7-Eleven

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.

Awful. It’s a shame cuz the manager is nice, but the cashiers are emotionless zombies who never say hi or anything for that matter. They move at a snails pace even when there is a line of 10 people. They always look confused like it’s their first day. Don’t bother trying to collect on your Belly rewards cuz they won’t understand you.

Stopped in here on a Friday night looking for some coffee creamer. We found it and we also found a long line. Felt like this was the only 7-​Eleven in the city and it was free Slurpee day. Neither is/​was the case.
Useless fact: There is a sink in here but it is for employees only. I would use it if it were an emergency and pretend I didn’t read the sign.

The ⁷⁄₁₁ on 201 East Ohio Street, Chicago IL 60 611‑3629 has the SLOWEST CUSTOMER SERVICE in all of Chicago! Try to avoid this location if at all possible. The service clerks who work behind the counter are very scattered and are never ready to ring costumers. They are known to have at least a 10minute to 15minute wait in line. The sad part is, they are well staffed. I’ve always seen sales clerks /​cashiers everywhere in the store «NOT BUSY DOING ANYTHING BUT TALKING» and there is only ONE clerk slowly checking-​out customers at one registrar out of 3 open registers. One registrar, I assume is for costumers wanting only to purchase lottery tickets. The ironic part about it, i think it’s there to avoid standing in a long line. BUT it’s pointless because no one is ever behind it working and ringing up costumers. The clerks spend all of their time focusing on gabbing and giggling while customers are waiting over 5 to 10 minutes to be checked out. If you’re on a lunch break around the area, PLEASE HEED THIS MESSAGE. So STAY AWAY from the ⁷⁄₁₁ on OHIO STREET and McCLURG. It’s not worth the wait. Especially when there is a super Walgreens just down the street with cheaper prices that can get you in and out in a jiffy. NO LONG WAITS or aggravation what so ever.
This is just a little friendly costumer advise. but do what’s best for you.

The line moves slowly

Nice store in all. They have everything you want to buy, especially huge choice of soft and hard drinks, food

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 they seemed to have fixed this issue now with cameras and better security.
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

For a 7-​Eleven I give this place four stars.
Found exactly what I needed after a long night of drinking, Motrin and Gatorade. Prices were fair and the service was quick. Store isn’t overly packed with merchandise so it’s easy to get around too.

Candy Gum should be near the cashier not hidden in the middle of the store. The Clerks are slow.

I sometimes go to El Pollo Bianco. .. Le Blanc Poullet, for lunch, ‘cos their made to order sandwiches are a good value, and tasty. However, the condiment assortment varies widely according to store.
How &#$^&#*@ hard is it to have a $%$&#%$ bottle of BROWN MUSTARD available for sandwiches? And why are you $%$&#%$ looking at me like I told you to pour gas on my $%$&#%$ sandwich and light it? Brown mustard is what you SHOULD use!
Keep that $^$&%&@ yellow baby s*hit away from my sandwich.
AND your plastic gloves do nothing if you go from making sandwiches directly to operating the cash register. Not clear on the concept, are we?
You know what? Forget it, cancel my order, I’m going to Jimmy John’s.

This 7-​Eleven has the dubious reputation of absorbing a White Hen, like a giant slurpee that has become sentient and rolls out of it’s cup, hungry for hen-​flesh. Indeed, the traditional half-​ass deli you might come to expect at a White Hen establishment has been replaced by a row of pre-​wrapped food and multiple cases of rotating, cylindrical meats.
The store layout is shoddy at best. There are only four aisles, all so short the selection is sure to disappoint. Want napkins? Kleenex? Well I hope you like the one brand this 7-​Eleven endorses. Paper plates?! What does this look like, the Mall of America? Lower your standards, Rockefeller.
And, of course, it houses an ATM machine for a bank thousands of miles away, ensuring an insane processing fee and a dial-​up connection so distant that checking your balance will take up your entire lunch break.
But, because this 7-​Eleven is lodged in the aorta of Chicago’s corporate ticker, it gets one massive thing right: energy drinks! They have lots and lots of goddamn energy drinks.
You like Amp, Mountain Dew’s younger brother with Asperger’s? They have four flavors! Want to put a Monster inside you, but in an exotic flavor like «Kaos» or «The Mixx»? Back your truck up and make that beeping sound, because they have it by the CASE. And lest we forget the lewdly named Bawls, an energy drink with caffeine levels so high there is a warning message on the side… it now comes in fucking ROOT BEER!

This is the worst worst worst White Hen/7−11 location I’ve ever been to in my life! The staff is ALWAYS rude, the prices are ridiculous, and their window displays often reflect expired «deals.» I gave this place multiple tries on my way to work when I needed a cup of coffee. I regretted it after every single try. I finally learned my lesson and went to the other White Hen on McClurg or Starbucks to get my coffee fix.
There are other much better places in the area where you are treated with more respect. No thanks and I’ll NEVER be back here again!!!

A 7-​Eleven with a little more personality. Looks like from all the reviews, they have good sandwiches and salads. But I don’t know, the thought of ordering sandwiches from a convenience store is a bit sketchy. But hey, maybe next time I am in Chicago, I’ll have to check it out.

i’m from michigan so i know nothing about white hens and i do see that they have breakfast sandwiches and stuff but it still seems kind of sketchy… i’m a good olé 7-​eleven girl and the majority of 7-eleven’s i’ve been in are a helluva lot nicer than white hen… but that’s just me.
the people working in here always seem like they have a corn cob up the bum.

A pretty decent selection of drinks and sandwichs. The lines move pretty fast and the food is fresh. Not a bad one at all.
