7-Eleven

Isn’t the 711 business model /​the notion of a 711 in 2013 anachronistic? Maybe the River Rd. location could ditch the life boat and wade into the waters of 712… ie beyond 711. Funny! :)
How about a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables? (utilize the 711 locations across America and appeal to a larger market /​demographic)
How about 86ing the tripe low-​grade dog food Slurpys and leading by example — showing our youth quality nutrition is important? (the sheeple — cheap sugar /​synthetic additives model is over, 711. You can’t get away with it too much longer).
Apart from these couple points, the locations of 711 stores are useful, and the 711 staff and workers tend to be cool… thank you for this.

711 is a great place to go for slurpees!
Also they are always open! Like always. 2 am? yep. christmas day? yep.
so if you need anything and everything else is closed. try a 711.
If you try a slurpee my fav flavors are piña colada and banana. and even the two together. try em!

As a self-​styled expert of all things 7-​Eleven, I can tell you steadfastly and with a stout heart that the 7-​Eleven franchise as it exists in Oregon is the best on the Western Seaboard.
How, you ask?
Where do I even start?
There is no sales tax to speak of – ergo, $ 2.99 means* $ 2.99, damn the extra 9.75% or whatever it is we pay in this infernal county. Plus one for that.
A large cup of 7-​Eleven coffee is only $ 1.49, whereas we in LA pay $ 1.69. Plus one for that, plus another one because the plastic coffee cap things here are fancier than ours and I am easily impressed**.
The coffee here is actually better, brewed stronger and more frequently, presumably because there is not a 7-​Eleven on every fucking corner. Plus one for that.
The cashier was actually friendly, probably because he was stoned off his ass. Plus one star for that.
The only downside?
No sales tax means a higher alcohol tax, which does not bode well for this dipso’s wallet. I can forgive 7-​Eleven this indiscretion – surely, the state government did not consult them when establishing the tax – but that does not mean that I have to like it. Minus one because I am petty and like to drink.
You know what that means?
Not much, other than that this 7-​Eleven gets four stars.
*pretend that this «means» is in italics. Go on, I will wait for you.
**but seriously, guys, HOLY SHIT. There’s this little plastic spinny thing in the cap that allows you to open and close the mouth hole thing at will! At will, I say!
