I went here specifically for two things: a touchless car wash and to use a bathroom…read more I am grateful to have found a touchless car wash because I have a finish on my car that my detailer highly recommends a touchless car wash. I was somewhat satisfied with the car wash. However, my car wasn't as clean as I would've liked it to have been. The good thing was that my car didn't get scratched by brushes. I believe that they need to make the car wash go longer. I also went to this particular station because I needed to use the restroom. I went into the store, and the friendly cashier gave me the key to the outside bathroom. I walked out to the bathroom, and when I grabbed the door knob, the door opened without using the key. I was feeling a little anxious about someone opening the door while I was using the toilet, but that didn't happen. The person before me probably didn't close the door completely when they left the toilet. The convenience store was huge with lots of items to buy. Outside, there is air for your tires, and you can vacuum your car for a handful of quarters. I was impressed that they had buckets with water and windshield squeegees--I haven't seen very many squeegees at gas stations lately.

The main downside is the gas price, which felt pretty high compared to other stations in the area. It is okay if you need gas quickly or you are nearby, but I would probably check prices somewhere else first next time. Overall, not a bad station, just expensive.

Most of the time, I have a perfectly fine experience coming here. However, a couple times in the…read morelast few weeks, I've purchased a $1 super lotto from a pre-filled slip, and a beverage, when a particular guy is working there. Brown short hair, clean shaven, kind of slim, maybe 5'10", in his 20s or 30s. Both times he said, with a totally straight face: $20 for the lotto (which was actually $1 if you recall), and then whatever the price of the drink was. And quickly doing the math in his head, he verbally added $19 dollars to the grand total without missing a beat. When I looked at the register seeing the real total (which of course was $19 less than what he said), he deadpanned "just kidding". He did this exact same thing to me two different times in the span of a couple weeks. Seems very sketchy. Benefit of the doubt: I suppose he really could've been "just kidding", but if so, not funny at all and pretty poor taste to be trying that joke on paying customers that you don't know. Especially if you have no comedic demeanor or delivery with it. Keep an eye on this guy.

I regret this - I truly do…read more This has been my neighborhood my entire life. I've been away due to getting married, but since I've moved home, I'm sad to say that the ownership of this 7-11 location has radically changed. It used to be a nice, clean neighborhood resource of goods that you could run to anytime when you were out of something, like milk, eggs, maybe even a pretty individual rose for my grandmother when I had an extra couple of dollars. Tho owner I remember would greet everyone and always smiled, like a neighbor does. It was always a busy store and items were affordable (actually all of daily life was then). I went there this morning to grab some milk. I had forgotten to get some yesterday and needed some quickly. When I pulled into the parking lot, it was completely empty. I've NEVER seen a 7-11 parking lot empty in the morning! I walked in and felt like I was in a totally different country. The place was empty except for one cashier and one sales rep (I think). They spoke in another language and didn't even say anything to acknowledge me - at all. It was uncomfortable and I just ignored it. I went through the entire store. No gallons of milk. Only little, over-priced pints and quarts that were older, but still within their dates. I had to interrupt the conversation just to ask about milk. It was not a comfortable thing to do. The man at the register said he had none, other than little ones. The cold cases were not clean and the stock had changed dramatically! The store was now filled with all types of alcohol and crap food - what was still in stock. The store is now perfect for anyone who wants to be a drunk, party, or drink into oblivion. There was all sorts of alcohol - hard liquor to junk beer, and half of it had foreign labels. I'm old school, okay? I have lived here in Monterey Bay for 50+ years. I find the life here deteriorating in a huge way and this seven-eleven is a perfect example of the lowering quality of life in Santa Cruz, California. Everything is dirty, over-priced, and crappy. Very few options are offered now, and no one wants to be a warm neighbor and member of the hood anymore, possibly due to the lack of ability to identify with one another and communicate well. Thanks gubrnr noosm! Great job ruining the most beautiful state on earth. And big ups to the commyz in local gumt. Anyone left here who has been here for the last 30+ years understands this. But we are no longer a community. I will never enter the doors of this store again. What a wake-up call. Sorry, I need to shop in a store that is clean, at minimum.

I cancelled the transaction and left. Two days later I saw a $100 charge on my card from this gas station. I went in today to talk to the owner about it. He was so RUDE!! He told me it's not his problem and he won't do anything about it. No apology. Nothing. The woman behind me had put $30 into the lotto machine while I was there and never got her lotto tickets. The owner said he wouldn't help her either. He started raising his voice and continuing to be rude. All of us were just floored that he would speak to customers this way. This is the second bad experience I have had at this gas station. Needless to say I won't be returning.
