The Duality of 7-Eleven
Overview
7-Eleven can be a cheap's best friend... but watch out! these stores are full of rip-off land-mines!🔥
Coffee is a no-brainer, 7-Eleven has as-good-a-cup-of-coffee as anywhere and the price is right. I have never had coffee from Starbuck's and never will which is a subject for another article.
Nobody anywhere anyhow beats 7-Eleven when it comes to a soda fountain. It's cheap - 99 cents for 32 oz or more depending on the promotion and season... and it's good - the syrup mixed with the soda as you dispense it - as long as you don't mind your soft drink in a plastic cup with a plastic lid and through a straw - you'll be happy. To ensure you head toward the soda fountain as opposed to the cooler, the price for a 20 oz. plastic bottle of diet pepsi is $2.50 (land mine KaBoom)🔥.
God forbid you need any kind of medicine at 7-Eleven... Ibuprofin - KaBoom🔥, Nyquil - KaBoom🔥.
I hate to say it, but anything in a 7-Eleven that a kid might like is over-priced - KaBlooey🔥.
Loyalty Program
From my experience - most loyalty programs are a waste of effort. 7-Eleven changes all that.
I wasted a year with Subway's loyalty card and felt foolish they kept me coming back with a very tiny carrot and the cashiers didn't know how to apply it at point of sale. I know the promotions, they know the promotions, the sandwich makers just face-plant it when it comes to executing the tendering process. I have three Subways in my comfort circle and they all flat out fail with any promotion, coupon, phone-ahead or on-line order... the only way it works is to walk in, look at them, tell them how to make your sandwich step-by-step pay cash and run.
But I digress.
7-Eleven's APP
I hate apps and don't down-load them as they are evil
7-Eleven's app is a value.
I love beer, I don't love wings. Right now I get 10 wings for a dollar when I buy beer. I go ahead and get the wings and feed one of the kids.
2.50 for an orange juice? KaBoom🔥. Frozen dinners? KerPlush🔥. Candy? Remember the McDonald's method of getting to the kids early. KaPow🔥.
Avoid emergencies and you will avoid the land mines. The very best place to buy coffee and the very best place to buy beer is 7-Eleven.
THAT'S A 100% **** FOUR STAR ENDORSEMNT that means nothing.
I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate APPs in general but especially the ones that - more often than not - are complicated. I actually didn't even think of it until now but the 7-Eleven app has performed perfectly. It's funny how we spend so little time praising things that work.
Apparantly there are about 7,000 7-Eleven stores in the United States, about 1,500 of those are corporately owned, so that means the overwhelming majority of locations are franchised and that means a lot of inconsistancy in pricing. Franchisees pick their own prices. If you want to see how greedy a 7-Eleven franchisee is see how much they charge for Twinkies, $1.29 or $2.99...
