doesn’t matter
i looked well dressed abd explained i am a person on strike from verizon

This location is the worst. Terrible service and limited stock — avoid at all costs

They systematically over charge !!! Don’t shop here !!! They know they are scamming.
I bought a cheeseburger marked $ 1.99. They scanned it at $ 2.99. They refused to refund the difference. The next day the Manager said there was no report so he couldn’t refund the money but said he would fix it.
That evening, I bought the same burger… scanned for $ 2.99 again. I said its marked $ 1.99, and he said you have to pay what it scans at.
Same thing with their advertised banner ads. Burritos. They’ll charge you more than the advertisement. If you say something, they’ll say the ad is old and you have to pay.
And the sodas. And the 3 for 3 hot dogs. Etcetera.
Don’t be their fool…

7-​Eleven?
more like Tic-​Tac heaven.
a huge huge variety of the lil mints.
now just a few types of those candy flints
exclusively buy all my orange Tic-​Tacs here
use a credit card to charge one pack, my dear.
basically i used to buy all my Tic-​Tacs. now i don’t because they only sell one of my favorite flavors. this 7 – 11 is typically on one of my run paths through the east village to the upper east side/​or/​westside and back. without the reward of all my tic-​tac choices being sold here i am knocking off a star. seems arbitrary but it aint.
it’s a clean 7 – 11. brightly lit. with all the trappings: hotdog/​taquito carousel, hot boxes of pizzas and other dried out eats, slurpees, aisles of candy, prepared food, beer, and soda, and energy drinks. not much differentiates this 7 – 11 from the rest.
it’s frequented by working people in the a.m. looking for coffee and breakfast eats. at nights it’s frequented by entitled drunk people who abuse the employees here for beers, cigs, and doritos. midday it’s a ghost town.
the staff are cool. they once let me use an outlet to charge my iphone.
they likely won’t let you do the same.
drops mic bc i stay cool with the click-​clack of my tic tacs…
i out.

Normally I would give them 5 stars I love 711 walk in there today the music was so loud wouldn’t of minded so much but that was all staticky rap music

Rewind 68 years.
⁷⁄₁₁ is known simply as Tot’em. Not just because customers «toted» away their purchases! In an act that can only be caused by god, and understood on hallucinogens… one of the employees placed a totem pole he had procured in Alaska in front of the store. It got such AMAZING attention that they decided to put it in front of EVERY store. And so goes the story of how the genius idea of homogenization of design creates «brand recognition.»
A year after WWII ends Tot’em takes it’s original name and story and changes itself to 7 – 11. To reflect it’s hours of operation. [just changed the name of my penis to 24/​7].
If it weren’t for this brilliant name change, there wouldn’t be a single tree left on planet earth. That’s what I call, corporate responsibility.
Get back in the TARDIS let’s set the dial for present day!
7 – 11 is the world’s largest operator, franchiser and licensor of convenience stores in the world with over 50,000 locations. And although The Lord does work in mysterious ways, assholes do not, and some asshole just shit on all of us in Alphabet City by allowing this sad empty chain grocery store into our unique way of life.
I’ve never walked into a 7 – 11 without having the fear of being raped, tickling the back of my neck like a snaggled fingernail scratches an itchy scab. The clientele these holes in human creativity attract make me believe that there are underground lawless cities filled with a population of human slave laborers that are pumping out carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to destroy us and take over the surface to live in a paradise of incest taboo.
I use to come home every night, happy. I don’t mind seeing dog shit on the street, now all I see is obnoxiously sized cups with a decal that reads «Big Gulp» or «Slurpee». I left home at an early age because those were my mother’s stage names. I spent my whole life running away from my past, now it kicks me in the nuts twice at every corner.
Have you ever eaten the food? The pizza that they reheat for three days? The cheese actually melds (not melts) m-​e-​l-​D-​s into the sauce and dough, making it one cohesive entity. Yum. If there is multiple consistencies to food, it makes me confused and scared. Or the dick shaped cheeseburger that doesn’t need a bun you just eat it out of sweaty wax paper. Don’t forget about those paper mâché donuts, those are a real treat after the $ 1-​$ 2 entrées.
Seeing this type of establishment and a few of the others that have gone up on avenue A is extremely disheartening. I hope everyone agrees with me. Things change, we’ve all known that for a long time now, but this shit right here is some bullshit. Dueces.

«Your general appearance is distasteful.»
Well the unarmed, fervent militia of ‘hood oldies did their best to resist «the man» and multi-​national corporate invasion. After many months of Saturday picketing, leaflet dropping to bemoan the environmental effects (which in and of itself is ironic), complaints to 311, the cast of Portlandia tried but failed to prevent 7 – 11’s opening here.
There was so much resistance, there is even a blog dedicated to it:
I’m a pragmatist however. If you check the prices here they aren’t representative of a predatory corporation, undercutting the competition to drive the bodegas out of business. There are at least 5 other places that are within 1 – 2 blocks of here. Why do people come here? Selection and let’s be honest… cleanliness. The other bodegas look like they need a good brooming, a wipe down of the reach-​in fridge and friendlier staff. Maybe even put in a Slurpee machine.
Yes, it’s garish and I’d never shop there, but 7 – 11 is filling a gap. Sorry.
What’s not to like
* Prices
* Chain feel
* Food snacks that are generally bad for you.
* Staff act as automatons

I tried 3 times, won’t go back. The ratchet skinny girl with the nose ring needs to go! This happened months ago, but they need some serious customer service training. The girl basically ignored me, avoided eye contact, and ate a doughnut in my face. The longest 2 minutes of my life past by as I awkwardly stood there wondering if I actually need to say something when I’m standing in front of her. A lady walks up behind me and the girl asks her, not me, if she needed help. The lady gave her the strangest look and said, «you know he’s been standing there, he’s next.» I thanked the lady and the girl apologizes to the lady instead of me! I was like wtf? She still made no eye contact OR acknowledged me. Se continued to talk to this lady as she rang me up when the lady clearly did not want to talk to her! So, I’m writing a review on Unilocal!!”

An empty garbage bin with fluorescent lights, ugly green awning, hostile employees, and product refuse littering the street. Please go back to Texas!
