Reminiscent of my early years growing up, it's the "corner store" where you could buy a bottle of…read moreRC or Coke and grab a bag of chips or Hostess product. Very early 60's ..... if you like that kind of store. A real nostalgic market loaded with just about everything you need for the day. This place is busy during the summer because it's about 1/2 mile from Main St. So walking to DTSB to get drinks, chips, etc for the beach, then walking back is a real pain, hence Dolphin Market is a true "convenience" store for beach goers, as well as for locals. When in Seal Beach, drop by and visit during your walking tour. Happy Shoppin' and Fight On!

My love for the neighborhood corner market runs deep. My love for corner markets like the Dolphin…read moreMarket runs much deeper. I'm sure everyone can recall the small mom & pop corner market where they grew up, how it held untold treasures behind cabinets, under shelves and in the coolers. Cold soda pop, NiHis, jaw-breakers, ice cream bars, it was all here. Remember asking your parents for a quarter and running off with your friends to that market? Ken, the proprietor, says he owns over fifty surfboards. And I believe him cuz I think a third of them are here. They hang from the ceiling, lean against walls or lie on the floor waiting for some attention. Mop-headed, blond-haired kids come in wearing nothing more than bathing suits covered in sand and dried saltwater to stare in wide wonder at the waves these boards must have seen in their day. 8x10" faded photographs of ancient surf stars sliding down monstrous waves cover holes in the walls. Bobble-heads, mostly baseball characters, stare down impassively and watch the show from on high between rows of collectible Coke cans and the flotsam and jetsam of a lifelong collector. This is Ken's world. Wife "Barbie" runs their day care center. Maintaining two businesses means the "Open" sign isn't hung regularly but, as summer approaches, you'll spot it more and more as you walk up from the beach looking for that cold brew and hot story of how that ceiling-slung "Trestles Special" once carved delicious tracks across a sparkling blue wave. Deep love indeed.

I liked this CVS…read more It's clean, organized, well stocked and near the pier in Seal Beach. I don't know what more anyone can want from a CVS? I gave the man at the register a coupon for a free item the manufacture sent me to replace a bad one. He worked on this coupon for what seemed like 20 minutes trying to get the machine to take it. He kept on scanning it over and over--tried a different register--he was so frustrated but kept on trying different ideas to get it to work. I think in the end--he just said, "get out of here--just take it." I liked that he did not give up--he fought the good fight with the coupon. Free and easy parking. Go on over to the Seal Beach Pier and relax after you are done here.

On June 17, 2026, at around 4 or 4:30 pm the CVS Seal Beach location, I experienced verbal…read moreaggression, unprofessional conduct, and discriminatory treatment from the Photo Department Manager, Shaun S. His behavior escalated to the point where he yelled at me, pointed his finger at me, refused service, and ordered me to leave the store. Detailed Account of What Happened I visited the store for the third time to resolve issues with a photo order that had repeatedly been produced incorrectly. I also came to ask to print again a poster order that arrived without the adhesive backing required to mount it. When I approached the photo counter, Shaun asked for my last name. While he searched the system, I tried to locate the order on my phone, but the reception was poor. In a calm tone, I mentioned--using my usual affectionate language such as "sweetie"--that perhaps the team needed better training to avoid repeated mistakes with this product. Escalation by the Photo Manager Shaun became visibly impatient and told me harshly that he could not find the order and that I should reorder it. When I pointed out his tone, he raised his voice even more, insisting he was not being harsh. He then yelled to another employee to take over because he was "done with me," and he slammed the gate as he left the counter area. As a Latina woman, being yelled at by a man is culturally understood as verbal aggression. I stated that, while this behavior may be (I emphasize, may be) acceptable in his culture, it is considered unacceptable toward a woman in my culture. Aggressive Behavior Continues Shaun returned even more furious. He harshly ordered his employee to stop helping me, and then yelled at me to leave the store, effectively kicking me out. While the store manager, Nikki, was present, Shaun continued yelling across the counter, calling me a liar and making other comments I cannot fully recall due to the intensity of the situation. At one point, he moved closer behind the counter, pointing his finger at me repeatedly while yelling. Nikki attempted to calm him, but he did not listen to her. Cultural Context Nikki said I should not have mentioned "his culture." I explained to Nikki that in my culture, men yelling at women, pointing fingers, and speaking aggressively is considered verbal abuse, and I would not tolerate it. My comment about "his culture" was in the context of explaining why his behavior was especially offensive and unacceptable to me. I told her it felt like she was siding with the employee rather than the customer, and she responded that she stands by her employees. End of the Interaction Nikki advised me to reorder the poster at another location. I began walking toward the exit, but I firmly stated that Shaun lacked manners and basic customer service skills. He continued yelling sarcastically, repeating "God bless you" in a mocking tone. She once again attempted to calm him down; however, he clearly did not respect her, as he continued yelling at me and ignored her request to stop his behavior. Summary of Misconduct 1) Verbal aggression and yelling 2) Refusal of service 3) Ordering a customer to leave the store 4) Finger-pointing and intimidating body language 5) Hostile escalation instead of problem-solving 6) Failure of the store manager to protect the customer or de-escalate effectively Why This Matters This was neither a misunderstanding nor a difference in cultural perspectives. It was unprofessional, hostile, and discriminatory behavior from an employee in a position of authority. No customer should be treated this way, and no woman should be yelled at or intimidated by a male manager in a public business.

Can we talk about 7-Eleven coffee for a sec bc WHAT is going on…read more Some locations got the carafes like they're fancy. Others just brew a kiddie pool of coffee and dump it in a giant thermos to rot. Pick a struggle. So I pull up and the coffee is giving _iced coffee without the ice_ + bitter. Asked the employee if they could brew fresh and I stood there like an FBI agent watching the whole operation. Bro goes to the machine, does some button magic, grabs the thermos, gives it a lil hip bump, and walks away. Sir. SIR. Are we not gonna dump the crusty old coffee first??? There's def a cold coffee graveyard at the bottom of that thermos and you just poured hot coffee on top like it's a layered latte I was shook. Suddenly questioning every life choice that led me to 7-Eleven at 8am. BUT plot twist: thank GOD 7-Eleven isn't the only coffee dealer anymore bc his laziness sent me straight to Extra Mile down the street. And bestie... they got this new machine that's actually fire. 7-Eleven fumbled so hard I found an upgrade. Rating: 1/10 Coffee was a war crime, thermos hygiene is not a thing, and the hip-bump refill lives in my nightmares. Extra Mile clears.

Can't be longer than 24 hours. I was like seriously? It have been 24 hours yet. He didn't give two shits. They let their inventory sit out before they put it away. Because it was completely thawed out then refrozen. No one in this store that I've come across has been nice or helpful. I will not be going back to this particular 7-11
