Why bother to even write a review for a convenience store ? In this case its fair warning to go to one of the other ones in the area, ANY other one in the area. Read through the non recommended reviews below, everything negative is not only the truth but if anything understated. You think they are bad search for the same address under 7 eleven as opposed to spelling out "seven". Absolutely appalling.
The majority of the employees have exceedingly poor hygiene in every manner you can possibly imagine. The place is well air conditioned for such a hot micro-climate, but the body odor of the staff could raise the dead, these oafs have clearly not bathed in days or been to a laundromat in weeks. They have an unbelievably good location and their very high volume of foot traffic reflects that, the milk and dairy are actually fairly priced, but the behavior of both management and (most of) staff are beneath all contempt.
The thing is, they have three cash registers and an absolutely aggressive unwillingness to use more than one of them, regardless of how long the line is and the fact that there are three employees on the clock . I have experienced this more than once, more than twice, and just plain stopped coming here. There is zero sense of urgency when the line is long, especially when the line is long, extra people behind the counter doing nothing and conversing in foreign language obvious to the line, looking right through it like you are not there.
Picture this, fifteen plus people in line, a detailed lottery transaction at the head of the line, and three people behind the counter. One register open and that line is not moving. After buying an array of computer terminal lottery tickets and verifying the correct numbers, the guy buys an expensive $25 scratcher and he and the clerk gleefully scratch off to see the results as the single line does not move and grows longer. One clerk, the tall one, has his back to the line and is doing nothing other than staring at the back wall. The other one spends an endless amount of time rearranging the hot dogs on the rollers. Not pulling them off as they are too old (they were) or putting fresh ones on (got to sell the ancient ones) just rearranging their positions. F*&%ing unbelievable.
I have observed this comic opera more than once, actually more than twice. The last time in sheer desperation to get a newspaper and get out of there I called the idiot supervisor on it as there was a young new Hispanic female employee of a different ethnic origin than the rest of the mutts that work here, a fine intelligent young lady who clearly saw the idiocy in the situation you could see it in her expression and all the other aspects of nonverbal communication, I asked him what it took to open a second register and he ignored me. I handed the girl the two dollars plus a nineteen cents to cover the tax and the idiot supervisor chimes in you cannot do that because it has not been scanned. I tell him again that he has three registers and at least one other employee that can obviously count tax on two bucks in her head, and to go scan another paper himself when he is done playing the lottery. Another customer in the line chimed in that this was the most inefficiently managed (Southland) location he had ever seen. read more
