7-Eleven

I love this place. There is a super sweet little Mexican lady who works here and she’s just awesome. Always gives above and beyond customer service. I don’t know her name but they need to promote her! She’s always on top of it. Just had to give the kudos where they’re due. Thanks for the great service all the time!

Slurpees, coffee, candy, and very convienantly located right by firestone so when waiting for car to get finished I can be munching. Never too busy and friendly cashier.

Slurpees! Enough said! LOL
Actually no… this location is usually clean and the staff friendly. And of course they have slurpees! ;-)

Clean, with good candy selection.

OMG every time I come here I get a refill which rings up .99 cents they say 1.00 and expect to keep the penny. I know it’s not much but they do this to everyone and when I ask for my penny they actually get upset about it.

*Leans up from outside (the never-​locked) door-​jam, spits tabacky-​juice out, extinquishes cig out on boot heel* «Time for SNACKS, bitches…»
*Looks you, the reader, dead-​in-​the-​eye — narrates a tale* «Yeah? So whaddaya lookin at??? So I comes here. I makes no bones about it. The history of 7-​Eleven is the shadow-​history of this nation, and many a young boy’s coming of age… of becoming a MAN…»
*Opens bag of Skittles, pops them in his mouth* «I’ve been coming to 7-​Eleven ever since I was knee-​high to a grasshopper. Well, actually, I lived in the city, so it would be more appropo to reference cockroaches. Oh wait now — that’s just a bug-​analogy to my youth, so keep it at that, ya hear?» *Points and shakes Slim-​Jim menacingly, at you, the reader.*
*Rips opens a bag of Spicy Nacho Doritos* (crunch crunch) *spews out some Dorito-​particles while talking, brushes them off your shirt* «I sees it like this, see? 7-​Eleven represents the youth — and their single-​moms — of America. Where else can a disheveled youngster and his mom wearing only a moo-​moo or sweat-​pants (or a moo-​moo with sweat-​pants underneath) come and buy products that contribute to this great engine that is the nation’s economy without feeling out-​of-​place as one would if shopping — like the ELITE in this country do — at WalMart? Sometimes you just don’t want to dress up in your jeans…
*Turns to his buddy, Minh* «Dammit those Doritos are hot! My tongues on fire! Hand me one of those, please. Thank you, buddy. *Opens 24-​ounce can of COORS LIGHT, wipes the refreshment of sprayed amber ale from his shirt that he spilled it on* «Many a night was spent in this here parking lot outside the store, on a Saturday night, sharing tales and deeds of manhood with my buddies. True, true… many of them were lies, made-​up tales. But the bond of friendship that was built upon these falsehoods has withstood the test of time, and all the sleeping around we did with each others’ girlfriends shows how 7-​Eleven represents the emotional psychology and self-​esteem of many young men in this day and age.»
*Grabs (accidentally) a Mineral Water, Spits-​Spews it out* «Dammit! I thought that was beer! Tell Carrie to keep her drinks out of my hands & arms’ range of motion!»
*Opens a Colt 45 Malt Liquor* «The great Billy Dee «Lando Calrissian» Williams said about this malt liquor, «It works every time.»
.c…
And to me, this malt liquor represents what America SHOULD be today, with more racial harmony, more jobs, a winning basketball team (instead of those losers we have), and… better prices for this malt liquor.
*Scratches his Lotto tickets* «You see, life is like this here game of chance. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But whichever it is, you’re always gonna be hungry and thirsty. And when you ARE, you can come here and get that fix. That’s what I’m saying.»
*Finally chomps down on the Slim-​Jim* «So that’s my take on things. You don’t have to agree with me, or even sympathize partially with my position on the need for small-​store anchors in neighborhood communities, or acknowledge my position that the consumerism represented by mini-​mart stores in general — and 7-​Eleven specifically — is the backbone of this nation’s economy… well, at least of part of it. Okay, a SMALL part of it, agreed, but you know what I’m sayin…
But there it is. As goes 7-​Eleven, so goes the nation…
THE LOWDOWN
7-​Eleven. It’s not just about Slurpees (or condoms) anymore. It’s about U.S. You and me, baby…
