Two words: Big. Gulp. Headache? Migraine? PMS? Asthma? Caffeine is a life saver! Seriously — sometimes the only thing that keeps me sane with a massive migraine is a fist full of Aleve and a Big Gulp full of Diet Coke. 32 ounces of OTC sanity. Big Gulps have come a long way from the measly 12 oz drink size. And if that doesn’t float your boat, there’s always the Super Big Gulp(44 oz), X-Treme Big Gulp(64 oz.), and Team Gulp(1 gal.) Although, I don’t think these are found in California. Oh well, I doubt the Team Gulp would fit in my car’s cup holder anyways.

I stop at this location more than once a week. I come here to get my daily 16oz red bull, since my job thinks it is necessary for me to be at work at 5am. Gotta have my wings! Anyway… I don’t know what is up with the people here. I will get to the register and they just walk away from me, as if I’m invisible. Literally, they will look at me walking up and then proceed to walk away. Thanks man, as if I don’t feel lonely enough, you gotta act like I don’t exist. I will typically stand there, quiet, while they do whatever they feel they need to do. While standing there quietly I will usually burn a hole in their head from staring, while thinking to myself, «is this really happening to me right now?» I am a pretty passive person, so I’ve never said anything, even though it happens almost every single time I come in. Maybe they know they can take advantage of me, maybe I should start acting like the hulk? Until that day comes, I will continue to be the lonely, under caffeinated, quiet girl that gets ignored at 7-Eleven. Oh and I gave an extra star because they do have a wide variety of snacks. I love snacks and they have tons.

A few things to note about this 7-Eleven: Dual Redboxes out front. Decently priced gas for the area. Slurpees!!! Flavor bar for your coffee and big gulps! I only end up here for movies and sodas. It’s more of a Starbucks drive thru.

I regularly use this location for lottery tickets, quick fuel stops since there is NOTHING in the northwest when it comes to gas stations. But my biggest reason I stop here is the dual redbox location station. Although it is usually crazy busy here I can usually get a rental on my iPhone app here and for returns it is handy if no one is there to use both boxes. Makes it go faster if you are a marathon renter as we are. Hey redbox maybe you need a drop off slot on the side of the box so we don’t have to wait for those who want to peruse the box for a movie choice? Ok back to the 7 – 11 this store has a crazy busy parking lot due to the Starbucks next door so the northwest exit is impossible sometimes to negotiate because some people don’t have parking lot etiquette. Otherwise how much more can I say about a strictly adhered to franchised store and except it’s open 24⁄7365 days a year what more could you want?

Great game prices and great selection compared to other gas stations. There are always things on sale compared to any other store.

A decent 7-Eleven store. So busy, they need more help behind the counter. There has been many a time that I will not stop in because they are packed with people, and there will be just one cashier! Overall though, when I do go inside the shop is clean. So that is a good thing. 3 stars all the way. Would be higher rated, if they had more help.

It’s a 7 – 11. What do you want me to say? It sells gas which, while not being the cheapest in town, is far from the most expensive. It sells most munchies that you could possibly be craving, though at a «convenience store» price. It sells just about every type of refrigerated caffeinated drink you need to get your tweak on. Did I mention Slurpees? It’s on a corner so it has easy access. All of this adds up to 3 stars«a-okay». So why did I give it 4 stars? Simple! It’s next to Starbucks — duh! When I’m in a rush and both I and my car are in need of a quick pick-me-up this is a quick one stop shopping experience. I can fill up, then cross the parking lot and put some gas in my car, too! There are mornings I just don’t have time to make two separate stops, and you would NOT want me to skip my caffeine fix — trust me on this one!

EXTREMELYRUDE. The woman working behind the counter tried to make me pay for my gas AGAIN and asked that I pay for ice, even though every time I have asked before for ice there has been no charge(Ice from the fountain into my own water bottle). She gave me too much attitude for 6:30 in the morning or any time of day for that matter. They are very stingy and will never have my business again. I suggest you do not give them yours either!

Hey it’s 7 – 11 what do you want me to say? This one is very clean. My only gripe is that they don’t nor ever will have Cinnamon Stride Gum. Best gum in the world. Very nice people. I don’t buy the gas because it’s supplied by the Reds(commies). the rest of the shop is just great.

7-Eleven is 7-Eleven. However, I visit this store frequently due to the Redbox located outside. Who doesn’t love $ 1 movie rentals???
