Circle K panhandling/ being harassed

I try to stop at this store twice A-day once in the morning once in the evening. Every single time anyone stops there they are bombarded by panhandlers begging for money they will even follow you into the store asking you for money. something really needs to be done as dar as security or managing the store a little better. the clerk or clerks that are all working do not force them to leave. I have heard numerous people say they will not go back to this particular store which is on Manhattan boulevard and West bank expressway in Harvey, Louisiana. I am about at that point myself as for is not returning. Considering the money you guys are losing by customers refusing to go there you could easily pay management to control the situation it is completely out of hand.

I come to this circle k everday. Sometimes 2/3 times a day. Every evening the ladies working will not change the diet coke because "it is too heavy" and they are both apparently on weight restrictions. If someone is limited they need to have a staff member on site that is not. So your gas station is losing out on polar pop sales because they refuse to...

Circle K no bathroom.

I stopped at store # 2722106 in Orlando, Florida. I stopped to get food, gas, and drinks . I was told that both bathrooms are out of order. Neither bathroom had an out of order sign on it. Since i could not wash my hands I could not pump gas or eat. If a reatail location that serves food does not provide a bathroom it is a code violation and I will be reporting this location today.

I enter Circle K for my daily two beer quench. As usual, the immovable price on the shelf in front of the cans of Heineken says "2 for $5.00". I get to the register and as usual, they ring up 2 for $5.50, plus tax. I point this out and the kid keeps on insisting I cant count . I take him back to the shelf and he says the beer is in the wrong spot. I remind...

Circle K poor customer service

I visit a Circle K store around 2-3 times every single day and today was the first time that I have been disappointed enough to submit a complaint. I went in to store #2703398 at 8:58pm to grab a Sweet Tea that your stores typically have brewed throughout the day. I went to get mine and the sweet tea container was empty. I go up to the register to let the employees know and received a hands up, shoulder shrug from a gentleman by the name of Morgan that they were out. I asked them if they could then make more because it doesn't take long to make and I would be fine waiting for it because it's my favorite. He says, no, we're out. Ok, no biggie, it's not the first time and I am perfectly capable of adding sugar to your regular tea in order to make my own sweet tea and then found that even that one was empty. It was already annoying that instead of Morgan apologizing for not having sweet tea available or trying to offer an alternative, when I told him that both black teas were out he just left the empty containers on the counter because he was too busy talking with the other employee that was working with him. I usually have a great experience at all of your stores and this was such a silly thing for him to be so complacent about. He should be taught how to deal with replenishing items or at least taking containers off the counters so customers don't think there is something available that isn't.

Circle K poor management

Hello, this is my 2nd time coming to the circle k in north charleston 5302 rivers avenue. Store #3691 i believe.
This incident was two days ago on the 8th around 12:30. there was a older Caucasian big guy at the register and i was in a VERY LONG LINE that led to the BACK of the store.( no exaggeration) there was a manager in a black shirt caucasian lady with blonde curly hair.. She was counting ciggarettes. Why wasnt she assisting in getting the customers taken care of? Poor management! After waiting about 20 mins, i was served and left. Today which is the 10th. Same deal...a long line! One young blonde Caucasian male was on the register while the same manager and another african american employee was outside right by the door smoking cigarettes! Unacceptable! Customers in line with me saw this and was complaining along with the guy at the register. This makes me NOT want to come back to this store even tho gas is cheap here. Very poor customer service. I will not be returning. The picture isnt the best. But they are outside while there is a very long line.

Circle K employee

The store on beltline and pioneer pkwy grand prairie. Saw one of your employees standing by the car wash smoking marijuana (it was definitely marijuana) she had her uniform on and name tag said Arianna and heard her reply to a conversation on her phone saying her manager knew she smoked and that her manager smoked too. So so unprofessional and not to mention against the law...will not return to that store ever again.

Circle K soda machine

What is up with the all in one soda machine? I stop weekly at the 15720 San Pedro location in San Antonio TX because they still have the single all in one soda machine, and therefore Vanilla creme soda. But not today! Both said unavailable. Is it discontinued or just out?

Also, if it's just out, what other locations have vanilla creme soda? If it's discontinued I might as well go back to 7-11 that's more convenient.

Circle K rude and discourteous employee

I was in line to make purchase. The guy at the register was having issues and the line was backed out of the door. I asked one of the two clerks "stocking shelves" if she could open another register and she told me "no, she was doing HER job". Then when I asked again she got loud and very nasty. I turned and walked out of the store.

I have never had a store clerk act that way when asked for help. I believe a manager was there and acted like nothing was going on. It seems stocking the shelves is more important than customer service in your business.

After this terrible bashing I received at your Surf Side Beach SC location, I have cancelled my fleet account with BP, I have 17 vehicles in my business and I will forbid my employees (while on the clock) to use your stores.

Why don't you all leave me alone and stop harassing me. You are all special. They should have helped me. I was so angry at them that when my mother and I had an argument I beat her so badly that she broke her hip and ribs. This is how angry I was. Now my mother is thinking of pressing charges against me. You all need to eat poop and go back to facebook. Because I was angry at them I hurt my mother so badly. She also took their side. I beat her up. She wants to press charges. She is bruised all over thanks to them.

No matter what everyone says. I also think that both posting as George are the same person. They have a history of posting a complaint. Then creating a second similar account which looks like the same name. They have a pattern. They claim that they abused their kids(or in this case mother) because they were angry. They accuse people who tell them off of "working for the company" They make updates on the review calling other names. Then they claim that they only made ONE post. Besides George Chetty lied when he said that buildere works for the company. If he had half a brain, he would know that buildere has been on this site for a while and DOES NOT WORK FOR THE COMPANY. He is really immature to think that just because someone tells him that he s wrong he works for the company. He needs to grow up and stop acting like a child. I do not know why he is behaving this way? Maybe his parents raised him wrong? Maybe he is just an immature childish brat. But you have to admit whether George wrote those replies or not he is acting like a cranky toddler that did not get his afternoon nap. While the posts on the reply section may not be from him. He lied when he claimed that his replies to Buildere(the one where it says update) were not from him. I do not believe he is telling the truth. I also believe that he created the second fake account. I don't know if Omeomya is part of this. I doubt it. I think he or she is just nieve. But if you notice, as someone else stated. Both have the same words misspelled. Both are telling Buildere to eat poop. Basically, the spelling, grammar and insults are the same.

Circle K beth at the calvary road store (1471) in willis texas

Me and my spouse went into the store and got 2 drinks. We stood is Beth's lane to check out, as we went up there she proceeds to look my boyfriend in the face which he is half Mexican, and say "happy cinco de Mayo day" she didn't say that to the last 3 customers and 2 of them were Mexican. That was very offensive. Very rude I will NOT be returning to any of the stores. This happened Sunday May 5, 2019 at 5:32.

Circle K employee misconduct

Hello, I visited the circle K listed below on May 1st around 3:00 PM, and had a very unpleasant experience with the employee, Sandy.
Kangaroo Express at 320 N. State Rd. 415 Osteen, FL 32764. My receipt says Circle K 2806. Store phone number (407) 322-9934.

I went into the store and there was only Sandy working at the time, there was a line of 6 people waiting to check out because she was taking her time flirting with a customer that had already received his change and was just standing there talking to her. Then I spoke up and said calmly "can we move it along please" she then started to check other customers out, once it was my turn I asked to buy a pack of cigarettes she laughed at me and said "your going to hate me but I just cant sell you anything" I asked why she said because the person that tried to buy those particular cigarettes before me didnt have an ID and she thinks I'm buying them for that person. I told her I dont know what your talking about would you like to see my ID. She continued to be rude and laugh at me and say "sorry nothing I can do for you" I asked if I could speak to her manager, she said there was no manager there but she will call them for me if I wanted. All this while there is now 10 people waiting in line behind me. It was very embarrassing, and it seemed as if she was trying to be spiteful towards me because I made the comment to please move a long.

I am 29 years old, I can provide a copy of my identification if needed. There was no reason for her to treat me that way. I have been in that particular store many times before where I have personally NOT been asked for my ID from her, which shows she probably doesn't ask everyone else all the time either, which is another problem.
I would like to point out that this employee, Sandy, is very young, probably 18 years old and is just very inexperienced, she either needs to be re-trained, given a pay reduction, or fired. The female manager that works there is see often is always working hard, is very friendly and helpful to her customers and she deserves a raise. I dont know the managers name, but Sandy is rude and should seek employment not in customer service.

I am a loyal customer who is in there 2-3 times a day sometimes to get coffee cigarettes and sometimes beer.

Circle K restroom

Store 1571. The restrooms are disgusting! All 3 of them. The ladies restroom had toilet paper all over the toilet seat & in the floor. A couple of other ladies also refused to use that one which caused a line. My husband wouldn't even use the men's & that says a lot! When I asked the cashier what the store number was, she was rude! I tried to resolve it using the sign on the wall, but apparently I didn't enter the correct number?

I am complaining about the management of this store location. The manager who is always on duty constantly is on her phone or sitting outside in her car smoking. The customer service is terrible. She texts or is on the phone before she helps the customers. The cigarette smell is horrific. Constantly smells like a smoke factory. This store will never get my service again.

Circle K employee

Hello would like to strongly address one of your night Employee at your location in San Antonio, Texas. 6003 Dezavala Road. As I was trying to cash in on my Scratch Tickets the cashier asked me how much on the ticket's? I replied can you scan them and tell me. He then said with a Smart [censored] remark. Well don't you know. I looked and him and replied it is your Job to scan them, he then said Of Course, you didn't even scratch off the barcode. Figures. I need to know so I can make sure I have enough money in my Drawer to cash out. Cause people come in here and expect 200.00 payouts. So we need to ask. It's a simple question that deserves a simple answer. As a customer I expect good service and respect when going into a convenient store. I understand that these Employee's only make minimum wage, but its not the customer's fault. They are in a [censored]ty mood or none the less bad one. I have never encountered this type of service. And was upset that I was treated this way! If Circle K is going to hire these type of individuals they need to have or make sure they can offer good customer service. Patience, Attentiveness, Smile, Greet, Empathy anything other than the Service I experienced. I just hope that this employee learns his lesson. Cause I know if the CEO was me in my shoes... I would of FIRED him on the spot!

Circle K gas purchase

On March 30th, 2019, I purchased gas at the Circle K store that is located at the Gunn Highway, and The Plantation intersection. I always buy gas here, it is easy access and on my way to work. I filled my tank about 7 AM ET, and then drove to my workplace at 3550 Buschwood Park Drive, my car sat in the parking lot for the day, and when I came out of the building to go home, I started my car and it quit immediately. I tried several more starts, and it continued to quit. I had the car towed to Bill Currie Ford on Friday 3/30/19, and after 2 days of running diagnostics, on Tuesday 4/2/19, the service manager called me and determined that the gas I had in the tank was contaminated, they had poured it into a bucket and tried to ignite it and it wouldn't burn. I want someone to contact me regarding this, I have called the number that was listed on my credit card statement to contact to try to resolve the issue, and no one has called me in return. I left several messages and talked to several phone representatives, and left messages for Paula in the Corporate office.

The contaminated gas caused me to be without my vehicle 5 days, and caused damage to my vehicle that needed to be repaired. I would like to have the repair costs, towing costs and cost of the gas that I was not able to use reimbursed to me.
Total = $1009.84 (Repairs 944.53 + gas that they dumped out 3$35.31 + Towing $30.00).

Respectfully,
