7-Eleven

I can remember when Baked Lays potato chips were a «thing» and you could find them in all the grocery stores, and in big bags. Now I have to go to either 7-​Eleven (certain ones) or to a Subway sandwich shop. This 7-​Eleven always has my baked lays. I’m kind of addicted to them.
Paired with a frosty Coke Zero and voilà, I have my perfect breakfast. I don’t come here for anything else. It always smells good like freshly brewed coffee and the folks working at 3:00 AM are always chipper even when I’m not.
Thanks 7-​Eleven for helping me get my day started off in the right direction.
2015 — Review # 77

I intend to write this review from the perspective of a «former» regular. This 7-​Eleven is always busy. Probably 50% of the time, there is nowhere to park. However, the line goes relatively quickly, even if you have to park illegally to shop there, and I’d like to qualify a statement everyone else is saying about this 7-​Eleven, that is as long as you don’t complain, the staff are friendly.
I used to go into this 7-​Eleven on the daily. I’d probably spend «on average» about $ 5 a day in this store, between myself and the rest of my family. True, $ 150 a month is not much, but it adds up over the course of the year. I used to fill up my mug with soda, and I was charged the same price in the same mug for over a year. Then one day, they got a new employee, who started charging me $ 1.50 per refill, instead of the $ 0.99 I’d been charged as a daily regular for over a year. I’ll just call this employee «nerd boy», not as a way of calling him names per se, but I don’t think we’re supposed to use names, and this way you’ll recognize him when you come in, and avoid his register. He may not be a nerd, but he kind of looks like the stereotype of one. When I complained, they sided with the employee, even though nerd-​boy was not following policy, because it looked like, to him allegedly, a bigger mug than it was. No money was refunded, and I continued to be hassled when I came in by this employee. In fact, some of the other employees began to charge me more than a dollar as punishment for complaining.
One more aside. My wife also saw nerd-​boy in the parking lot buying pills off of a former employee. He wasn’t even trying to hide it. I understand that people have problems like that, but right in front of customers?
So, I quit shopping there. Plaid Pantry is right up the street, the lines are shorter, the parking is better, the prices are always better, and the customer service is better. If you shop at this 7-​Eleven regularly, I suggest you check out the Plaid up the street off Cornell rd., and save yourself the hassle!

Malachai and I popped off the freeway on our way back to Tillamook from a little Portland Road-​Trip. If you haven’t read any of my other reviews from today, it’s Free Slurpee Day! There was a mob of happy Slurpee seeking savages (scouts of some kind) waiting in line for their turn.
The reason I decided to add this review is that even though that line was long, and we had to wait a little bit… the customers that were there to buy those things we generally pop into 7 – 11 on our way to work, appointments, are all sorts of other places when we’re in a hurry didn’t have to wait in that line. One door was being used for the free slurpee mob, and the other for customers that weren’t there on a leisurely free Slurpee excursion. The line for Slurpees actually moved pretty fast, but even if it hadn’t it was a pretty fun place to be.
The employee (or owner even, I have no idea) that was wo-​manning the door even came outside and took pictures of the group. Even she seemed to have a good time.
The only downside, the Slurpee machine was gettin’ a workout and as a result was serving up something more akin to Slurpee soup. Malachai went for Grape and Coke, which at first he didn’t love all mixed together, and then, it grew on him.

I love this 7-​Eleven it’s always clean and the crew is extremely friendly especially graveyard when Jana is Working she’s amazing and this is the time I usually come through. It’s surprisingly safe at all times of the day and I love the red box outside.

This particular 7 – 11 is right around the corner from me so we pop in quite a bit. The store itself is clean, which is always a plus. The staff is super friendly and will give you advice on how to get the most bang for you buck when you get a slurpee or soda. They always chat with me and my toddler and I’ve never had to wait to pay for my items.
As far as items they have a pretty good selection, about on par with other 7 – 11’s in the area. And so far I’ve never had to deal with a drunk or creepy old guy hanging around outside it.

As Lesley said, it seems pointless & silly to review a 7 Eleven, but this location deserves every bit of praise it’s received. Very clean, well organized and stocked, and the staff is great. If you’re in the area and need a Slurpee fix, definitely visit this location.

Another 7 – 11
Nothing special here.

This is nice 7 – 11 because of location, cleanliness and the staff. The prices are of course 7 – 11 prices a bit steeper than going to a grocery store but one doesn’t go to a 7 – 11 for price. I myself go to get lottery tickets. Of course none of them have won but I don’t hold it against 7 – 11 but the odds of winning the lottery.
This store is always well stocked and organized. Mostly notably it is clean. Did I mention that. There is also a Redbox outside if you need a movie fix.
Parking is always available. Getting in and out of the place is quick and easy. This 7 – 11 puts convenience back into the name.

Cleanest, friendless, and best stocked 7 eleven we’ve visited in the 50 States!

I feel a bit odd reviewing a 7 – 11 as well. But like another reviewer I was taken aback by how exceptionally friendly much of the staff is.

Hey, it’s a 7 – 11, so what. Well Heather is the awesomest cashier I have had, anywhere, hands down. Most of the staff here seem really friendly and helpful most of the time which seems pretty unusual for a 7 – 11. I mean, it’s hard work, so I completely admire the good attitudes and smiles I am greeted with every time I come in here.

I know it might seem silly to review a 7 – 11 but if they are exceptional? They deserve to hear it just like any other business!
I have been into countless 7 – 11’s, but the folks at this store are awesome. They are always genuinely nice and outgoing. The store is well stocked and never had a problem in there with any food that went bad or anything weird. And since they are so close to me? This is great for those mornings when I want a Rock Star or my weakness for Vivarin. :)
Easy to get to right off Hwy 26, and off NW 185^th Ave.
Good parking, and open 24 hours, I think.
