Pretty annoyed this evening with 7-11 located at 6904 Victoria Drive, Vancouver. BC.  All day I saw ad’s online, in newspapers, on radio, etc saying Come wish 7-11 a Happy Birthday and enjoy a free Slurpee!  Well I was out getting groceries and went out of my way to swing by 7-11 and was planning to buy some other snacks and lottery as well but when I showed up there was a sign on the door saying “SORRY we do not have any FREE SLURPEE we gave more than 1000 cups already sorry again”…

Stupidly, my wife decided she didn’t care and wanted one because of all the ads and ended up going in an buying one. I refused to pay for one…I HATE being told one thing and then seeing something else. Being misled is not cool 7-11. You may have just lost a customer….

Nexus for domestic travel

Did you know you can use your Nexus pass for security clearance while traveling domestically? This morning while going through domestic security at YVR there was a special Nexus line. I was quite curious to see what that was abut, it seems they have made a special line for Nexus members, I guess it is a fairly good assumption that people who hold a Nexus are probably frequent travelers and should know how to properly go through security checks. (pull out electronics, etc…).

I asked one of the works how long this has been in place, he said only a week, I do not know if they also have a special Nexus line for security checks going international, but I would assume they do, if not I guess they are probably rolling them out?

Anyways, I think the special Nexus line is fantastic and will help save me even more time while traveling…less time doing security checks, more time enjoying the airline lounges!
