I’ve been to many 7-elevens and have learned to not expect it to be the clean, organized or even friendly but this 7-eleven is different. I have yet to find a staff member there that isn’t friendly(i haven’t found out how the night time staff is as I’ve only been there in the mornings.) The store is always clean and pretty organized. The coffee spot which is usually the spot where 7-eleven drops the ball with cleanliness and organization, this spot excels in. Fresh coffee all the time and always fully stocked up on all their sugars and creamers.

Seriously this place deserves zero stars!!! It’s 6:30 and they are not open, they open at 7! Really because I’ve been here at 6am before. This place has been closed at 10pm. They just don’t car, they have no real schedule! It’s sad fa real. The service is already crap.

This is definitely a sketchy location. It’s in the heart of downtown LA and close to skid row so expect homeless people hanging out outside. Rather small inside, it has everything you’d find in any other 7⁄11. If you’re in downtown and want to ran something quick, this is a good spot. Nothing too special. No Parking available either so street parking is your best option.

Terrible, terrible line. It took me forever to get one drink. There was only one cashier working and the other person was in the back of the store monitoring shoplifters. Really annoying. If this is a concern, they need to put more mirrors or higher security, not use one of the cashiers and make the rest of us wait in line. Ridiculous.

This place always seems dirty. There’s so many homeless people that hang inside and outside of the store soliciting or asking you for money. The service is shoddy and they let anyone cut in line. The employees are not friendly and the place needs a sprucing.

Got there drama inside the 7– eleven the pasted 2 times I was there. Literally thought a fight was going to break out. homeless people near the front entrance asking for money and food and sometimes most of the homeless are aggressive Downtown LA so I’d rather go to another 7-Eleven on olive and Figueroa

Pretty bad service, they really need someone to clean house and bring in people who know how to work with customers. I will usually avoid the place at all cost by going to the right aid or wallgreens across the street. But sometimes this 7 – 11 is the only option.

DONOTGOHERE! The staff is RUDE and INCONSIDERATE! They are always on their cell phones & don’t pay any attention to their customers. They won’t even tell you how much your total is they will just yell«hurry up!» will start going to the right aid across the street smh!

I can walk here, the drinks are always cold(I work in Beverly Hills, and the coolers are never working at the 7 – 11 there), and the cashier is usually rotating between 3 registers in order to get everyone in and out as quickly as possible. Do you occasionally run into some weirdos outside? Sure, but hey, welcome to Los Angeles.

There is something uniquely cracky about this 7 – 11. Even over and above the crackiest of 7−11s with the ghetto characters straight out of central casting.

I have never experienced such poor customer service… ever. I came in for a Slurpee refill with my own Slurpee cup in hand. After finding that all of the«ready» flavors were actually unusable, I settled for Coke Slurpee and checked out. When I mentioned that the Slurpee was a refill, the cashier who appeared to be the manager told me that it wasn’t. He said«Next!» and started to help the customer after me. When I insisted that it was in fact actually a refill, he told me that he saw me walk in with it but I needed to get it marked with a Sharpie from him in order for it to count and that it was too bad… I’ll give a convenience store a little extra room in the customer service department but this level of service is unacceptable.

This really has to be one of the worst 7-Elevens ever. Very limited selection. Over-priced. I would much rather walk half a block down to Famima.

I know, it’s 7-Eleven, but this is the worst location ever. Tried to stop in quickly one morning before work for coffee & a doughnut — what a nightmare. Probably just because of the location, there was a line stretching through the store. I should’ve just left right then. But I figured, since I was there… Well, all of the coffee mixes were out, with no one to tell since the two people in the place were both manning cashiers. The doughnut display was completely full, though. That’s because there weren’t any tongs, or a single bag or tissue or so much as a napkin around to take anything out with. The line at least seemed to be moving, so I got into it, and when I got to the register asked the guy to just ring me up for a chocolate bar and give me a napkin. He grudgingly gives me a napkin(so that I can purchase their freaking goods!!!) but says he can’t ring it up because he doesn’t know what it is. Er, yeah. I finally got the hint and just left. Ten minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

Words cannot explain my experience at this location. In line ready to pay with one lady in front of me, two cashiers assisting customers… What could possibly go wrong? Little did I know that these people have some sort of love triangle causing all sort of arguments in the store. The one lady in front of me refused to be serviced by the female cashier who in return started insulting the customer. I was then offered by the one lady to go in front I agreed to speed up the line, and at that point THECASHIER refused to help me. It literally took like 10 minutes to get out of the store just to buy a few water bottles. I will be filing a corporate complaint since all this mayhem was cause by two employees and what turned out to be a wife of one of the cashiers. By the time I left there was about 10 people behind me since it was after the farmers market(which on a much better note I did enjoy)

There’s a Rite Aid across the street — you should just go there. This 7 – 11 Looks like it’s been cleaned out in pre-doomsday hysteria. You really can’t get anything you’d expect to find in a standard 7 – 11. No beer, no medicine(that I could find), etc. etc. The cashier has always been friendly to me(I’ve been three times… it’s been the same woman every time), but maybe that’s because I smile at her and say hi– undoubtably a rare occurence with the regular customers. I once saw a scuffle right outside the store. I was outside the Rite Aid waiting fir a friend when a fight broke out between a woman and a cashier. They appeared to be tugging back and forth at something. He eventually won, and shoved her into the store to contain her. Sirens erupted seconds later and the police were on scene within minutes. So at least there’s good security. There’s really no reason for me to ever go back and I’m not planning on inventing a reason anytime soon. My advice to you is do the same.

This is hands down the worst 7 – 11 I’ve ever been to. I live above this 7 – 11 however, so unfortunately I find myself having to run there for cigarettes or a snack from time to time. The basics of why this sucks: 1. You cannot go to this 7 – 11 without smelling urine on your way 2. You cannot go to this 7 – 11 without being asked for money or a cigarette by at least 3 people 3. They overcharge compared to other 7 – 11’s. When you bring this to their attention, they look at you like you’re speaking a foreign language and blink awkwardly. These are just the basics, but I would rather gnaw off my own leg than go to this 7 – 11 for anything. For anyone downtown, I’d recommend going to Famima on 6th. It’s clean, it has more options for your«convenience», there is no urine stench, and they don’t overcharge. One thing you can’t really escape downtown is the overzealous requests for money and cigarettes, but even that is greatly reduced by simply walking the two blocks to the Famima.

Oh wow! This is the ickiest 7Eleven ever! Right up the street from Skid Row. The line is always long, and there is always a crazy person in line right behind me. On my recent excursion this morning for coffee, I had a woman claiming I had gotten into a heated argument with her a few weeks ago. Funny, I had never met the lady before in my life. She continued to harrass other patrons waiting in line. I once met the owner of this 7Eleven in passing. He mentioned that he experienced a lot of theft at this location. So much so that you cant bring in large bags and you have to pay for the Hot Dogs before you receive them to load them up with condiments. We all know I love 7Eleven Hot Dogs, but this is one 7Eleven I wouldnt buy one from, even if I was fiening. Always out of coffee, filled will with very shady looking people and the staff is kinda jaded from all the shit they have to put up with on the daily. If you pass up going to this location, you are probably better off.

Is there an award for the WORST7-Eleven? There should be! This location would undoubtedly be high in the running for it. The terrible selection is just the beginning. No BBQ sauce? No frozen pizza? No beer??? What kind of crappy 7-Eleven is this? As it turns out, it’s the kind that sells MOLDY frozen chicken nuggets… Yeah. I didn’t even know that was possible, but it is. When we ripped open the sealed package, marked to expire in 2011, there were large spots of GREENMOLD all over the place. I guess it’s a good thing that we weren’t able to buy a lot of food, because I completely lost my appetite. Avoid at all costs!
