Circle K
reviews and complaints

I had a problem at a local store with a rude & ignorant employee. I called the customer service phone line six times and never got a live person to answer the phone. I left four messages explaining that I had a problem with a local store, and requested a return phone call. 2 weeks later and I have yet to hear from anyone in the company.. The company's greeting when you call their voice mail is... That they "value their customers"... What a joke.

The circle k at 2352 n. Alvernon has hired some horrible employees. We live next to one that stabbed their dog and lied about it and verbally abuses their other dogs and child. I was told by a neighbor that the dog was stabbed by the ex convict boyfriend that lives with her miss gracy. She is very rude at her work and if this is the kind of people you hire to live in our communities thats a horrible shame. I want her transferred or out of my community period. Thats if you care about vets and the community that has to put up with this. They recruit

I was hired for 3 nights a week. The manager and district manager made sure that I knew before I was hired that it was Only for nights. I was very happy because that's what I wanted. I had just had a baby and am breast feeding. Federal law states that an employer who employes more than 50 employees must supply a mother with a sanitary and private area to pump when needed, which btw you can not do on day shift because of the high volume of customers. Well, a few weeks ago I hurt my back on the big cooler door. Finally 3 weeks later they take me to the doctors and all of a sudden I have been put on day shift, which I can't work. I was told by my manager, in front of the other employees during a meeting, that I either work days or find another job. When I was hired, they made such a big deal about how I had to work nights and I told them that was exactally what I wanted, now I am being put on days when they know I can't work or pump at work. Btw, I am being made to pump in a bathroom which is against federal law as well.

Well this is the second time this has happend to me on the 3rd shift by the same guy.. The first time I gave him my tickets and he did some kind of exchange for less money than wat was won. I didnt think nothing of it due to me buying snack merchandise as well, thinking maybe what I bought took up the other money left in change.. Well today I went in with a five, and two dollar winning tickets. He than got one by one and to exchange one of the two tickets for a losing one. He did this by grabbing them to were his hand was hidden from my view to exchange the winning ticket and then made it seem as if I gave him a losing ticket. Thers should be nopenalties withheld to this guy.

Just wondering how the public feels about a manager posting stuff like this on facebook

I just dont understand... If you are poor and getting foodstamps.. Etc.. How can you just walk into your job and say I quit its not for me! I'm sure tour caseworker feels the same somedays and would like the info were to lazy to earn our living..

Lost a phone at circle k employer who I tried to get her name wouldn't give me it however the employer text from that phone that invaded the owners privacy I am the girlfriend of the owner phone ..as an employee she should of not text from it to use it yo contact me with whatever situation me and him are in Cruz we were fighting..

the management is bad to its employees then the employees do the same to the customers . its all a viscious cycle. i dont blame them because i have done quite a few beer heists in my time. its just an obnoxious place to bpatronize

I worked for circle k for 3 months during that time it took everything in me not to quit. Things got really out of hand and I finally decided to call my managers boss. I told him of he issues I had and what was going on in that store. After doing so, things only got worst for me. The mgr. Began to retaliate against me. She change my schedule, she made threats about my job. She actually wrote me up for petty bull. I callled in sick with a mirgraine and she told me her boss said take a pill and come to work. She had no respect for herself or customers or other workers she discriminated against me as I was the only person there of a certain race and others were of the same race. She did not have a problem using profanity with employees and in front of customers. She ma know her job but she is not management material. It is time soomeone investigates this company and there actions since the bosses don't care. Discrimination and retailiation is against the law but the company does not seem.to.care. nothing hhas been done at this store and I have quit . I have tried to contact the mage. As well as her boss but can not get them to reply.

These places get robbed easily. Why don't they install those windows for the night associates so they can keep the doors looked so no one comes inside. One on Coursey Blvd. just got robbed Jan. 1st. This is a very simple solution and may save lives of someone just trying to work and make a living. It could also save the company a lawsuit. Please install these windows. to better protect these people. Not to mention they have on person on sift at night. That's just crazy and unsafe.

I go used to this Circle K often because of convenience but 99% of the time I go there the clerks either have a friend there chatting them up or are on the phone and refuse to say a word to the customers. This is the case with all but two of the employees. One, I believe, is named Ashley and I think she is the manager and the other is a redhead who recently started. All of the other employees are rude and ignore the customers. I now avoid this store.

I had put in an application, probably three weeks ago? I went in, submitted my background test and took the personal store test. I passed both, very well seeing i had a spotless record. They never called me, when ever I went in to talk to the manager or called, they said we aren't hiring right now.. So i repeatedly gave him my phone number and asked him to call the an opening opened up.. I found out today that he hired someone (same day they put in their application) without even giving me and interview when everything for my application had been processed WEEKS ago. How is that even fair? I have been without a job for seven months. I'm barely making it. I have to depend on the government for my food. I couldn't even get an interview. Wow. My respect for circle k.. totally gone. I'm done and I'm telling everyone I know not to go there.

Circle k sucks they don't care about their employees at all. I was having an incident with a dm that was treating everyone like ### so I went to the regional operations manager and they flipped the whole thing on me and said I was the bad one. That dm tried to write me up and I have never been written up in the 4 years i've been with the company so I refused it. We had a sit down and they couldn't care less what I had to say since that particular dm had been with the company for 20 years or so... Now I got transferred to the south side locations which I requested and got after they made me stay in the district I asked to get out of and at this store the store manager screamed at me for something his favorite person he transferred with him didn't do. He was yelling at me and put his hands in my face and when I told him to take his hands outta my face he told me "he could do what ever her wanted to do". Now weeks later another incident occurred he is constantly picking at me for dumb things. He tries to say company policy is this and that but then takes the ucp donation money and puts it in the register and takes home beer... I bet that aint company policy. I'm tired of this ### ### company and if it was for me having trouble in this economy finding another job I would have been out the door. Someone has to do something about poor treatment to employees at circle k.

the employes at circle k get treated like dogs. They do not pay well and if you want a raise don't expect more than a 15cent raise. the company wont pay for uniform shirts, they wont even give their employes a fountain soda that costs 75 cents . they make them work everyday of the year all year most holidays are payed normal wage as well as sundays. hours their are spread out thin and most employes are made to work alone during busy times of the day without any support they must run an entire store by themselves. they are subjected to unfair mystery shops. the people that are head of the corporate offices are bumbling idiots who don't know their ### from their elbow. employes may not have an over time. and on top of that the benefits are absolutely terrible. in my opinion the people who run corporate are terrible people as well as terrible managers who care nothing for their employes. they demand everything from them but never show them anything in return.

Its so many things about Circle K, For one they do not care about their workers.Ive been there for five years plus I help run some of their high volume stores. I tried to go with the flow but I'm steady being put down walk over and I've done had enough, don't know one deserve to be treated that way. My boss recently quit and market manager was demoted for what reason I don't know but they bring in a market manager so hung up on her power that she abuses the leverage (Micro-Manager) is what she called. She brags about how she started at 3rd shift and promoted to store manager in 3 months (Impossible unless). Its a lot of favoritism in this company either you with the program or you get kick off the program or harassed to you quit. one thing I'm not is a quit-er. The new market manager told me that i wasn't worthy or even qualified to be a MIT (Manager in Training), even tho I've been there for five years plus I've trained store managers and help run good stores with great audits beside that they hire people of the street for that position. Since my boss left the store they given me hell really never took the time out to know me just judging me off of whatever and I'm a good employee never stole anything do what I'm told and still get bad end of a situation, why ? what did I do to get this type of treatment? We had a meeting and I was signal out . This lady had the nerves to ask me to quit and i said I'm not a quit-er after this convo things change my hours change, threatened to be fired more double standards which its okay for this person to do it but if I do it I'm fired, Even denied my right to go to the Doctor about my Pink eye. I called four hours before my shift and said I would bring a Doctor excuses and that wasn't enough was told if i didn't show up I would be fired, ( so unethical), then sent to another store and got suspended for at first a 80 dollar shortage which was the store manager fault because he shut the shift down wrong but money come back next day so now suspended cause I've went to work 3rd shift doing the store manager a favor and cleaned this nasty store up I've mean walls, restrooms, garbage cans outside, inside face and front, stocked all supplies, and mop several times in a very hot store, I admit I was tired, sleepy and hot and I fail to do the cooler, now this was my first time working over night at this store so I didn't know I was supposed to do the cooler and leave the doors open while I'm in a cooler (very dangerous at 3.00 in the mourning), but like I said they don't care about the lives of their employees. What do you do when you steady being push to the wall. I might get fired for writing this so I'm going to keep a copy of it and get EEOC involved for harassment and creating a hostile work environment .

I use a wheelchair, and I find it very difficult to enter your store. I asked because of my issue could I play the lotto through the drive thru. All of your employees have been helpful to me in this area. I went there today 4/26/12 and was refused service by your store manager Scott. I understand rules and regulations but do to your sign outside the door that states you will assists people with disabilities I am unclear on the type of assistance you are willing to provide to people with disabilities. If you are willing to modify assistance how come your manager is unaware of this. I feel like this was a form of discrimination becauses the sign says you will assist disabled people yet I was turned away. All the places I go generally don't have any problems assisting me from my car so I am truly shocked by the treatment I received.

"i was just robbed by a cashier" I paid five dollars of gas and waited for the pump to turn on I waited for over about a half hour and no gas. I went in the store to talk to the cashier an I told him whats going on. He stated " I already pumped the gas an laughed at me and told me to get the f*** out of the store". I asked to have a customer service number so I can speak with someone about this ridiculous situation. He stated " he cant give it to me and said to come back in the morning. " he never gave me my money back and nothing was done about the situation. This is the type of people they hire an have working at there store, I dont need to be wasting my hard earned money just to get robbed by a cashier suppose to be doing his job...
