7- Eleven

Is Los Angeles, California just small change? Evidently 7 – 11 thinks so. Today, Friday February 12, 2016, a female 7 – 11 employee who is African American got a head start on celebrating President’s Day by robbing a 7 – 11 customer right at a 7 – 11 cash register. It happened at the 5501 South Figueroa Street 7 – 11 in Los Angeles, California, which is right near the University of Southern California and is open ²⁴⁄₇. The female employee took a twenty dollar bill for a purchase that was supposed to cost $ 4.35 plus sales tax and gave the customer back 65 cents. The female 7 – 11 employee pretended to check a security camera to see what kind of bill the customer gave her while a male 7 – 11 employee verified to the customer that the customer had, in fact, given his co-​worker a twenty dollar bill. This same male 7 – 11 employee, however, refused to give the customer his cell phone to call the police. Also at the 5501South Figueroa St. location in Los Angeles, an African American came in and picked up a free large fountain drink that he filled himself and walked right out in front of two male Latino 7 – 11 employees without paying. He simply scooted out and jumped into a late model grey Toyota. One of those same employees has over-​charged me a dollar for a small coffee. When will this stop?

The corn nuts were so-​so. Because of that I can’t go beyond 3 stars. However, they do a good job mopping the floors.

This place is revolting, but you knew that, right? Filthy. Gross food. Sludge coffee. When I asked if they had hard-​boiled eggs, I was directed to the refrigerator case and egg cartons. So, they are pretty stupid, too. But the worst part is the slimy guy at the register who palms your change. How the landlord of this building allowed this white trash hideousness (have you seen the signage?) on Madison Avenue is beyond me. Stay away. Far away.

I went to this 7 – 11 tonight and it was absolutely disgusting. The floors were beyond filthy. The coffee and slushy areas were downright nasty. The entire store was just overtly unclean. The manager should be ashamed of the condition of this store. I will never go back.

Pretty chill place. No complaints, but nothing blew me away in terms of amazing service. You go in, you pay, you go out. Haven’t had any problems here. I like that they’re open 24 hours too.

I’ve come here numerous times, in the morning between 7:30 — 9:30. The coffee is always expired or they don’t put out certain flavors in the morning (the busiest time of day for a place that sells coffee) The milk and creamer fridge is never stocked.
The staff is always rude and not helpful when you have questions.
The food is always expired in the hot food case.

I come here enough to the point where some of the staff recognize my face. They’re super friendly. If they ever run out of my favorite coffee creamer, they’ll gladly check to see if there’s more in stock. Most of the time there is! I’ve always had good experiences here. Good quality food and fast check out.

A solid in a pretty awkward spot but still with some good foot traffic and adjacent entrances with a decent selection,

What an awesome place!
Genuine good ppl, great prices, honest employees
Best variety in NYC
u can get anything from breakfast & lunch to snacks and ice cold slurpees
god bless u 7 – 11

Best 7-​Eleven I have ever been in. Plus the closest to Lord & Taylor.
Seriously, this store is very busy with a high end customer and the construction workers from across the street and the local cops and basically everyone, office-​workers, socialites, homeless. And everyone is treated very well, and equally. Always a line — but it moves very very fast.
They are super fast. If only one cashier is working, they will use both registers. The only store I have ever seen that is faster than the customers.
I am in here almost every day for something. Plus they have a great selection of fresh local vegan sandwiches and salads.

I really can’t say anything more than what the other reviews have said, other than that it was the best service we’ve ever received. Well, I guess that was to be expected from such a fine establishment with a rich suburban history — a part of everyone’s coming-​of-​age story who grew up on Long Island. A truly magical place. Late night, it’s eery glow is straight out of a southern gothic novel.
The service was friendly and warm, and not pretentious at all! We’ve gone out to eat at restaurants that made us feel supremely uncomfortable, and 7 – 11 felt like we were having dinner at a fancy friend’s place! The counter men were super sweet, and promptly brought warm brioche rolls every time I gobbled mine up (for the foie gras). If I can get a basket of those brioche rolls I would be in HEAVEN. They were buttery and flaky and warm — like a fresh baked croissant! But EVEN BETTER.
I wanted one of the hot dogs, but my companion also for the Wagyu beef upgrade, which was like eating juicy fatty tender… I can’t even call it beef since it was like a cross between pork belly and tender filet!
The butter was also amazing. Must have been made that day from fresh cream.
EVERYTHING from my meal at 7 – 11 was astounding. ASTOUNDING. I also had a stomach ache for a few days after since I’m not used to eating such rich food, and I ate WAY too much which was way too much for my digestive system… but anyway, worth every mouth full.

There was a time when a 7 – 11 was one of those places that New Yorkers only told legends about unless you were in the suburbs. I remember as a kid I had one near me on Long Island but I only recalled seeing one near Port Authority Bus Terminal over the years.
Starting a year or so ago however, 7 – 11 began to follow in the footsteps of places like Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts before it — popping up everywhere! This spread continues today and this 7 – 11 is part of that growth of the chain.
This is a medium sized 7 – 11. There are the usual aisles of junk food and convenience items. The day I went it was for coffee so I went straight to the gigantic coffee island set up towards the side of the store. It’s actually quite an impressive set up with a couple dispensers of each flavor. In the middle is a chilling chamber with creamers, milk and even flavored creamers to use. I wound up picking the Hazelnut.
Check out was quick and I didn’t find the staff over friendly or unfriendly — just neutral. I noted with some amusement behind the counter they were selling an umbrella with a handle shaped like brass knuckles designed to (I’m not kidding) allow you to text while you hold the umbrella.
The coffee was good, not amazing but on par with Au Bön Pain. In other words, not too heavy on the flavor but it does the job in a pinch.
A good 7 – 11, not extraordinary by any means but okay to visit if you need to grab something quick.

Clean… Quick… No fee ATM. What more could one ask for…

slurrpeeeeeee! a lil on the pricy side cause im used to 2.07 for the largest size but this place is 2.80. oh well still cheaper than a lot of other places around hearld square. well more so k-​town or more east. the slurpee machine works and has great flavors. cherry, coke, and then random other ones. thats all i go to 7 – 11 for. and they accept credit card. bonus!

Immediately following a job search lecture nearby NY Public Library– SIBL, 7-​Eleven was my on-​the-​go dinner! Well, when you’re on a budget it may not be the best meal but is edible and foots the finances.
Store # 35 057 sits on Madison Avenue which appears many 7-​Eleven are culminating in Manhattan, whereas this location is microscopic small. There is no floor space for a checkout line to wrap around. The structure appears newer and very modern. I was able to attain a simple and cheap sandwich at $ 4.99 with wholesome package of three chocolate chip cookies at $ 1.49. Cashiers are attentive and friendly in a non-​robotic form much better than the typical 7-​Elevens.

So Happy This Opened.
I love me a good slurpee. And I don’t drink them often, maybe once every couple of months, but they’re so icey and delicious and I always have to get in my car to get one… but NOW I can just mosey on down the block from my office and pick one up!
7-​Elevens are great, and they have pretty good, cheap coffee. And, they’re part of my ATM network so, no fees.
Welcome to my hood!

I believe this placed opened earlier this year (January?). I just remember walking by it’s familiar sign with a «Coming Soon» notice on the door, and saying «YIPPEE! — I see slushies in my future!» I haven’t had the slushie yet, but I have enjoyed their iced coffee and the bahama mama sausage sandwich (which was yummy). I’m a hot dog girl peeps — I grew up with hot dogs in my fried rice for heavens sake. So, naturally, a place that has a huge variety of hot dogs cooked all different types of ways speaks to me… loudly.
This 7 Eleven is kept clean, and the cashiers are very nice. It’s not very crowded, which suits me perfectly. I can get in and out in 5 – 10 minutes.

I’m a fan of anything open past midnight since most shops close insanely early on the West coast. It is seriously an issue for night owls.
That being said, I was barely finishing up the dregs of my crazy walk to/​from the Brooklyn Bridge from E. 48/​Lex but after being disappointed by various bad shots due to the construction and scaffolding, I was dead. My legs were swollen. A blister was forming on the bottom of my left foot. And my shoulders were aching from the heavy camera gear and tripod stowed away in a sling. Throw in a day of 80 degree temps with the humidity to boot… I was looking like a nasty sweat-​dripping mess.
Apparently this is attractive: being grumpy, dressed in leggings + t-​shirt, slinging the camera gear, and sweating like a pig. Because during that 5 mile trudge back to my hotel, I received numerous cat calls from passing cars, packed bars, and 3 men from their dump trucks. What a compliment.
When I realized I had only 18 more blocks to cover prior from reaching the hotel, I ducked into this 7-​Eleven to purchase something to drink.
7-​Eleven works for several reasons:
1. Slurpees during the hot summers.
2. Cheap-​ass coffees for all times of the day.
3. Beer/​drinks/​sodas + chips in the event you forget about that potluck.
4. Cheap-​ass hot dogs and nibblies for those in need.
5. Clean bathrooms. Better than gas stations.
And in this case, the staff were sociable and interested in what a tourist like me was doing out around 1:30 a.m. in the morning. I purchased a Snapple diet lemon drink in a glass bottle and let’s just say it was finished way before I finished walking those last tortuous 18 blocks home.

I wasn’t at a computer at all yesterday so I’ll do two Underdog reviews today.
This 7 – 11 isn’t as good as the one I usually go to on 3^rd Avenue and 28^th Street – not as clean, surly staff and the fountain sodas don’t taste as well-​mixed. Otherwise, it’s your standard 7 – 11.

Why am I reviewing another 7-​Eleven? Because it’s there and I can dammit!
Actually, I was walking home from lunch today and passed by not even realizing this location was even in my work neighborhood.
Nothing like getting a hot cup of coffee after a big lunch to help digest. I don’t know why I like 7-​Eleven. Maybe it’s because they have multiple flavored coffees to choose from that actually taste pretty good, and a bunch of flavored creamers to add to them. I always enjoy an ice cold Slurpee and this location has eight different flavors. These spots are like mini-​groceries/​drug stores and you can find almost anything here in a pinch. Plus, 7-Eleven’s are normally clean, bright, and organized as this one is. Counter staff here was nice too.
Still, I refuse to eat those meat product thingy’s on the rotating grill. I don’t care how drunk I get or how late it is. No sir, no how! Is that really meat anyway?
