurpee cup here. So it’s not all terrible.

Mangomania Slurpee served up here! Good place to go when the ²⁴⁄₇ grocery store is more like ¹⁸⁄₇.
