Circle K
reviews and complaints

Went to Circle K on 24th St. & Indian School Rd. in Phoenix, AZ at 8:35 PM. Another customer tells me the clerk just put up a sign saying "Back in 15 minutes". Thought to myself.."must have needed to use the bathroom" only to be surprised to see her mopping the floor. Good to know customers who want to SPEND MONEY are lower priority than mopping the floors there!...Went to QT instead!

Experience morning of Jan 14, 2017 at CK on 83rd ave and Van Buren.

I have gone to this CK since it opened. I actually prefer to go here than the QT closer to me. This morning, however, I was rather disappointed in the service I received from the older gentleman who works there; he drives a class, turquoise car that he usually parks at one of the gas pumps. Usually, he is friendly and courteous. This morning around 8 am, I noticed a different side to this man.

The pump did not automatically stop pumping gas into my car this morning, and so I had to manually stop the gas pump and there was a good amount of gas that got onto the concrete. I have never experienced this. So I went in the store to tell someone—and the old gentlemen is who I talked to. Rather than be understanding and concerned, he begin to lecture me as if I did not know how to gas my car and told me that “ideally, the person pumping should be at the car” and that I was supposed to stop the pump myself. I felt he was defensive rather that helpful and concerned about the pump being defective. I thought I’d tell him so that he could perhaps look at the pump, see how much gas had spilled, et cetera. Instead, he was defensive and rude and blew the situation off as if I was the one at fault and did not know how to gas my car.

I really do like this CK, but after this employee’s behavior and handling of this situation, I really do not feel that he cares for his customers and whether his equipment works well. I am likely going to start going to QT now.

So recently I went to a circle k on 1st and limberlost and ive been going there for about a year never had a issue anyways so I walk in pay for my gas on debit and hand the employee (Starrr) my money and she didnt want it cause I was holding a nickel on my lips cause I had full hands not a problem till she told me to buy hand sanatizer and wipe off the money very insulting then tonight jan 11 I go back in and buy 2 sodas I accidentally bought 2 kindly asked for a refund and another employee gave me very bad attitude and kinda forcefully threw the money in my hand as I walked out she muttered stuff under her breath as my girlfriend was still in the store ! Long story short im asking that disciplinary action be took and if I come in the store I can shop with peace !

I counted my money three times before hand and i had 16. I went to pump my gas and it stopped at 12. I went back into the store to see what happened he said that i only gave him 12 he said he counted it 3 times and that it was only 12. I had to pool that money together so i knew how much i had and it was not 12. I got frustrated because i knew what i gave him.

Ive been going to the same circle k for 2 years straight and every worker has always been nice to me. Recently they hired a new worker that works the night shift who hasnt been very nice. He doesnt listen to my order every time i try and buy something through the window and every time my tia goes he never puts the top on the soda he doesnt even give her a straw he just hands it to her in the small box by the window. Thats not sanitary at all. He even got my orders worng to many times when the store opens at four AM it is not clean at all its just a mess. Its just a disgrace to have so many good workers doing their best and he just slacks off gives attitude and does nothing to help the store

I frequent the circle k I centerville ga. I have notice while in the store the manager is a bully. She has called her cashiers awful names not realizing that customers were in the store . And she has a rude attitude. Not only is the manager has a rude attitude I have noticed that a few cashiers are also rude. The atmosphere is unsettling. I can understand that dealing with the public is sometimes hard but that is what they do. So since I have encountered attitudes several time at this circle k store I decided I will not go back. I will also tell people not to use that store. If I have to feel insulted when I go in there I would rather spend my money elsewhere. My advice to this circle k in centerville ga. Is to change your attitudes and treat your customers better.

Went to the store @ approximately 2:15 pm on Broadway Ave East in Tampa, FL was served by cashier Alexis. I bought 2 diet 20 oz diet cokes at 2 for $2.79 & a 24 oz can of watermelon juice for $ .99 along with 5 -$1.00 lottery tickets and she charged me $12.98. I did not realize that I was overcharged until I got home. I've heard from friends this isn't this employees first time doing this. Please check into this.

On 1/6/17 at 1:20 pm. I walked into the lodi, ohio circle k and I got in line with the other patrons. And the woman behind the counter would rather flirt with the man in front then check anyone else . I just wanted to spend my hard earned money there. But that was to much to ask as she sarcastically apologize then continued flirting. I managed to just leave and I don't think ill return to any circle k. I'm so angry I've wrote this twice because computer froze

Dude behind the counter this morning, I think his name was shawn. Smelled like straight up [censored]! I was holding my breath it was that bad. I could smell him from across the counter (5' or so)

I even smelled the funk as I walked through the door. And you could smell it in the air in the entire store.

Hopefully this will fall on managements ears and you all can instruct this young fella how to put on deodorant. But I doubt that will happen.

I went to the circle k on edgewood this a. M to get a 79 cent drink and scratch the person in front of me was a young white girl who purchased a red bull and black n mild the cashier ryan did not I. D her at all then when i was next in line i asked for a scratch off and he asked for my I. D remind you the young white girl in line who looked way younger than me was not I. D and i asked him why he did not I. D her he said that she looked over 18 which was a lie. I come i this store everyday because I get a drink every day before work they know me there by name and to have him I. D me and not her when she was sold tobacco and all i wanted was scratch off is racists to me and ashley knows me very well due to every time I get scratch off she always wish me luck but today she acted as if she did not know me if you look at the cameras you will see I am always in thr getting 79 cent drink and sctracth off without a I. D

I frequently go to the same store in Phoenix. Yesturday one of the lovely women that woks there passed away in the store. I am appalled by the fact that you guys care more about making money than human kindness and made the store stay open and make the employees ( who were definitely distraught ) wor after, not only losing a dear coworker but being witness to it! Shame on you!

On Jan. 4, 2017, around 11:00 pm, I stopped on my way home from work at the Circle K located on the Corner of 36th St. and Oak. The only person working was kind enough to unlock the door so I could quickly make my purchase. When I asked her if she was okay, she explained to me that she was needing to use the ladies room now for the half hour, however because customers kept coming she couldn't. She had tears in her eyes when I asked her where a second person was, and she told me how she never has anyone with her at night.
Shame on you all! First off that is a pretty rough area, to leave a woman there late in the evening like that shows how little you care about your employees safety. Second for a human being to be expected to wait until whenever to use the restroom to the point of that person being in obvious pain for having to hold it for so long is deplorable.
If that poor young woman ends up with a UTI or worse a kidney infection because she has no one to relieve her for 5 minutes, you all best be prepared to pay her Dr. bill. It is a medical fact that woman should not hold off using the restroom especially not to that point as it will cause medical issues.
I will continue my business at that store, simply because the service I receive there is ALWAYS GREAT!
I will expect to see a change in staffing at night or I will be making my complaint go to the top, and I wont stop until it does. This is in no way meant to be a threat I assure you, this is a promise.
We do not live in a third world country, therefore you treating your employees like they are not important needs to stop. If not for the cashier you all would not be receiving a paycheck.
Think about that the next time your check hits the bank.

This is in reference to the circle k in lafayette, la. Located at 3003 kaliste saloom rd. I live in the apartment complex directly behind this store (Emberwood)... And for 10 years I have been getting my morning coffee there. (I'm a retired teacher and sub quite often and need my "jumpstart" on those mornings on the way to work) I am a daily customer, but no longer will be... Neither will my son, his wife, 4 neighbors (That I know of)... As long as this one particular cashier/clerk works there. I am so sorry I cannot give you her name, I don't know it... But I can tell you her description, and when she works... She is young (20's?) very petite, female, medium-complexion, african-american, always, always, always wearing a hoodie pulled down over her head (And partially her face). She works in the early morning hours and hasn't been there too, too long. I have documented 12 times... Yes, 12 times, that I have gone in there at very different hours (Purposely) to see if coffee is available... Very, very few times on her shift is the coffee ready or full... I have had to take it home, more than once, and microwave what remnants were in the pot! The last straw was last week, when I went in (Around 8 am) and saw 3 0f the 4 coffee "spouts" covered with "temporarily unavailable" signs... So I settled for a kind I really don't care for... And when I pulled the handle, exactly 4 drops came out!... So, as usual, once again, I said "no coffee, again?"... Her reply was "i'm very busy" (There were 2 people in the store)... I saw a man walk out in disgust, saying he'd never go back. Then... When I asked her when there would be some ready, she said "you'll just have to wait. Mam"... I could not believe my ears! I have never, ever been talked to like that! Then a couple days later, my son and his wife came over early and had stopped there to get coffee also (Unaware of my hassle)... They walked in my house, in disbelief and told me they just heard this same cashier "talkin" on her cell (Which is every time i've been in there) , using the most vulgar language in front of customers while checking them out... Here is part of the loud conversation:... "he's lyin'! He ain't never f****d me! If he thinks he's getting some of this p***y, he got another thing comin'... They walked out... No coffee that day either. Circle k is losing customers left and right because of this one girl. She is always in the back and takes forever to come to the register. You should have cameras and audio on her when it's her shift, so you can see for yourself!... Even the valero down the road says they have heard complaints almost daily when customers continually go there for their coffee. I am so very disappointed in circle k, and as long as she's there, will not go back

I purchased a carton of Marlboro red 100s in the box. When I opened them they we're stale. I looked at the packs and the plastic on the Marlboro was melted with holes. That was all the money I had.they asked me for a receipt but I didn't get one. I've been smoking Marlboro for 30 years never had this problem.

On the 1st of January my wife broke down outside your Golf Links and Pantano location in Tucson. She pushed the van into a space. She informed the staff what happened and told them I would be in on the 2nd. I spoke to a gentleman at about 7am on the second and told him I could not move it right away, but would get it but no later than today because I work nights. He said he would inform the manager. He did not.
I showed up today, as promised to tow the van only to find out it has been towed by a over priced vulture towing company and impounded.
So despite following through on what I said I would do, I now have to come up with an absurd amount of money to get back a van that doesn't even run and it's because of your company's unfriendly policies and lack of communication between store staff.

Circle K has already been falling in the eyes of most Tucsonans, especially with the arrival of QT. Your company, with this one incident, has ENSURED that I will go MILES out of my way just to avoid your business. I will also be telling every person I meet, for the rest of my days, just how horrible Circle K is and what other, better options are available in any given area.

I went into a store near downtown in Belmont nh on Rt 106. There was an older blond lady who's flirting made me feel uncomfortable especially when she mentioned something about my penis. When I walked in she was complaining about someone and usind the F word a lot. I will not be going back to that location as long as she still works there. My four year old nice was with me too.

The manager Dawnann Parsley was very rude . Told me that I wasn't allowed back in the store because I put hot chocolate into a different cup that wouldn't be so hot to carry. Does she have the right to tell me that circle k doesn't need my business anymore and to not come back in the store for such a petty reason ? I wasn't stealing or was rude towards her in anyway. I feel like someone like that doesn't deserve to have a position of a manager.

This is the second time your cashier has been downright rude and insulting regarding asking for an id to ourchase alcohol and making inappropriate jokes. I have no problem showing my id to buy alcohol but the rude jokes and attitude that go along with it are not ok. We live right doen the road and frequent your gas station but will no longer be purchasing anything at all from this location.

I was in this store a few days ago and an the cashier had a seizure and had to be rushed to the hospital. A few days later I heard the manager saying that if the cashier did not report back to work by the end of the week she was firing her. This manager is very rude to the customers as well as her cashiers. Do she not know that it is a lawsuit to threaten and fire an associate while out on medical leave.

The name on my receipt is "m, Allison". This is the lady who was "taking care" of me in ththe gas station. She was not helpful when I asked her about a gifcard. She said "yall are driving me crazy Im sick I wanna go smoke" she said "this is why teenagers shouldn't drive" she yelled at me when I went to the wrong pump. (She put it on the wrong pump) she was very rude and not helpful at all. She should be fired and I hope she reads this.
