7-eleven

This morning I walked in grabbed a few items 2 Quake Energy drinks and a bag of gummy bears. The Quake energy has a sale of 2 For $3.50 good until 5/19/2020. The lady a register 1st tried skipping the part where you put your number in. Then when she rung me out never even applied the sale. Claiming “ sir we are not making any money, I gave you a discount “. The discount she’s claiming was giving me the gummy bears for free. The sale read 2 For $3.50 is not consider a discount when I paid $6 for a sale item that was already set at 2 For $3.50. They’re famous for skipping your point so you always pay the full amount and never apply your points to see if anything is free via the 7/11 app. It’s consistently this particular store does this. I’m done with this store I’ll drive a minute or 2 up the road for better service instead of crossing the street. This has become an on going thing with this location. Not going back I’ll find another.

Have been shopping here weekly since June 2017. I built out my business across the street. The employees have been nothing but cheerful, fun, helpful, and honest. Mohammed the owner is very friendly and has even come in to support my business as well. They know exactly what my preferences are - “No plastic bag, and I’ll take the receipt.”

I’ve been coming to this location since 1982. Tonight, after my tour, I came in to fill up my water bottle. I always purchase a snack, but I just wanted to fill up my water bottle with some plain seltzer out of their fountain tap. In the past 37 years I’ve probably spent several thousand dollars at this location. Tonight I was told I had to pay $1.32 to refill a plastic 22oz bottle with plain seltzer. I’m done. No more money for this location, at least not from me. They just lost about $20 or $30 a month over two cents worth of water and bubbles. I used to buy beer, hotdogs, burritos, sandwiches and a host of other goods. No more. After 37 years, I’ll go to the one on the next block; a store that understands $10.98 for beer is worth a refill of a few bubbles.
