Top Ten Reasons...

Why 7-Eleven is better than Shockoe Espresso:

10. 7-Eleven is open 24 hours a day. Shockoe is open 24 hours a week.

9. The coffee still sucks, but at least 7-Eleven doesn't try to pretend like anyone would actually want to buy it in bulk.

8. 7-Eleven never smells, tastes or feels like burning.

7. Although equally disgruntled, you'll never have to worry about 7-Eleven employees touching your pastries or making your sandwiches bare-handed.

6. 7-Eleven never plays 80s love ballads on repeat.

5. 7-Eleven has seven different kinds of flavored creamer packets and a do-it yourself flavored syrup station. Shockoe has a jug of sour half-and-half.

4. 7-Eleven doesn't rape you for a bagel or make you pay 10 dollars for a bottle of expired Naked juice .

3. 7-Eleven is a 'friend to the environment', their coffee sleeve told me so.

2. You don't have to feel bad about feeling bad about yourself in a 7-Eleven. Everyone is there because they hate themselves.

1. No slam poetry Sundays. Period.


Feel free to add to the list - these are just the first 10 thoughts that popped into my head.

11. I didn't lose my virginity to a large, angry, coffee-serving, black man at 7-Eleven.
