I don’t have 7-11s in my state but C-store food is the lowest tier food you could buy. Hotdogs or taquitos on rollers. Some have cafes where you can order pizza, biscuits, and small sandwiches but I’m convinced McDonalds is healthier. I’d rather eat chips or a breakfast bar. Personally I never eat that kind of food because I see how nasty it looks. The pizza slices look microwaved. There is a chain that has amazing tacos. I’m pretty sure the low quality meat is just packed with sodium to make it edible.

Some convenience stores like Wawa on the east coast have fantastic food that is definitely better than McDonalds (and just as busy at lunch time).

  Quick Trip and Race Track are the nicest ones in my area but still have questionable warm food I avoid. The BPs have the taco place but I forgot what it’s called. A family owned gas station near me had really good homemade breakfast foods. The gas station closed so they ended up opening a breakfast store down the street, long lines everyday.

    Kwik Trip? Or is Quick Trip a different chain?

      Yes it’s different. People call it QT.

        They started showing up here (Phoenix area) like 5 years ago. The dominant market player (Circle K) looked far less clean and appetizing by comparison, so we tend to go there by preference now. The food is almost low-end-takeaway quality. The soft pretzels and milkshakes are nice, and the pizza will do in a pinch (particularly if you're the only one who wants it and get an individual-sized one) In my experience, the pizza there is low-end chain quality, but unlike ordering delivery, you end up getting one $10 pizza instead of the family descending into squabbles over toppings and ordering three pies, mozzerella sticks, wings, and spending the better part of a Franklin. One of the big pandemic-era family experiences has been getting a pizza there, dividing it up and eating it in the car. (the box is perforated so it can be torn into rudimentary plates)
