    I have lived 3 blocks from this 7-11 my entire life and have grown to love it. From shoulder tapping sketchy looking dudes to help buy me adult beverages at a younger then optimal age, to midday confused munchies, to late night drunken crawls in need for hotdogs and WWF magazines...this particular 7-11 does it for me.
    Just got a sweet Randy Orton Big Gulp cup there...so sick.
    Any actual SF locals remember when Robert the homeless guy used to hang around there? He was so cool and nice. I remember  him helping us out when we were younger...and when I finally was able to, I bought him a 40. He was thrilled and said to us "For me?! Never before!"
    Where did you go, man? Hope all is well.

    I came into this 7-Eleven, and I went straight to the slurpee machine. Well, what can I fucking say? I LOVE slurpees with a passion! However, I was so disappointed when I came to this 7-Eleven for a slurpee. The slurpee barely had any taste, and it tasted kind of sour. What the fucking hell? I was so surprised, cause' NO slurpee would taste like that, I mean, seriously!
    +1 star for the service, the service wasn't too bad.

    This is a sketchy place at best. They used to filled up with crack dealers at night before the police threatened to shut the place down because it was attracting people on crack who couldn't sleep at night.

    The parking lot is shaped kind of funny on a slant so it's a little difficult to get in and out of, but not impossible.

    This 7-11 attracts the weird people from the outer Sunset though. The people are pretty laid back out here, but there are a few nuts and you see more of them at the 7-11. Once I was in there and a guy started up a conversation with me about how bread should never be eaten fresh as it will make your stomach swell up. Another time Jesus was complaining that he shouldn't have to pay for his food because he had died for their sins (Why didn't I ever think up that line). It's an entertaining place to visit, but beware of their overpriced booze behind the counter. I've paid less at a hotel in Vegas than what they charge here.

    I like the liquor store across the street because they're friendlier and also have a deli with piroshkis which I love.

    Since the zombie apocalypse, most worldly possessions people lusted after have ceased to hold any value. In a world filled with flesh-eating undead, the remaining survivors scrounge for basic survival essentials - ammo, liquor and 7-Eleven nachos.  You and a group of fellow survivors have banded together and fortified a house in Ocean Beach, near one of the last remaining 7-Elevens. Although nightly nacho runs from the house to the 7-Eleven are inherently dangerous, if you move quickly and quietly, you can generally get in, stock up your nachos with cheese, onions, salsa,  jalapeños and chili, and make it back to the safe house with little trouble, asides from the occasional stray zombie.

    This is not your standard nacho run though. The previous night, the back up generator that had been powering the Nacho Machine had died. "We ain't fixxun this unn," Scab, the young mechanic you had rescued from the clutches of a zombie at Gestalt in the Mission tells you. He had only been in the city for six days before the infection began spreading across the country, having driven from Montana in search of a new life. He's become like a little brother to you. You almost ask him if he's sure that it's broken for good, but you know if Scab says it's so, it's so. You all know what must be done.

    You gear up. "Just like every other nacho run", you try to tell yourself. But you know that it's not. Because this time, you are taking the entire goddamn Nacho Machine.

    You, Scab, and ButterCup, an Italian strong-man you had met while working together on the night shift at the docks, creep from the safe house, making your way towards 7-Eleven. You enter, and exit with the Nacho Machine in tow - delicately balanced on the seat of a child's tricycle - without a hitch. You are running point, glancing down the sight of your M4 carbine, a vicious zombie shedding assault rifle which you had picked up at a trading post in Daly City, in exchange for five bottles of whiskey and three fully loaded to-go nacho boxes.

    One block to go. No signs of the infected. You lower your weapon and breath out a slight sigh of relief. Your breath floats gently up the frigid night air. You watch it escape from this world, swimming up high towards an almost full moon, and you feel...somewhat...human. You bite down on your lip, trying to push back memories of your family, your old life, before Hell itself blanketed the world...

    Your walking talkie suddenly lights up. "SCHHSCH!! Where are you?" You turn the volume down, cursing. "A block away!" you hiss back as silently as you can.

    "We just heard a car alarm go off. Get your fucking ass back here!" Your fellow survivors, tucked away in the safe house, are worried, as they should be. As you all know, loud noises attract the horde, massive groups of zombies bent on devouring any flesh they can bite at. You, Scab and ButterCup pick up the pace.

    And, like a bad dream you want to wake up from, a surreal moment that fuzzes the line of real and dreamt up, you watch, as hordes of once-people, living monsters, emerge from depths of Golden Gate park, headed towards you.

    "MOVE!" you scream. Out in the open you would never survive. You must make it back to the safe house. "COMMON!" you roar.

    You have the head start and are closer to the door. A horde of zombies bleeds through the trees in the park, pouring into the street. You glance back and see Scab and ButterCup still pushing the Nacho Machine. "Leave it!" you scream, firing your first rounds into the horde as they have directed their attention to your group. "Fucking leave it!," you shout out as you unload rounds of ammunition; undead bodies dropping to the ground. You fire more shots wildly into the group. The Nacho Machine crashes, falling off the tricycle. You look back. Scab and ButterCup are scrambling to get the Nacho Machine back on the tricycle. It keeps tipping over. ButterCup quickly abandons hope, and sprints off towards the beach. The next time you will see him will be roughly three years from now, and you will put a bullet through his zombied face.

    Scab is still scrambling with the Nacho Machine. You can feel yourself yelling, screaming at him, though you don't hear it. Or maybe you do, but your mind refuses to jot it down as a memory. You'll never be sure. "We need the nachos!" he yells. "It's the only thing worth living for!"

    You watch, as Scab is tackled and pinned to the ground. They start to eat him. You gaze at the horrific scene, for what feels like a lifetime, arms too heavy to move. It's his final scream that snaps you back into place. "NaaaacCCHhhhhoooosss!" You raise your rifle, aim, and before he turns into one of those foul ghouls, a 5.56x45mm round slides peacefully through his skull. His body lies limp next to the Nacho Machine, blood and nacho cheese splattered on the ground.

    Your friends are gone. As is all hope of eating 7-Eleven nachos. You run to the safe house, contemplating which 7-Eleven you will set out toward next.

    There's a short, skinny, young filipino guy that works there that's just plain angry at the world. Everyone else there is cool, but this guy hates anybody who walks in the door. I've seen him at the other 7-11 on Taraval working sometimes as well.

    Last time I was in there, there was a line of people and he farted behind the counter ( no, I'm NOT kidding )...everyone in line was disgusted, it was obvious where it was coming from. It was done on purpose. After 30yrs of living in the community, I'm never going to either 7-11 again. Safeway at the beach is open 24hrs, I've been going there the last year instead, and I'm much happier & the food is healthier than the day old nacho's and hot dogs this guy serves up. I wouldn't be surprised if he farts on the food too. Yes, he hates life that much.

    He's a disgusting, rude, hateful employee.

    Its moderately close to home. I come here when I want a slurpee & we all know how awesome slurpees are. I like their hotdogs too. :) I'm a little skeptical about the chili and cheese machine... So I'm going to stop using it.

    The biggest reason that this place gets a 5 star review? A homeless man named Because. He was hilarious and kept my friends and I entertained while we waited for the bus. He even gave us pennies because he only carries silver! :)

    My usual let-down, pissed-off, lonely-kind-of-weather day:

    Changing orders of Ben & Jerry's
    Hot Cheetos (puffs bitches), free "cheez" from the condiment bar to dip
    Cheeseburger dogs with free "chili", free "cheez", jalapenos, etc...
    Spicy dogs with the same shit C.B.D. had...
    a Klondike bar
    Cosmo, Vogue, or GQ...sometimes Martha
    Twix - caramel
    Cheez-its
    Sunchips, but only the 99 cent bag
    and Arizona Iced Tea (99 cent can) with honey....

    emo and all this = all good

    Oh, and the occasional questions from the cashier about computers, and my home country

    I like the fact that they have produce there. I personally wouldn't buy it from there (I always go to produce stands) but quite a few people don't.
    The one bad thing about this 7-11 is that I'm not a huge fan of their soda machine. I personally like a shot of cherry flavor in my Dr. Pepper, which they do not have. I guess I was just spoiled by my last local 7-11.

    Sometimes my friends and I feel like junkies, because we somehow end up at this 7-11 at least once a day i...or at random times of the night.
    You have to get used to the homeless people, and the dunks, and the crazy gay guy thats lives across the street at the bus-stop. Surprisingly its right across the street from Thang Longs. but they have everything, and if the workers know you, they will hook it up

    6/22/2009 7 Check-ins Here

    As a teen, I liked going to 7-11.

    SLURPEES WERE CHEAP!!!! They were cheaper than the ones at Target, and many other places. I always chose the 3rd smallest or 3rd largest size. I liked the clear container, I could see what flavors I was drinking and it looked appetizing. I didn't like getting the small ones, because for that extra 20 cents, I could get a much larger one. They were so big and hard to finish.

    I never bought anything from here, except stuff for bonfire materials and food.

    Maybe 7 years ago, I remember ALWAYS getting iced blended coffees. They were just like Starbucks fraps but half the price and they tasted SOOOO SOOOO GOOD!!!! I guess I was the only one that liked them, since they no longer sell it.

    Today my sis had a slurpee for $1.49 for the 2nd smallest. Prices have sure gone up. They use to be like...$1.09 or $.99 because the smallest were $.89 before, now it's gone up to $1.09.

    I was hooked when I saw the iced coffee sign outside. I had an iced coffee, a mixture of french vanilla and mocha flavor. Outside it says medium is 99 cents, so I reached for the middle and started to fill it up.  Then I realized I didn't get a medium, I GOT A LARGE, it was $1.49 and not $.99 I felt jipped. They don't have small, medium and large, but they have medium, large, and extra large. I'm not sure what is in the coffee, but I had a stomach ache after, but I'm lactose so...probably my fault.

    Is 7-11 CONVENIENT? Yeah, but I live closer to a corner store that I don't go to anymore, because I soon realized Safeway was just a bit further and way cheaper with more variety.

    Oh yeah, this place is GHETTO. Hobos & gangstas come here to loiter.

    It is what it is.  But why is it where it is?  Seems like with all the liquor and grocery stores and coffee shops in the 'hood, there's no reason to have this place too.  Especially when there's a cool little liquor store that has just about everything, including neighborhood feel, right across the street.

    But I guess one thing this place has that the others don't is a nacho station.  It's the worst thing for you, but I swear sometimes it's the only thing.

    Today is the free 7.11 oz Squishee day.
    I went there with my daughter. We were given two cups by the nice Asian lady. She was even asking me if I wanted more than two cups.
    When we left, she also told us that it is ok if we wanted to come back later today.
    We went back once more to get another two.

    I really did not see any sign of mute employees like other yelper mentioned.

    Well it's a 7-Eleven, not much can be expected other than that fact.

    The problem is that they've crammed so much stuff into this one that two people can't be one spot at an aisle at the same time, particularly in the back with the drink coolers.

    They also sell some produce which is nice, but it looks gross most of the time.

    CIty style Sevy but with a hint of Suburbia. Prime tallboy drinking spot while waiting for your pizza, your laundry to finish or the statute of limitations to expire.

    They carry the small bags of Kettle Chips and sell hard liquor (altho, I'd highly recommend supporting the liquor store across the street when they are open).

    The late night congregants of the 7-Eleven on sunset make me wonder if they didn't in fact just get lost on the wrong muni and have collected in hopes of robbing directions home from somebody as they exit with a slurpee. Which of course makes the challenge of getting in and out without being robbed that much harder.

    The other day I came here because the last time I strolled through without buying anything and noticed that the hostess cupcakes were buy one get one free. Being a big fan of the orange cupcakes I decided to hold 7-Eleven to this cheaply written policy they had enacted but when I was ready to pay, the clerk told me that the rule only applied to the generic chocolate cupcakes.

    "Those aren't cupcakes." She said pointing at my orange cupcakes.
    "They say cupcakes right here..." I replied pointing at the word cupcakes written on the package. The guy behind me nodded. This of course went on for sometime culminating with her leaving the behind the counter area to make sweeping arm gesticulations at the cupcakes. I still hold that I am right - as I know what the hell a cupcake is. Which is why I plan to try this again, and again, even if I have to encourage the dudes outside to rob the place blind in order to achieve my two-for-one cupcakes goal.

    I give them one star for having polly-anne's green tea ice cream. I doubt they've really earned it.

    why do you lie to me middle-aged lady night clerk? When i asked you if the chili sauce for nachos had meat in it, you vehemently shook your head no and muttered something that sounded like soy. I ate the chili sauce. Two weeks later i found out that it is chock-full of processed animals parts. I PAID 2 DOLLARS FOR YOUR LIES AND WAS SICK FOR TWO DAYS AFTER! what have i ever done to you?? Also: you are always out of the incredibly nutritious cream-cheese jalapeno popper things you are always touting. for this, i hate you.  You should have never gotten rid of your Tekken 2 arcade game! that would have at least gotten you an extra star.

    You don't come to 7-11 for the ambiance, I come here for their nachos, because late at night is there anything better?  I know many will disagree, but this craving has stood the test of time in my life...  A huge thing of nachos, and a good conversation with the 7-11 clerk is all I need some nights after staying out too late:)

    i do not expect much from this chain but the fact that it is open 24 hours makes it very convenient. in any case, i went there to satisfy my sweet tooth . i was standing in front of the employee by the register waiting to get rung up. that person is wearing blinds or actually blind and also deaf, they would just keep on talking with the other employee that is all the way across the store ina language that i do not understand. like i said i do not expect much from this chain store other than they are convenient.
