I'M SORRY, IT'S STORE POLICY!!

[fishfry]

I will drive the extra miles to another store then go to 7-11, they are dirty and smell.
Yes I like to gas up and then go inside and get what I need. Not going in, prepay first go out and pump and then going back in. I buy a lot of ice, cokes, water for everyone on the job and buy $100.00's of dollars in fuel a week and only by it at 2 places. I pay in a check or cash. I like my gas stations and the people that work there. You can't do that at 7-11.

[quadracer1992]

Maybe the lady at the store has been watching you and thought you were finally going to execute the heist you have been planning for years. LOL!!

LOLOLOL!!

[Busta Nutt]

Get up 20 minutes earlier tomorrow and make that kid a decent breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day you know.

Thats what I'm talkin about.

[KB]

I have seen a few 7-11's that are disgusting. I wouldn't trust anything without a seal on it. Alot of the people who work at 7-11s are the rejected ones from other stores.

I agree, they be nasty up in there.

On a side note, heres a funny story that happened in Tampa to a girl I know. But I think it was a Circle K, my friend & her mom worked at the same place together & took there lunch breaks together, one day on there break they went to this Circle K, her mom was in front of her in line & the nappy headed female clerk said somethin rude to my friends mom, so my friend said somethin back to the clerk, I forget what it was actually about.
Anyways the clerk came around the corner & followed my friend outside talkin her ebononic sh!t, my friend grabbed that girl by the hair & beat her azz right in the parking lot, on camera. A car full of brotha's seen it all happen when they were stopped at the light & pulled in there talkin about "ooohhh girl you just whooped that girls azz" Made my friend happy, the police showed up along w/ the stores regional manager & watched the tape, none could believe the cashier walked from behind the register, outside to argue. She was fired & my friend got a little settlement check in the mail.

That's funny KB. I was in a store one time with my girlfriend and this nappy headed girl was so rude to my girl and I. She was making fun of my girl and I because we had camo hats on. She was mad because I had no cash, and had to use a credit card to make the purchase plus, the machine wasn't working for her. She had to call someone else with experience with that stuff so I could pay for my stuff. On the way out of the store I went back to my truck and saw her walking around the parking lot, so I started cleaning all of the trash out of my truck and I threw all of the trash on the ground and I told her to pick up Larry The Cable Guys trash. She was mad that she had to work.

Thats funy too, give them what they ask for.

Busta, yo old lady who worked at that circle k, I know your just kiddin but the first day of school is a little hectic, you should know since your name is busta nut,you probably gotta bus for all them kids.

Nowaday's a decent breakfast for me is some Cuban Coffee & toast.

I remember eating Raisin Bran w/ a spoonfull of sugar on top, then came along Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Good for you!!!  I would have lost it also.

[Fox17]

I'm really sick of 7-11s. I perfer the Race Track gas stations better.

I like RaceTrack, Radiant, Hess & BP, I don't know where Racetrack or Radiant gets there gas from, Chavez has gotten sneaky & started another name because a lot of people stopped buying gas at CITGO. I hope it's not his gas. That guy's insane !

Sunoco for me! $.63 for a 44oz. refill!

snickers bar and a red bull.  mmmmmm  breakfast of champions

you should try the 440z. dew. thatll wake ya up.

[GrizzlyGator]

not wanting to jump on the I agree band wagon here...but just playing the Devils' advocate.........You for one I don't think you should have gotten on the clerk she didn't make the policy(ask for the manager), also what if someone else came in with a back pack on would she have to decide again if that person should take it off?? By the way I agree with you its stupid to think a 9 yr old with his father is going to rob the place but?? I could just see the ruckus when they say you didn't make them take theirs off! it is terrible that we live in a world today where such actions must be taken to protect the law abiding citizens of this great country. I'm quite sure she / he the clerk could have handled it with more tact but you are talking about a 7-11 store clerk here..$5.00 /hr not exactly a human rescourse manager candidate for handling hundreds of differtent personalities that walk through that door everyday! 
--------------------------


I know what your saying, but what I might have missed trying to get my point across it that there shouldn't be any policy stating what you can't wear or carry in to a store whatever you want.   What's next.  How litteral should their policies get.  If there was a woman in that store carrying a purse at the time you darn tootin I would have brought that up and suggested she leave that sitting at the door as well..   After all,  in order for something to go in my sons pack he would have had to unzip it.  A woman's purse just pulls open.  Then whats next, having to turn our pockets inside out for the clerk before departing?  It would be easier to pocket something vs unzip store then rezip.   Have I illustrated a bit better as to the terrible inconsistence and the huge insulting manner of the policy in general?  Instead of having a policy citing me and all their other customers as a thief, why not just have an internal policy when someone has a pack, be friendly and just keep your eye on them without saying anything.  Maybe the  clerk out on the floor could call for one of the three or four other white shirt employees to get out of the office and watch for theft prevention.   It's not as big a deal if I know I'm being watched vs be rudely told to leave my belongings at the public door.
cjt

I'm with ya !!!!~ hahahaha!!! OK mr. Willis please pull your pockets out before you come into the store...That would be hilarious...and I DO SEE UR POINT. please remember I agree with you wasn't bashing.. I like KB's response tell them "no speka de engless K?"   

[Joedirt]

AGAIN...accidentally smashing her in the face with a cinder block would work as well. 

[Bleedsblue]

Although I agree I wouldn't have been happy about the situation you have to understand their side of it also. Getting upset at them because they are trying to protect their store from theft isn't the right thing to do. If they make the exception for you what happens to the next kid that walks in right behind you with a back pack? Being offened that you think they are accusing you of being a thief would be no different than every person in america being pissed that they have to pay before they pump gas...same thing they don't trust you to pay after you pump...doesn't mean you are a criminal. They are just protecting their business as best they can. If you had lived in a small town then yes I'd be upset but in south Florida there is just too much crime and just because you see someone every so often doesn't mean they aren't a thief. I agree about the purse comment as some women carry purses bigger than back packs but it's a big unreasonable to tell someone to leave their cash at the front door.

I worked in a retail store as a teen and we had a policy of no kids under 14 allowed in without a parent. Too many kids coming in damaging product and stealing when it got too busy. It didn't mean every kid was trouble but it was the only way to reduce the risk of losses otherwise we would have shut down.

Moral of the story.





Chavez and 7-11's suck!!!


let them all go to hell.

[Busta Nutt]

No KB I am not kiddin. If they don't want backpacks in there then don't bring them. Seems simple enough to me. As far as I know there is nothing to be learned in a 7-11 so there would be no need for a pack full of school supplies. Why can't you leave it in the car?  If that is thier policy than so be it and get over it. I don't get my azz in a bind if the sign on the liquor store says no shirt, no shoes, no booze.

Oh, OK, but WE WERE NOT talking about an ADULT going into a store w/a back pack on, we were talkin about a kid on the first day of School that was really proud of his new back-pack & went into a store w/ his Father. I asked my stepdaughter if I could Carry hers for her when we left the house for School & she said "No I got it", so some of us kinda understand, some might not.

You replied back & said "You shoulda got up 20 minutes early, a fixed your kid some breakfast", I know how the first day of School can be a little hectic, kids were use to stayin up late & sleepin in, now they have to get up & ready for school, I've stopped at the store a few times on the way to School to grab the kids a couple Lunchables myself.

Sorry if any of us got you upset Busta Nutt, didn't mean too.


PS. I'm just curious, do you have any kids, or do you & your mom work at a 7-11 ?

off topic but another stupid store clerk story,

Here in Tampa there is a BBQ called "Rodneys Rib House" I use to go there for lunch but got tired of Rodneys attitude after a customer ASKED if he could change the TV station to the little league world series that was playing that week, Rodney rudely replied" if somebody was a guest in yo mommas house would you get up to ask change the station" I was like WOW he must not want this customer(embarresed by now)to want to come back. Since then I stopped going, I didnt care how good his ribs where.

Well a couple months later a woman & her dog walked in the restraunt & he chewed her out talkin about "get you & yo stank azz dog up outta here". Well Rodney must be pretty stupid not to be able to tell a dog on a leash or a dog from a seeing eye dog handle/halter/ whatever you call it. Anyways the lady was blind, it was her seeing eye dog,the lady felt terrible, she must of called the Blind People Coalition or whoever they are & they got involved, he gotta big fine,was all over the news, closed down shop, a few months later I seen him on the side of the road w/ a trailer trying to sell BBQ, now he stepped up & moved back into a building, but it looks like a real rat hole.

He does make some good ribs, I think he's kin folk to Momma flossies on Broadway(east Tampa) thats prob. where he got his recipes from,
he mostly caters to people that work at MacDill,AFB since he's right down the street from there main gate, he gets a good lunch crowd from them, maybe he thinks that since his ribs are so good & he pulls a good crowd(from MacDill,AFB anyways) he can be rude to his customers IDK.

I have to go with BleedsBlue (Bill) It was nothing personal, just business.

I have to go with BleedsBlue (Bill) It was nothing personal, just business.

I could agree w/ that as long as the clerk asked/told me in a nice kinda way.
But if it's the typical 7-11 clerks I'm thinkin of, that I see first thing on a Mon. morning who look like they been up all weekend, not lookin too good, I would doubt that (unless they havent changed shifts yet i guess)

My momma always told me "it's not what you say,it's how you say it", be rude to me & I'll dish right back at ya, (aint skeered)

Right it is business but regardless they should still treat you as a valued customer. No reason to be rude to you or your family about it. Unfortunately you are talking about someone that couldn't get a real job so they probably don't know how to act in public.

Hey KB we both work at 7-11 and my mom is the manager. You still cleaning them port a lets?

Hey KB we both work at 7-11 and my mom is the manager. You still cleaning them port a lets?

I had an idea that y'all worked there & you mighta gotta little up-set about me raggin on rude 7-11 clerks,
 I'm sorry, I'm sure you & your mom's 7-11 isn't like that.

How did you know that I'm in the Porto-Let Business ?
I'll be supplying & servicing them for the MOTOPLEX, I asked PaulS not to tell anyone thats what I do, but I guess he did.
If the bathroom at your 7-11 ever gets stopped up, PM me & I'll come w/ my snake, I know how some of them commodes in those 7-11's can get stopped up somethin fierce, I'll be glad to help any way I can.

All I ask for is a FREE SLURPEE please.
                                                     A Thousand Appologies my friend.

[dirty1]

attitude towards customers is most important when you rely on the public to keep your doors open.  i work at a mobil station in miami that has been in the same spot and same owner since 1960.  there isnt another station in miami with that kind of record because they are all rude and treat customers like this.......   hell bring a 9yo into our station for the first day of school and he'll probably leave with free candy.....
