Low cost as well compared to some other 7/11s.

The only thing that changes are the team members, entering and existing off the main road. This shop in Berkley, CA was perfect. Friendly staff and clean location. When I came in they immediately greeted me and asked me if I was looking for anything specific. It's always about their exclusive blend coffee in these stores. There were many varieties but I always find myself gravitating to the same one. I really enjoy their "exclusive blend." We stopped by on our way home for a little dessert after our Italian meal a block away. 7-Eleven is the perfect spot. Very carefully planned locations and stocked merchandise.

The markup is insane. Berkeley is really trying to gouge students. The staff working here are pretty chill about their job. Not very helpful, not very fast checking out, but they get you in an out in decent time.

My RXs are available without undue delay, and efficiently dispensed. While they did install this year touchtone screens for customer to tap & confirm order details, sometimes customer entry waived when busy and technician enters data to retrieve RXs. I notice sometimes the process changes slightly, with more safeguards added, like showing the customer the packages so they can confirm the RX. The only thing I found a blip was getting the pharmacy hours down. They do differ between weekdays & weekend (10 AM on Sat, 11 AM on Sun), so be sure to check. Yelp notes the store's opening and closing times which differ from pharmacy hours. Would be helpful to post the pharmacy hours, maybe note them in the questions to business. The line on weekend moves pretty quickly so don't be too disheartened when you see people in line.

Especially if there is someone behind you that parked with their rear sticking too far out. We also noticed that despite the large lot size, the parking lot was nearly at capacity even though there did not appear to be very many customers inside the store. This leads us to believe that some people are using their lot while shopping/running errands nearby. We didn't check out much of the store since we were only here for some photo orders. But the cashier was pretty friendly, and we were able to get our orders and leave in fairly good time.

At Seven Palms, I can stop by on my way home from school and work. Nonetheless, after eating my heart out at La Val and stuffing my mouth with mouth-watering pizza, I typically head to Seven Palms for dessert. They have an amazing chocolate selection. They have Ritter Sport! They offer several varieties of Ritter Sport, including milk chocolate (30%) and dark chocolate (50%). Their Ritter Sport costs $2.94. They offer Hershey's and Reeses and the like for $1.25 for the regular-sized versions, and the king-sized selections are $1.85. On a side note, don't buy any of the ice cream sandwiches here because they taste very bad. They taste like they've been sitting beneath the child seat in my Ford Focus for a few months. The prices here are a little on the high side, but that is what happens when you go to school in a well-to-do area. Seven Palms pays a premium rent for its premium location next to La Val. Anyone who opens up shop next to La Val pays a premium because everyone wants to be next to La Val. That way, after you eat La Val, you can stop for more food. My roommate tried taking 20 cents out of the "take a penny, leave a penny" jar at the cashier's desk at Seven Palms, but the cashier got pretty upset at him, so don't do that. Similarly to my boy Drizzy Drake, Seven Palms prefers straight up cash money (dolla dolla billz) over credit cards, so be sure to tip them on your way out. At the front of the store, they offer smaller chocolates (Ghirardelli anyone?) for 50 cents a pop. One more thing: this store has everything!! From peanuts to Honey Dijon kettle chips to sparkling water to eggs to Hennessy to bananas to lottery ticketz to aluminum foil, the Seven Palms "Seven Penintential Psalms" store has you covered for life. They are open late and open early. They offer a bucket for your wet umbrellas. Their muffins taste OK. The same two men run the store. They are quite friendly and helpful! I give them big tip. I wish that Seven Palms sold hoisin sauce so I can put some of dat jaunt into my homemade phò.

Wonderful selection of cereals.

Club Mallard is easy to pass by - but for me I recognize it as a landmark of sorts. Right next door you can find a gas station with fair prices. They are not the cheapest in town but they aren't two dollars more per gallon like some random gas stations. A small discount is given if you pay cash. I always use credit and I get a small percentage cash back. I think its a toss up - do what makes you happy - and for me that is a convenient streamlined payment process. I've never had any issues with credit card theft. I usually do tap to pay at a Chevron and I think that is harder for Kriminals to tamper with. I think its always best to take a pump that is closest to the windows of the minimart too. I don't know much about the minimart - I never went in. I hear that is the only place gas stations really make profit. Sort of like selling drinks at restaurants.

Because of this upbringing, I'm pretty good at recognizing businesses that are now residing in old gas stations, or current filling stations that have been rebranded. So as Ian G. rightly points out, identifying SP Food Mart Gas as a former Shell station is a no brainer. Things aren't as cheap here as they used to be as the open market price differential seems to have tightened down in this part of the East Bay.
