The thing that stinks about doing check-ins at 7-Elevens is that it will keep appearing in the "Your next review awaits" screen. So, Yelp wants me to review a 7-Eleven. What Yelp wants I do.
I usually check in at this Seven Eleven after having breakfast in the Dunkin Donuts that shares the shopping center. This is usually before a hike. And the best thing for hiking is bottled water. The 2 for $2 Arrowhead special is a good deal. If I need to withdraw money I will use their Citi Bank ATM.
If somebody has never been to the Gibson Road 7- Eleven, it is a convenience store that is inconvenient to find. I just know its there from all my visits at the nearby Dunkin Donuts. It is the southernmost tenant in a long shopping center of small stores that sits off the west side of Gibson Road between Interstate 215 and American-Pacific. The usual 7-Eleven landmarks such as gas pumps, and tall sign are nonexistent. Driving northbound on Gibson Road it is almost impossible to know it exists. A couple driveways north of the actual store, there is a small 7-Eleven logo on a sign that it shares with other businesses. Even driving south on Gibson Road on the same side of the 7-Eleven, it is a labor to find it. The sign is by Subway. If I turned off by the sign, I would have to go into the plaza, make a u-turn, then a right in the long parking lot. Not very convenient! What is more inconvenient is trying to make a left turn from the Seven Eleven onto northbound Gibson Road. And that if its even legal.
Once people find this 7-Eleven, they won't say "Oh Thank Heaven for Seven Eleven." They will probably be happy that they found it and could grab their items and go.
I thought convenience stores are supposed to be convenient. I guess I learn something new everyday.
