This is MY neighborhood 7 Eleven.
Every time I walk in I’m greeted by «my friend» Singh. It never fails he always says «hello how are you are boss». I hate it when people call me «boss» but somehow its OK when Singh calls me that.
My standard purchase… a 32 oz fountain drink, a bag of Funions, two quick picks (one mega and one super) and I’m on my way. This store is friendly, fast, always clean and has everything you need from kitty litter to box wine.
After my transaction complete its «have a nice day my friend»!

Last Saturday night this 7 – 11 was on the way to our destination and someone in the group needed to stop from some cigarettes (boo!). Anyways, we pulled up and there was a bmx bike laid down on the ground in one of the parking spaces… we made jokes and laughed and thought it was funny the bike was «parked» in one of the spots.
Upon entering the near empty store it was apparent who the bike belonged to, the little kid in front of us. This kid had to have been around 10 years old, no older than 11. This kid tried to buy a pack of Swisher Sweets at 7 – 11! WTF did I just hear him right? The lady at the counter laughed and asked for his id. Of course he didn’t have one so he left. Five stars for not selling tobacco to a minor! Although we had a good laugh about this it was actually really sad that at 11:30 at night this young kid was out by himself trying to swishers.

Slurpee! C’mon now, who does like Slurpees. After this last heat wave I almost brought an Arrowhead Water bottle to 7 – 11 so I could go home and fill up my bath tub with the stuff. Ahhh, how cool would that be?
Plus they have a good selection of soft drinks and beer. Just stay away from the hot dogs on the rolly deal. That just isn’t good.
