7-Eleven

The store itself wasn’t a problem, though it wasn’t anything great to write about either. However, I do have problems with this place.
So a few years back, I used to take the 217 bus to Ohlone College using the bus stop outside this place. I’m not sure whether it’s because my face screams «steal from me,» but the crime rate around this store has got to be astronomical. I’ve been mugged twice along the side of this store on Washington Dr and at that point vowed never again to walk through that part of the neighborhood again. Also, last I heard, a poor clerk was murdered there somewhere back in 2010 – 2014.
If you value your belongings and/​or your life, you should consider visiting another 7-​Eleven.

Went there for a supposedly free slurpee on 7/​11, reallt dissatisfied since they want to charge 11 cents for the cup. I said, that’s not right, the adds said free! They don’t budge, and weird thing is that they sent a 10 yrs old boy to tell everyone that comes in there for the slurpees about the 11 cents charges. Me and another group of people immediately left, go to another 711 not far from this place, and get free slurpee as promoted! I hope the 711 Franchisor will recognize that this establishment is horrible and not following their guidelines!

unlike the parking lot next to this 7 – 11, there’s plenty of parking and many entry/​exit driveways. (the other one has only one driveway.)
still a bit hungry after a disappointing dim sum
eats: big gulp/​big bite (2)
–good value, dog semi-​salty.
take outs:
–no browsing necessary, almost all 7 – 11’s carry the same inventory, more or less.
just go and get what’s needed and go…

The really dark-​skinned Indian guy that works here who has the mustache and the glasses is garbage. I literally always say hi to this guy every time I’m there, but he just looks at me like O_​O. I truly believe he is on drugs half the time he works there. I don’t care if you can’t greet me. it’s like a liquor store, I expect this kind of customer service. However, one time I was purchasing alcohol and sweets. Found out about alcohol times and was told I couldn’t purchase it. Didn’t care about that either, but when I said I didn’t want the sweets as well then, he said «youdon’twantthistoo?» (yes as one muffled word) and threw them aside like an angry baby when I said no. Another instance, he was like stoned out of his mind because he was saying incomprehensible words to me when I asked him for some American Spirits, and trust me, it wasn’t his accent. He was speaking and the words came out so weird. Anyways, the old lady that works there is pretty nice and the short Mexican dude is okay.

The moto «Thank heaven its 711», is truth in advertising. I have been saved by the inevitability that they will always be open, except maybe Christmas half day, more than once. They have a variety of just about anything you need. There’s hot food, healthy and unhealthy snack food, pharmaceuticals, drinks of all sorts, sandwiches, doughnuts, auto supplies, candy bars, gum, cigs, liquor, lottery ticket and scratchers etc. The cashiers are ok .They always seem kind of tired which is understandable. But they are courteous and efficient for the most part. I used to work at 711 so I know the stuff they have to go through. They all keep their stores well stocked more or less. I love promos and stuff they have like free Icee day on ⁷⁄₁₁. They are completely invaluable when traveling and I like that they have a lot of healthy things to eat and fresh fruit. They are a much better place to grab a snack or meal than a fast food store. 711, please never go away!

It’s clean but the lady that works here has really bad customer service. I have been here several times and the times she has helped me, she never says hi and is not very friendly when I ring up. RUDE.

Nice how close it is to my house.
Wish they has better customer service, actually 1 bad apple they need to change that dude out! I’m not gonna say names but you know who you are Mr man!

Just like any other 7-​Eleven.

No, i only go here because it’s right by my house and even then if i can i’ll go down the street to 76. The old lady that works here is SLOW and rude. She see’s me at the counter and ignores me all the time for 5 mins till i get a pissed look and give her the evil eye. She always has some smart ass thing to say, maybe she just doesn’t like asian people because when someone is in front of me she is nice to them. The stuff here is over priced too compared to snacks/​stoges a block down.
btw that orange hair dye and caked on eyeliner DOES not work for a 60+ yo lady. gross.
Now i know people who work graveyard don’t exactly have customer service skills but literally she hates me! as i do her. 2 stars for the manager/owner?(with the kid) who works during the day and some nights, it would be 3 but the old lady leaves to much of a bitter taste in my mouth ew.
Only go here if extremely LAZY!

Compared to other local 7-eleven’s they had virtually NOTHING on sale, old lady behind the counter was VERY slow even if overly nice, I don’T CARE, i GO TO 7-​ELEVEN TO GET IN AND OUT quickly.

This has been my local 7-​Eleven for many years. I even applied for a job when I was 16 (I wasn’t hired, the owner explained that he knew it wasn’t my style).
We now have a late night relationship. They still offer me Marlboro Lights or Newports (an old boyfriend’s brand), even though I gave that habit up. It’s been the same crew. I watched the kid grow up. The food is fresh, except the hot dogs but I still get one from time to time.
They are now also my banking center thanks to Tech Credit Unions alliance with the Citibank/​Co-​Op Network. I haven’t seen the inside of a bank for awhile now.
What caused me to write a review after all this time is that I stopped by on the way to Unilocal’s Holiday Hangover to get some bartender tipping cash. Then my car wouldn’t start. I felt comfortable enough, and the employees kind enough, to allow me to leave my car keys so they could hand them to the tow-​truck driver upon arrival. I got to the event on time and was able to give my car an honorable farewell courtesy of Unilocal

Nothing special, but nothing worth minusing stars for at this place. I’ll review the workers there since I go here so often. Here’s the ones I’ve encountered.
Asian man; He has his good days and his bad days and his tired days. When he’s tired he’s mellow. When he’s good he smiles and cracks jokes every now and then. He’s a funny guy.
Beard dude: DUDE. This guy is the most passive dude I’ve ever met. He’s so unpredictable. It makes me wanna play poker with him ’cause he has a mad straight poker face. I dunno. He’s kinda scary.
The dude with the cute chubby son: You can tell this guy is such a loving guy. He’s the nicest out of all the workers. His son comes with him to work and they’re cool. He seems really appreciative of everything in life and that’s cool. He’s really polite as well.

Usually if I’m driving to Fremont the back way or just hanging out around the area, I’ll go to this one. Their slurpee machine works alot better than many of the others I have been to. Lately, theres 2 people who work there who are totally opposites…
First, you have Mrs. Voorhees, who some of you may know as Jason’s mom from Friday the 13^th. But, dont worry folks, she wont kill you for leaving her son unattended at camp. She’ll just try to charge you $ 5.00 for 2 slurpees and pretend like it aint no thang. Thats right. We were there earlier in the week. One large slurpee. One small.
She says «$ 4.62″
I thought thats what I heard so I asked „4.62?“
She confirms,“yes».
«For two slurpees?»…My mind began to wonder if there was a 500% increase on the price since I last bought one.
«Oh…wait.» she says.
Thats right, old timer, you’re not jacking me out of an extra 3 bucks. Even if you do look like Jasons mom.
And the other guy who is usually at the counter when I go there… we’ll refer to him as Blankman. Cuz he dont smile, he dont talk, he dont make eye contact, he dont say ‘thank you, come again’.He dont say a damn thing, thus making him blank man. Yeah, a real personality on this one.
With those two characters working at this location you’d think I would seek slurpees elsewhere, but they must be doing something right, because their machine runs pretty well. So I will continue to come and see Voorhees and Blankman until their machine dies out, despite the overcharging and unfriendliness. Til next time, folks…
