7-Eleven

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station, fumbling with his keys in the dark. As he approached the door, an eerie glow seemed to pulse from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only a shadowy figure behind the counter. Suddenly, a voice boomed out: 'Welcome to 7-Eleven—last stop on Earth!' Turned out it was just a regular customer reading aloud from a sci-fi novel.

2. One morning, a neighbor stopped by the convenience store and asked the clerk, ‘Why do you always seem so sleepy?’ The clerk replied without missing a beat, ‘Because I’m working the overnight shift at 7-Eleven!’ A few days later, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the gas pump. He yawned and said, 'I bet you're never really awake here!' The clerk grinned back, 'That's why they pay me to stay alert—even if it’s just pretending!'

3. At closing time, an elderly gentleman walked into the 7-Eleven, puzzled. ‘I thought you were open until midnight,’ he said to the clerk. The clerk smiled and replied, 'Sir, we're closed now.' The old man looked around, confused but amused. 'Well, I guess I'll just have to come back tomorrow,' he said with a twinkle in his eye. And so, every evening, he'd return at exactly midnight, only to be gently turned away by the friendly staff.

4. At dawn, a sleepy clerk unlocked the doors of the 7-Eleven. As he turned on the lights, something unusual caught his eye—a mysterious package had appeared in the parking lot, wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked up the package and noticed it was heavy. Inside was an old thermos filled with piping hot coffee. A note read: ‘For your early mornings—from a grateful neighbor.’ The clerk smiled, poured himself a cup, and realized it was going to be a great day after all.
