It had been a very hot day and the small bottle of water I had aquired from the nail spa wasn't enough. 7 Eleven is known for having great deals for a decent price. 2 drinks for $2.22 or $3.50 depending on what drinks they are generally hit the spot. If you are with friends, you can get two drinks for $3.00 and not have to split a drink. Perfect for teenage kids with limited money. Hot Dogs which are delicious 96% of the time. I have had 7 Eleven pizza a few times as well. The price for a whole 7 Eleven pizza with drinks under ten bucks is perfect for a kid. This 7 Eleven looked pretty new, but I believe it has been around for a while. The store was clean and organized. I also noticed this store seemed to have more alcohol sold here than I have seen in other stores. Maybe it just seemed that way because of wines on shelves next to the refrigerated beer/wine. I ended up with buying a 7 Eleven brand of drink. The drink happened to have a special sale where you can get two for $2.50. I went with two guava drinks. On my way out, I looked at the Slurpee machine and thought about how people from kids to adults cap the cup and then pour their favorite drink through the top of the hole. A trick I was taught by a friend to which I still do today. I taught the same trick to a few other people who I am sure still do this trick too. I thought about the impact of The Coke Slurpee on my tastebuds when I first tried it back in the 80's. You know, I might just have one this weekend now that I am writing about it. After checking out, I finished one of the drinks I bought. I still have one of those drinks for today or tomorrow. Hey, it will be delicious whenever i have it. I had a good experience here.

My husband smokes Lucky Strike Menthol Short Box cigarettes and, without fail, they always have his carton ready the instant they see him park. It's not just efficiency, y'all: it's the genuine warmth they radiate whenever we walk in that makes this particular 7-11 exceptional. You can tell they truly enjoy seeing their regulars - that kind of authentic friendliness is rare these days. One experience perfectly sums up their incredible customer service.. My husband had only purchased a few packs of cigarettes one day, and accidentally left them on the counter. Instead of just letting them sit there our cashier sprinted outside to our car, tapped on the roof to get our attention, and handed my husband his cigarettes with that same bright, welcoming smile. Moments like that 1 where employees go above and beyond with genuine care - are priceless. This McLean 7-11 isn't just a convenience store: it's a shining example of what customer service should be. Every visit leaves us smiling, and we are always grateful for the team there. Truly, places like this don't exist anymore - they deserve all the praise in the world.
