7-Eleven

No public restrooms! How can you not have public restrooms?

Let me start by saying that its obviously very hard for a convenience store to get 1 star. This 7 – 11 Has everything you need, all the time. It’s perfect. Kind of.
Here’s the thing… This day in age I find it harder and harder to spend my money where its not appreciated. The fact of the matter is the cashier at this fine establishment spends most of the time broing down with his friends through his ear piece instead of tending to his customers questions or needs.
It’s annoying when I stand at the counter and say hi to him and he throws his pointer finger up, waves it at me as if I’ve done something wrong, and then gestures towards his ear piece because he is to busy to greet his customer or be remotely helpful.
Long story short this 7 – 11 gets 1 star because my money isn’t appreciated. I will no longer go there. I know most people out there go because they have to and I used to be one of those people as well. Not any more.

We always seem to forget to load up on alcohol and snacks before arriving at The Resort at Squaw Creek, so this place is our save-​all!
$ 14.99 is fair for an 18-​pack of Bud Light. The long line moved quickly. Well-​stocked. Clean, spacious aisles. Close to Resort at Squaw. Convenient for guests staying there! Had just about everything we needed.

I can’t drive in the snow. I know, I know — I’m from Canada, I SHOULD be able to drive in the snow. But I’m from the very flat, nearly sub-​tropic part of Canada, which I’m sure will have alligators roaming it’s streets in a couple of decades, with the globe heating up at the rate that it is now.
Yesterday I ran a nice lady in a big SUV off the road because I did a donut in the middle of Highway 89 while driving my husband and son to Northstar. Sorry lady. She was really, really angry and I was in a momentary state of shock and got turned around (donut left me heading back in the direction that I came from) so I kept driving. There was no place for me to pull over without holding up traffic or going off the road myself, but I still feel bad about not stopping. We turned around at the first possible place, which was Squaw Valley. There was a 7 Eleven at the corner and that’s where we went. This location was definitely the lighthouse to my lost ship.
My husband realized that I may not make it home in one piece with the roads the way they were and my recent display of driving deficiencies, so he went into 7 Eleven for chains. I’ve never driven a vehicle with chains on the tires — we use salt where I come from. While he put the chains on, I went in for provisions for me and the children. We munched on donuts (ha ha), chocolate milk for them and hot, but not so good coffee for me. The lady who was working behind the counter made me feel better when she said that even she went for an unintended spin that morning. We also bought an ice scraper brush and a plastic toboggan — you can’t find those items at my neighborhood 7 Eleven. I made it back to the condo we rented for our vacation without incident, so those $ 40 chains were well worth the money.
By the way, the lady in the big SUV was not there when we got back on the road and passed that spot, after we got the chains on and drove back.
