7 Eleven on steroids

I haven't been to a 7-11 since I stopped getting high decades ago.
That's the only way to go to a 7-11.

If you want the savings, then you need to carry the appropriate card
for it, it is not the store's responsibility to keep one on hand to
scan for you. If you just can't bear to carry the card then don't
expect a discount.

I doubt the employees have any say into when they stock the shelves,
they can't just suddenly decide to do it at night and make the putting
away of new items the responsibility of a different shift.

If the store bothers you this much perhaps finding a new store to go
to would be better.

Good feedback on the stocking and the middle-of-the-aisle displays. I
hate those displays also, they seem to often be in front of a product
I want. For the stocking, I'm sure the employees don't mind(or if
they do they shouldn't) if you ask them for a product they might be
able to reach while stocking that you can't. In other words, you
aren't disrupting their work.

I don't agree about the savings card though. Basically, they are
offering you a discount in exchange for your information. Buying it
in a way. They get something, you get something. It's totally
voluntary and if you don't want to give out your information, you
don't get the discount. Seems fair to me.

If you want a savings card, you have to agree to the terms and
conditions. If you don't like the terms then do not get the card.

Employees are not required to provide one for you.

is a 7-11 on steroids a GOOD thing or a BAD thing?

I don't carry savings cards either, most stores are more then happy to
look up your card using your phone number. That works well enough for
me. If the store doesnt offer that option I don't use the card there,
but I don't expect to get the additional savings.

LOL I thought this was about 7-11, I was about to ask who uses carts
at 7-11??

Now I see its written to food lion.

I do have to agree with you about the discount cards, I hate them and
never sign up for them, but on the other hand I never expect the
discounts either. I think if you dont opt to use it you shouldnt
either.

While not ideal to stock the shelves during the day, perhaps they had
a run on certain sale items, or a shipment was delayed and they had
run out of that particular stock. I am sure you would rather they
filled the shelves with the items you needed than not have any out at
all.

As for the MVP card -I am with Olie - you don't have to carry a card
but then don't expect the savings that come with having one. You made
that choice.

it's also insulting, I can read sale signs, I don't need a big display
to figure it out. The middle displays are also laziness and cost
cutting, no need to keep shelves stocked just dump it in the middle of
the aisle.

I know many people like it when a store brings attention to the items
on sale - it is suppose to make it easier for them to notice.

That way they can get in and out faster.

I know where I work, they suggested a "grab and go" section for some
of the most popular smaller items, just to make it easier for the
customer to get what they want and go, without having to go through
the entire store searching for each item.

Tricia V.,

The 7/11's I have been in have a front door and that is it. All
deliveries come through that door and go straight to the aisles for
stocking.

Most likely the truck arrives during the day ( when the staff is there
) and the goods have to be shelved then due to storage constraints.

I'm not up on what an MVP card is so I won't go there.

Good luck getting unfettered access in the future.
