So, they tore down the abandoned 76 station and built a 7-Eleven. Big deal? Maybe; This 7-Eleven is very new and nice inside. It does not smell of east Indian incense and unwrapped dehydrated meat, and the candy bar warppers are not sticky.
Stopping at a 7-Eleven for a cola slurpee is a childhood memory that will never die, so it's nice to have a slurpee vendor close to my workplace now. Of course, many years ago, the carbonated frozen treat known as the slurpee used to be made with real sugar. Today, real sugar has been replaced by high fructose corn syrup in almost everything, but it's still sorta close to that childhood sugary memory. High fructose corn syrup just has a weird aftertaste that apparently doesn't bother most people, but it does bother me. If they ever go back to real sugar in the slurpees, then this will get 5 stars for sure.
The staff is friendly, and talk WAY too fast. Their ethnicity is not a concern of mine like it is to some people. All I care about is how they treat their customers, and so far, that is excellent! They have donuts and coffee that are legendary, if not a tad profitable for Curves and Jenny Craig, and the building is so clean! I hope they keep it that way. I don't go into the 7-Eleven in Ben Holt or Quail Lakes anymore because you feel like you need a shower afterward. A stop in the bathroom requires a follow-up tetanus shot.
Stop by the new location at Pacific and Thornton at the Thornton and Lower Sac "Y", you'll enjoy being in a 7-Eleven that is as clean as your childhood memory of the popular quick-stop. Minus the nice old man smoking a pipe behind the counter, thank goodness!
