This is why 7-Eleven stores are terrible. They're just antiseptic bodegas without the joy of seeing a cat there.

And they consider themselves a reputable establishment…

New Yorkers don't know the joys of Wawa or Sheetz. They're paradises compared with 7-Eleven.

Sadly Wawa really downgraded their deli meats a few years ago...still an outrageous upgrade from 7-11 though.

Yeah Wawa is C tier convenience store at best. Store is clean but the hot and ready food has sucked for a while, their breakfast sandwiches got TERRIBLE, and the deli is crap.

I am a sucker for a Royal Farms though, cleaner presentation than Wawa and fried chicken 24/7

I wouldn't go THAT far. I'd say B+ for a regional-national sized chain. The deli is worse than it used to be but it's still way better than say subway, and the convenience store snack selection is still excellent.

Still, I pine for the good old days when you could literally get your Thanksgiving turkey there.

That's fair, i just miss those good breakfast sandwiches so much. I'm out on the west coast now and nobody can make a good bacon egg and cheese

There are truck stops where they announce showers that are miles better than 7-Eleven.

As someone that grew up in South Jersey, I agree.

A 7-11 near me closed a few months ago. It was vacant until recently, when they added signage and started installing new shelves/coolers/etc for a new bodega. A great trade.

The shit they try to get New Yorkers to eat their pizza is hilarious

My teenaged daughter ordered a 7-11 pizza and had it delivered by Grubhub. I’m ashamed and my neighbors in Brooklyn won’t look me in the eye now.

Sounds like bad parenting.

It’s always so sad when the Seamless app has that “Would you like us to pick up something from 7-11 on the way?” message after you place an order. Very desperate of 7-11.

Hey, when you bear in mind that it's basically just a mid-tier frozen pizza that somebody else heated up for you it's not terrible.
