7-Eleven

After park drinks, perfect coolness on a hot day in the city. This store goes back pretty deep. I've not yet made it beyond the slurpee machine. The flavors here are good. They also have some food. Some of it looks good, the rest, ehhh. One day I'll have the boy try something. Kids will eat almost anything. The cashiers are kind, for the most part.

Come in, cool down, they're waiting.

Clean store, friendly staff and good deals / promos often. They have an ATM and Lotto.

In addition to all the great 7-11 stuff, they have Amazon lockers, and you can Get an OMNY card here! Gotta have it for when metrocards are ended.

7 Eleven is a childhood favorite of mine. This is the biggest 7 Eleven I've seen in Manhattan on the Upper East Side. The store front is deceiving. It's long and goes way back where there's a couple steps down to where you find alcoholic beverages. The space is narrow so one person at a time near the soda machine. Lady had a stroller too so I decided against getting a drink.

I took photos of the standard items. You can't beat the prices on the prepared foods. There's a steady stream of customers coming in. The place was clean to me. The way the shelves are set up I don't see how the cashier can see if people are using five finger discount. I bet they lose a lot of money because of that.

While I was there the employee brought out a fresh tray of White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies for the pastry case. For 99 Cents I couldn't resist. This is going to be my go to for cheap eats when I'm in the neighborhood. It's clean with friendly service and well stocked with the merchandise prices prominently displayed.

These guys suck, beyond a reasonable doubt.
Never good coffee, rude people behind the counter and if they weren't close to me I'd never go there. I think I've been insulted enough at this point and I'm going to First Avenue instead.
Screw these guys.

7 eleven is easy you can find everything fast because the time is valuable if you ask politely they will help you 100 times I love 7/11 because It's open 24 hours it's very easy you can make your coffee yourself I love 7/11 upper east side 7/11 the staff is so kind and helpful

I like the 7-Eleven it's open 24 hours the place is always neat and clean. Mostly a come here for my midnight snacks fix.
The taquitos here are fantastic they mostly have deals on them.
The only reason I give them three star is because most of the time these to Taquitos are dry and I have to tell them to make it soft.

EPIC FAIL PART TWO!!!

Ok, so I knew this 7-11 was a few avenues away from the one I was just at that had no Slupees on free Slurpee day. I walk up, sweaty and craving my Slurpee, and see a sign on the door - "No More Slurpees"!

WTF!!!! It was only 9PM. This was supposed to go on until midnight.

Again, the two guys behind the counter were no help at all and were kind of grumpy. "No Slurpees!" was all they would say. "Machine not working". Again, I saw a bunch of people waiting around holding that mini cup they were giving out for this staring at the machine begging for it to start pumping out Slurpees.

Get your act together 7-11. It's not rocket science here. I gave up and went to a bar for a cold beer.

Oh thank heaven...

7-11 is the bomb. They have all the assorted stuff you need on short notice and not matter where you find yourself roaming, there is usually one nearby.

I was pleasantly surprised by this one as it was laid out nicely with nice bright lights and a large selection of stuff available. Beers, soda, snacks, coffee and candy are the basic staples but they have a little more in the way of cold and headache stuff and all that.

A quick checkout area let's you get going in a snap and even the help was friendly.

Parking on the street...

They charge $35 for two balloons. Sometimes they will fill them for you, sometimes they will not. It depends who is working. Rude and unacceptable.
