7-Eleven

Sometimes one of the ladies is on her phone the entire time I’m in the store, the very tall lady isn’t approachable, the younger women is really friendly though as well as the young man that works there.
I find this location convenient and I stop here almost every day.

Yes! It’s another 7-​Eleven. Strange, it actually looks like most of the rest of them. No gas though, be warned (and put down your phone while you’re driving).
Get me a slurpee next time you’re there, please. This spot is super convenient, think BEER, Golden Gardens, and riiiiiiight off the Burke Gilman Trail. You’re set.
Thanks for listening!

Wow, I walked in here today for a coffee and the lady never got off her phone. I have no clue what she said, but I felt like I was in a Sims game or something. LOL.
It took me a minute to find what I needed for the coffee because it’s my first time in there and I wasn’t used to the sugar being below the counter. Who does that? Oh this place does.
I would have asked Habeesh’s sister (he works at the AM/​PM in Magnolia and that’s a seperate review on my Unilocal. His sister was on her cell. Or was it the work phone? Who knows. A simple «hello» would have been nice.
Five minutes later feeling lost at the HOT DATE SIM PARTY (where I wasn’t invited to the hot tub party) Yes, I’m a mild gamer at times. So I found the hidden sugar and went up to pay and she was still speaking in Sim tongue. So I payed. Still speaking Sims and no acknowledging me.
She finally spoke my language when I thanked her. I am not sure why I thanked her. Maybe to hear her say «You’re welcome» or just to interrupt her conversation with her Sim partner I suppose. Damn if I don’t ruin a good hot dog party they experienced over the phone.
Check your phone bill there owner. Ya never know who’s running your store. If she is the owner… F to me I’m moving to Canada!!! That wasn’t French she was speaking. Nor Spanish. It was Sim speak. I know it. I play it. I own it.
I think I’ll go back tomorrow before I hit the gym and make her get off her phone and help me find a tampon or something.

As far as 7-​Elevens go, this one is tops. The slurpee machine is always tumblin’, you can use the ATM in the back for BECU transactions without a fee, Redbox out front. And this one is super clean, and the staff are always friendly (unlike some other locations I’ve been to). Icing in the cake? On free Slurpee day (that would be July 11^th for the uninformed), the nice lady working said we could take as many free Slurpees (in the 7.11oz cups) as we wanted. Heaven.

My problem with this place was the lady behind the counter simply didn’t give a sh*t. She would talk on the phone and ignore customers as they walked up. She was not very friendly and communicated with an odd string of grunts and other sounds in place of answering with words. This was a staff issue, not one with the store, but this does not have me wanting to go back.

This 7-​Eleven is located right next to my apartment complex. This place is great. Here’s why:
— The staff will give me my $ 10 dollars cashback in a roll of quarters so I can do laundry
— Ability to get snacks during SNOWSTORM ’08
— Piña colada slurpees literally a one minute walk from my apartment door
— Ability buy a soda/​candy bar/​Starbucks Doubleshot when I run out and am too lazy to go to the store
…and much, much more.
