7-Eleven

Phew! Just avoid this store because of the fat black lady at the counter! She is rude and aggressive. When I was trying to choose milk looking at the bottles, she attacked me with words: WHAT ARE YOU DOING? And she said I must quit the store quickly. When I said to her I will complain to her boss and that she should change her job, she only repeated five times in the presence of other customers: «Good-​bye». Just like a parrot.

By far one of my least favorite 7-​eleven stores for a couple of reasons.
First, there are always 2 – 3 panhandlers loitering in front. Today, one literally stepped right in front of me blocking my way and asked me for $ 1.25, wow… bold! Not can you spare some change, but literally «can you give me $ 1.25»
Second, this is a very busy store with a very small lot, maybe 6 parking spots. When it’s really busy, I have to park next door @ Starbuck’s.
Third, the parking lot is terrible to leave. There are two exits onto Weidler eastbound (one of them is a forced right turn only) another exit onto a side street that just winds around the block onto NE Grand, or you can cut through the Starbuck’s parking lot and exit onto NE Grand southbound. There is NO good way to head northbound or westbound from this lot!
If this wasn’t the only convenience store near my job, I would never come here!

Never buy a refill cup from 711. They don’t follow the rules!
I bought a cold coffee cup for the nice weather coming. Yesterday they have me the refill first one free on my receipt. So this morning after dripping my kids off I decided why not?
I filled my cup and took it to the register with my free refill in hand. The cashier went rounds with my and said they don’t do it unless it is the same day. I asked to see the policy and she said the manager says it and he isn’t here.
Now I know it was only a $ 1.49 to refill but they had false advertisement. So I was told I could pour it out and that is what I did and left!!!
Now folks know how people are about coffee in the morning and I am not one but I don’t like being told one thing and getting another at service.
Lost my business

I ran into friendly staff each time I was here. They had some nice local brews in there, one of Deschutes Hanger brews was 10% and a better deal than at their local bar! (+1 for this) Its got all your basic 7 – 11 needs, your hot dogs that have been rolling too long, but does have some «fresh» sandwiches if you are brave. The also had the cider my wife wanted that I couldn’t find at the Walgreens near by. There was always a steady stream of people going into the store. Also on the last day there were employees on the phone with the police as someone had just walked out with a couple of beers, so don’t know how the area is, (so –1 star)

7 – 11’s scare the shit outta me… Especially 7 – 11’s that have the beer section LOCKED UP! Sure… Im from Eugene… and SURE… I grew up in a small logging community on the coast… It’s true I haven’t seen the crazy things that go down in the big town… But really? Locks on the beer? We had to get a frickin KEY to get beer! Not to mention, one of the cases locks were broken off due to brute force.
What’s scarier than a 7 – 11 with locks on the coolers? The dude who wanted a beer bad enough to break the lock on the cooler!
why didn’t I take a picture! O yah… I was guarding my wallet…

Happiness is a Slurpee.
A Big Gulp X-​Men Mutant Berry Slurpee on a sunny day in Portland.
And late night walks for the sodas we forgot.
And that weird guy that stands quietly behind the building whose eyes are so sad and who never seems to leave.
And the twirling hot dog ballet on the roasting grill by register.
And for an excellent variety of trashy magazines! You take the CAKE on the weirdest selections of magazines. From Teen Beat to Swimsuit Babes, you win.
And for wicker bowls of bananas and apples.
And for grabbing a few bottles of water before we hit the road on an early Saturday morning.
And for crazy loud drunks that come in yelling, «GIMME SOME MAAAAARBARO LIGHTSS!!» so loudly that you jump.
And for always stocking up on Carmex and Capt’n’ Crunch, yet mysteriously always out of floss?
Mostly, though, Happiness is a Slurpee.
And drinking it while walking in the sunshine.
