7-eleven

Sadly disappointed in the newest 7eleven. Had high hopes for this place, but I always feel like the employees have better things to do than their actual jobs. Tried repeatedly to get my car washed since this location opened, and the unit was finally up and working today. However…. For $9 the car was “rinsed” only and not washed. Seriously!? When I brought it to the attention of the female clerk, she tried to tell me that it’s just how they offer the service. Rip-off ! Tried to tell me if I paid more, the car would have been washed properly. The Shell on Dunne and the AMPM at the corner of Cochrane and Monterey have similar automated car washers, and both their machines include the scrubbing brushes on the cheapest wash. No, I won’t be coming back.

Their slurpees are great, but I had never tried their pizza. I wasn't planning on ever trying their pizza, but then I found myself drinking alone at 2am. Pizza was just the company I needed. I know pizza from 7/11 isn't the best for me, but it was the most convenient at the time. 7/11 is trying to be as convenient as possible by never closing, but a convenient store can become too convenient. At a certain point 7/11 is doing more harm than good by letting individuals order pizza after 2am. No sober person has ever ordered a pizza from 7/11 after 2am. It would be nice if 7/11 started doing what's best for everyone rather than what's most convenient. I should start doing the same for myself as well. It may be more convenient for me to drink by myself so I don't have to deal with my sober self, but it's not what's best for me. When I do what's convenient in the moment, I tend to do more convenient things in the next moment, like ordering pizza from 7/11 because it's the only place open on doordash. One convenient moment turns into another convenient moment and then I'm just living a life full of convenient moments. It sounds easy, but not meaningful. That being said, 7/11 pizza is actually not that bad, but hopefully I never get it again because that means I'd most likely be drunk by myself, taking the convenient way out.
