7-Eleven

Its a 7 Eleven and you cant really expect much but at least have emoloyees who dont give an attitude when you ask for something they only have access to… its convenient and ill go back but next time you will get just as much attitude from me as you give

I wish I could give this 7-​Eleven location a higher rating, but the collection of shady characters regularly swarming around this location (apparently prompting the beer coolers to be locked at all times) makes me wary of frequenting it. I thought loitering was against the law …

So. yes. I will now be reviewing my neighborhood 7 – 11.
Now. normally, I write kind and positive reviews.
Well. that wont be happening tonight.
Well.okay. I’ll try to be a little kind anyway.
Okay. so I normally dont go into 7 – 11 for major stuff but tonight
I was craving my favorite Banana Slurpee so in I went.
I was happy. anticipating my slurpee.
Well.I get to the slurpee machine and my Banana Slurpee
is no longer available.
This is not good. They have replaced banana with orange.
Dont want orange. wanted Banana.
Oh Hell.
So now I’m thinking about something to possibly replace
my slurpee and I found glazed doughnuts in the case and
they were 2 for a buck so I went for it.
I guess this will have to do.
So. now I get into line and there are like 6 people ahead of me
and If I had my slurpee I would’nt have minded the wait but.
I was getting aggravated because I wound up with glazed doughnuts
instead.Bummer!
So. finally it’s my turn up at the counter.
The guy in front of me was buying Modelo and Diet Coke.
And the guy in front of him was trying to get a Powerball Ticket but
the cashier seemed to not understand the workings of this machine.
Oh Lord.
Okay. Now it’s my turn and my total was like $ 3.05 and I gave the cashier
a $ 5.00 bill and she gaves me only 0.95 cents back.
Oh Hell No. first no slurpee and then I’m not getting a dollar back
this was so not happening.
Okay. so this store is in Uptown and it’s right across from Truman
College and next to Harold’s Chicken.
And. this store is 4 blocks from my place so it’s in my neighborhood.
But​.it is kindda ghetto.
And.not the best selection of stuff to choose from.
So. if you are looking for Modelo, this store may work for you.
But. if you’re looking for a banana slurpee go elsewhere.
Tomorrow is another day.
And. I will be on the hunt for my banana slurpee.
Till next time 7−11…

Best 7 11 food selection in Chicago! The staff deals with the Truman dinner rush well!
Be warned the lines get long about 5:45 and 7:45 you have to be patient.
Also the staff and regulars expect you to know what to do to order the food…
Step one: you look at the food available…
Step 2: pay for what you want
Step three: get out of the way!!! and then wait for them to give it to you.
People have to get to class and will move you if you don’t move yourself.
Tips: Do not order what is not in the case. You will wait for a while. This store is really busy.

«Oh, hey, Eric is reviewing a 7 – 11, what a jack-​ass…»
Jack-​ass though I may be, 7 – 11 fan I am.
You get treated well at this 7 – 11. Not Happy Ending well, but «Thank you sir.» «I’m sorry about that, sir.» «We spit in that coffee pot, try another, sir.» well.
They have two things conducive for studying at Truman College, anonymity and fountain soda.
The former being that they are probably so used to being robbed that I can get away with wearing a ski mask inside, and the latter being a prereq for any class I take.
Ok, I’ve tried one of the 7 – 11 sandwiches. Yes, it tasted like regret. I should’ve known better. But, you know what? It supplied me with much needed chemistry exam fuel.
They have added a lot of hot foods recently, from the standard hot dogs to chicken wings and even pizza! I’ll never try any of these, but there is some satisfaction knowing that the Truman College populace will be able to satisfy their buffalo chicken taquito craving.
Oh, there is a current promotion that all coffee after noon (12p.m. or 1200 hours) is only .99 cents, regardless of cup size. This just equates to me walking all skittish to class and looking like I’m suffering from crack withdrawal.
Maybe I am.
Cheeers!

I was going to be late for my exam at Truman across the street from this 7 – 11 and I needed change to pay for the parking meters real quick and the lady inside would not give me change. I bought stuff there bi-​weekly and she must have recognized me but still refused to help me out unless I bought something right then and there. I told her how discussed I was at her and how I’d never shop there again. The Asian dry cleaner next door gave me the change without any hassle. BE HUMAN!!!
