7-Eleven

"Terrible worker. Didn’t get his name. But African. Either doesn’t speak English well or that’s his culture. Would not show me an item I asked five times. Just stood there with a smirk on his face. You know that smile they do. A customer said I think it’s this one. It was not. Because I warned im going to open it and if it has meat I’m not going to keep paying for the taquito. As I don’t eat meat. Lo and Behold it has meat. He rung it up anyway. That’s when I got snappy with him. His coworker another African and everyone heard because they can hear from beginning what occurred that literally I been asking for you to point out EXACTLY which has no meat in it. Which is the jalapeño and cheese one. That’s all I’m asking. Because they aren’t placed correctly with their sign. So I don’t keep touching them and having to pay for it. He wouldn’t budge I don’t get that encounter. Anyhow, I said I’m paying just for the one and that’s it that I already touched and opened and discovered meat in but anything else no because I had asked you to help me and show me exactly which does not. And you refused like a weirdo. He was so slow and incompetent about it. Not sure if it’s their culture they don’t respect women but not all Africans act like him. But I have surprisingly encountered weird Africans like him. Foreigners in general are weird when they act like that. Distant and quiet and odd and incompetent. It makes the customer service experience UNBEARABLE. At least the Middle Easterns working there before them because I been going here years as I live downtown, even though they had accents too were a lot more customer service friendly I’ll give them that. This minor simple encounter didn’t at all need to go like this. You help your customers when they have a question."

"Had an emergency, supposed to be open 24 hrs. Covid is over. Open the f up. Im sure they can afford to pay someone for four hours."

"Fair prices with friendly service, new staff treat even homeless persons with respect. Old staff used to have physical altercations with the homeless and disrespected anyone that they thought were homeless! Been a customer of this 7-11 for over 5 years. The improvements in staffing are incredible."

"Definitely not 24 hours. I try to stop in on my way to work sometimes around 4:30 and the guy is at the counter is playing on his phone with the doors locked. How does a chain like this get away with paying people to keep the doors locked and not provide service and get away with it?"

"Pros Located 2 blocks from Balboa Park 1/2 mile to Hillcrest 2 blocks from one of the famous 7-bridges Quick service Employees are fair, firm and consistent to discourage solicitors and transients Con There is never chocolate ice cream. I've been coming here for a decade and I'm perplexed about this phenomena."
