7-eleven

The sign says open 24 hours a day. The man working the store says I'm closed because I've got to unload a truck (830pm) This is 🗑. I don't fault the employee but the owner and management knows better but continues to falsely advertise 24hrs. Just look at all the other reviews and walk from your hotel to another store.

I was in the Convenience Store Industry for 33 years. I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. This store because of its location (mainly on the way to and from homeless shelters) is an operational nightmare for the owner and employees. People (using the term lightly) constantly trying to rip them off and take advantage of every possible thing they can. HOWEVER, some how they run a clean, nonthreatening, well stocked, and welcoming store. The employees should all be given medals for putting up with all the nonsense they have to endure on behalf of the "customers." They accomplish it all with great attitudes. I live one block from this location and have two 7-11's from which to choose. I choose the Champa 7-11 every time and call it the "Friendly 7-11" as opposed to the other, which I call the "Unfriendly 7-11." All my friends know to shop the "Friendly" (short) vs. the "Unfriendly." My hat is off to all who are involved in running this location. They run a fine store in spite of all the environmental factors against them.
