Ah, my neighborhood 7-eleven. I am amiss to give you only 4 stars, but please hear me out.
Like
- I love their points/rewards program. For someone who spends way too much money buying snacks from all of the convenience stores, it's nice to have an opportunity to get some freebies every once in a while. It's not hard to earn points, especially if you see the signs that indicate what is worth extra points at that time.
- It sounds like they also utilize Plenti to get fuel points, but I'm not positive how that works just yet. Pro just for having it, though.
- They have a pretty solid selection of snacks, ciggs, and some alcoholic beverages. (If you're looking for craft/local beer, try Heights Beer/Wine/Taco just catty corner from here.)
Dislike
- There is one gentleman who I occasionally see in the morning there who either a) has an extreme dislike for me, personally, or b) has a chip on his shoulder in general. Anytime I go to show him my 7-eleven points app on my phone, he gets all sorts of crotchety and says it doesn't work... Sir, these points do not personally affect you. Why the vendetta against the app/me? It's really not that serious.
- Their gas prices tend to run a little higher than the surrounding stations. However, if I can figure out Plenti, it may make a difference. Will update the review if so. read more
