7-Eleven

Holy roller! This place is the best. They have it all. Great products. Great service. Their attention to detail is incredible. I go to lots of convenience stores worldwide and this one wins the prize. It goes way beyond "what's on the rollers". I like brekkie cereal. They have it. I like AAA batteries. Yep, they have it. Shoelaces, ice cream novelties and the GUM! Don't even get me started. I would go out of my way to come here for a quick bite or sundries any time I'm in town. Keep up the good work. I love 'the Sev".

This is one of the fancy new 7-11's that has wine, and fancy champaign, and all that frou frou stuff. Also - a LOT of different beers. And fancy jerky. Mmmmm dried meats.

I like it because it is clean, close to my house and not populated by creepy ass people.

I wish they had cans of soda, but whatever. They also don't have plain vanilla Ben and Jerry's. Like I said, fancy. But sometimes going to Jewel is too much of a production number.

The best thing? I once got to witness a couple of Cops shoo away some teenagers who had set up shop to try to get someone to buy for them. HA! They could have tried to find somewhere less conspicuous than a busy corner on Milwaukee Avenue, I think. It was kind of hilarious.

Also - for those smokers out there - the Camel Rep makes appearances at this location on occasion, so keep your eyes out. I've gotten good deals sometimes.

Despite its occasional questionable clientele, this 7 Eleven is by far the best in the city.

They never run out of things. The staff all know what they're doing. They all say hi when you walk in the door. They all tell you to have a nice day.

They have a surprisingly great beer selection. If they would bring back the "Monster" breakfast sandwiches, it would be a perfect store for all of my needs.

They have Belly. Their contactless card reader works. Always. The store is clean, and the staff do what they can to keep it clean, even when it's rainy/snowy outside.

They REALLY need a 15-minute standing zone in front of this place, though. Who wants to do the whole pay-and-display thing to run in to grab a soda? Why should we have to?

Very rude..... I just asked a question and they looked at me like I am an alien.

I don't know why exactly, but this 711 has the best Slurpee flavors. Always.

This is the best 711 in the city...or at the very least, in the neighborhood. That one over on Damen? The one that use to be a White Hen? Garbage.

Clean. Great selection of foodstuffs. Nice staff.

Here's a tip:
Don't buy sushi at 4AM after you tried rollerskating home from the bar.
I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'...

I am in here about every day as it's just on the corner. The owner and other employees recognize me and make small talk.

I like how they utilize both registers, even if it's just one clerk to get people checked out real fast. I also like that I can stop in at 1:30am and pick up a sixer or a bottle o' booze should I feel so inclined.

The police like to hang out here very frequently so at least you know the area is safe for the most part, even if it's 3am and there are a bunch of creepy individuals crawling about.

The Clerk is a Total Jerk at this Place. I paid for a pack of gum and used a 20 and he attempted to give me back $3.89 cents. I stood there looking at him like ( WTF ).. He then said in a rude manner What's the problem. I Told him I just gave your ass a 20 and your trying to give me back 3.89 that's the problem. had he been paying attention to what he was doing and not some other rag head in the store he would have known what he did. he argued for a second until he look down on the counter to see the 20 was still where I had laid it.
Pay attention and learn to count Mr Slurpee vendor

I don't go to convenience stores much anymore. In Tempe, AZ, they're just not all that convenient -- after all, when you're in your car, you might as well stop at a real store. And if you're not in your car, well, you might as well not exist. But that's a story for another review.

Anyway. The 7-Eleven at Milwaukee and Wolcott is pretty darn great as convenience stores go. It's clean and bright and not filthy at all.

The decent beer selection helped me forget my mediocre dinner at Feast one evening, while the pre-chilled Champagne made it easy to turn my B&B-supplied OJ into a mimosa extravaganza.

Oh thank heaven. Really.

Not a bad 7-11... Its right up the street from me. Also, since I am not sure where else to buy a cold six'er on a hot day this pretty much has got what I need! Plus they are open all night...

Adding another star since the place has been cleaner recently, their craft beer selection is good (although a bit pricey), and the Slurpee machines seem to be filled more often
