Circle K

Remember that if you are having a problem with a manager you can take it to your market manager. Or ask for a transfer. Just because you are having issues with one store, doesnt mean it should reflect the whole company. I have been employed with circle K for three years. Next year I will have my own store when my store manager retires. Come work for me! I will treat you right! lol :) But there are always ways to resolve your problems. And some people should have never been promoted to management in the first place. Good luck. Im sorry your having these problems.

Take it to the local t.v. station. circle crack needs to be stopped! i dont work there due to a situation alot like urs. it was the best thing that ever happened to me tho. keep ur head up. i promise theres a better life after circle k. one u will appreciatemore after working for that bogus company!

"Clerks" at circle k obviously have a minimum wage job and completely understand scraping by pay check to pay check I mean If ur going to a gas station a few times a day for milk and various other items u r doing better than most bc most convenience store crap is over priced due to "the convenience" I understand its annoying; they have to ask they are grilled on a daily basis to ask, its a business if u don't ask u don't get. some people can and some people can't some people just pick out their pennies and put their pennies instead of the full change amount anything helps and if u feel humiliated that's ur own ego, not the question maybe u should make a change in ur life so u don't have to be humiliated for not having the change to donate to something...some people don't some people do man oh well

Having been the Customer Service Rep in this situation, I know exactly what you mean. It's awkward for the folks behind the counter as well.

Unfortunately for the employees, there's always something the manager/asst. manager/district manager wants you to be promoting as an extra sale at EVERY transaction, and if you don't try and sell whatever the current product is (whether it be a charity donation, on-sale Gatorade, etc) you get in trouble. Depending on the circumstances this could mean getting written up or suspended from work, which few Circle K employees can afford to risk.

I agree that this required extra sale is dumb and often inconsiderate, but the fault doesn't fall to the sales clerks. They're simply doing their job. The problem spawns from some decision made in upper management, but I don't think it'll be changing anytime soon.

P.S. I hope the clerks you've met (giving you reproachful looks) don't represent most Circle K employees. It's common knowledge that there are many times when people can't spare any change, and it's your money anyway - to do what you want to with it.

On May 19, 2008 I left a package at the Greyhound Valley Retriever in Newport OR. It left with Insurance to Indianapolis Indiana and arrived as I received two phone calls on this matter that it did arrive. My buyer filed complaint that it was not there. I went to where it was sent from and he called Indianapolis # from above information. He told me that the package was signed for and picked up.

When I called myself June 26, 08 to ask for a copy for my claim against me I was rudely cut off when I asked to talk to the manager. She claimed that the confirmation # did not exist with greyhound. Mr. Picot who did attempt to retrieve his package was told the first time the same story about the # as I had the copy and he only had the number I gave him. The second time he returned he was told the package was returned. It has never arrived. When I called it was back to the number was no good.

On July 2, 08 I called to talk to Tina Archer; Supervisor and again I was spoken to rudely by" Sylvia" as she took my number and hung up again without letting me talk to her...

I am at my ends with and if you cannot help in this matter please direct me where to complain and get my insurance money of 200.00. I will have to swallow the shipping costs but someone has that chair and with no questions asked I would like it returned ASAP.

I am almost certain that someone does know about this missing package there in Indianapolis and does not want to cope to it. I have requested assistance from paypal on this matter and do not plan to drop this till the chair is found.

Went on an awesome hunt with these guys. This lady should have stayed home in the kitchen where she obviously belongs. Perhaps a spa day with the $500.

If she did what you say, bring in the local news, show them your proof and also let the newspapers know. Word will spread, if you cannot prove what you day, then you could be sued by her. Proceed with caution grasshopper !

"Faye" keep up the good work!

Yes I had to quit in 3 days if training here in altamonte fl due to the fact they don’t terrain properly and are rude and unhappy people it’s sad.

My time spent as an Employee with Circle K left me with such a negative view of how people in a setting of retail and service can possibly treat others in such a rude and unprofessional manner. I had the most courteous clientele it was management that needed a crash course in Customer Service 101. I was hired into the managerial position to be trained by existing store manager. She somewhat felt threatened that I would take over her position which was not the case I would have been assigned my own after training. I was never trained in store procedures I had to wait two days to get a simple computer password, comments such as I already have an assistant dirty looks when coming into the store and being shown the POS. There was my manager training, humiliating, I left after a month after discriminating comments no training and a store manager that did not want to train any one else but herself. Ugh. Revamp your management program.

I am an employee of Store #4011 in Fairmont WV . I have been employed now a little over 3 months and On Dec 4 2015. I was starting my 3rd shift an had to walk into a store that was very much in disarray and unacceptable to start my shift because of health and various equipment hazards upon starting my shift my fellow employees did not make any concessions to the store and left me without notifying me of the potential dangers that existed.. I proceeded to call the general manager to state the condition of the store and say that I will not start my shift because of the problems that were present. I was told to remove myslelf from the store. I have given the company my best since arriving as an employee for Circle K. I am a dedicated worker and a very good customer service associate. I feel was treated unfair by the management and fellow employees and, I know that the Circle K Organization would feel that this is not what you want to be known as a employer/employee that neglects the needs and health of other staff.. Please look into this situation because this may cause serious injury to someone in the future. I have been terminated for trying to inform the proper chain-of -command.. I feel that the corporate offices need to look deep into this store #4011 because there are a lot of things that needs to be address immediately before the store gets an bad rep, for treating staff and customers improperly. I truly hope that this is address sooner than later, Its is a problem that could possibly hurt the Circle K Brand...
Thank You

just want to point out, having worked for circle k myself in the Denver area, he/she is not joking about the treatment of employees. management doesn't give a damn if you have a fever, are throwing up, just busted your leg, what have you, if you are employed by them, they expect you to be at work as long as you're still breathing. call ins are rejected, if you don't go in, you're fired on the spot the next day you can make it. not only that, but the over night crew more often than not gets the shaft, being expected to do 12 hours worth of work, in 8, and then being berated for it if your tasks aren't complete. also of note, if someone else is running your drawer, and it comes up short, you'll be held liable, as it's your drawer (i got around this with the fact that my drawer was only ever off when someone else was using it, but i've seen people fired for two bucks being lost as a result of too many people on a drawer, and only the person who's name was on the drawer was fired.)

My name is James I am a current circle k employee waiting to get fired... So this is what happened I make my 90 days have an outstanding review manger jumps ship. New manger comes in. Store comes up 11k short in product. Almost ameditly roomers spread that there plameing me for it.. So I look at schedule and my hours cut in half.. So I look at next weeks schedule and can't find it..? I latter that day found it hidden.. It shows that I'm off for almost 8 days..? So I think maybe it's just incomplete and go about my work. 2 days latter they kept me away from my assigned register most of the day with lots of dutys we're register was not visible. When was viable some one else was ringing on it. They finally have me close register at end of shift and it's 186$ dollars short. So I asume it's a mistake and not even thought 2 licks about it. 3 days latter they pull me into office and suspend me for 5 days..? The issue is the schedule never changed. I was scheduled for 8 days off befor the inca dent even happened... This leads me to believe Managment was in on it and ploted the whole thing. How could they know I was suspended befor anything even happened. Plus since I've been there I am lucky to have 1 day off a week. In addition they always have me on register because I'm fast, good at it, and don't get overwhelmed easily. So much so I never get to leve register to do chores. Ever now and then I'll get 2 min 2 power down a cig on a 8 to 10 hour shift with never a lunch break ever ever. And if you ask for one your told no then hazed and made fun of. There is just to many anomaly that lead me to believe new manger does not like me and is using me as an excape goat.

I spent 15 years In the Circle K system I went from a Sales clerk to a field rep. I did see some of what your talking about then. But when I got to a assistant and then store manager I was trained on harassment. I NEVER treated a co worker like that. If as a Assistant or Store manager or Field rep had heard of something like this and had proof It had happened HR would have not been called until after that Employee had been discharged. You have been harassed (If the statement above should be true) The Field rep should be called at once. No one can tell you you can't use the restroom. You should take the time off when needed. The only thing they can do Is ask for a doctors note. Yes your baby Is very important. I don't think Circle K would condone this at all.

Get a lawyer and sue them, individually as people and Circle K as a company. You will win.

YOUR BABY is what is important. Do not risk the health of your baby. Do nothing that will risk your pregnancy. You need to get a doctor... not to Circle K. Get a note written on a prescription pad, stamped and signed by the doctor... and take it with you when you go back to work at Circle K. And if they give you any trouble, be sure to take it with you when you go to your attorney's office.

This circle k is a not crazy but the manager were so crazy that they might had to taken to mental hospital n treat them with electric shock

@InnocuousPanda, I agree with all you said! Especially manager hours, I was off one half day one time, and i still had over 40 hours, but they docked my pay for the day i was off. It is amazing how much they expect to get out of you, yet if you get sick or anything else happens and sales start going down, they will not hesitate getting rid of you once they have gotten all they can out of you.
P.S. by the way, the EX-DM that got me terminated has been demoted to store manager again, LMAO, best news i have heard since i was termed, LOL

Circle K is an absolutely wretched company. It does nothing to investigate claims and allows shady stuff to go on all the time if the numbers are "good enough." One Market Manager has no idea how to do her job - essentially she sets unrealistic goals and gives no feedback on how to meet them. She gossips about people and tells managers assumptions she has made about their employees (assumptions that are not only irrelevant to the job but often completely erroneous). She will immediately accuse you of theft regardless of if there is any proof at all. She doesn't do any of the controls that are needed to make sure things are above board. There is blatantly unfair treatment that goes on and people become backstabbers just to cover their ###. She won't even do the basics of her job, something as simple as forwarding an e-mail so schematics can be correct unless called on it by a different division. She complains about stuff she has no idea about while the store has empty pegs for 4 different products because she ignored the 3 emails from the store asking her to please, please contact the product manager about the product being in a schematic but claiming to be delisted.

In addition is the fact that they show a okay hourly rate on the manager pay because they base it on 40 hours. However, managers are expected to work 53 hours and that is how they determine your actual wage. Take the MIT pay, multiply it by 53, and then give a 1-5% raise (but then divide by 40 so looks nice). So all these new managers are making almost the exact same hourly rate as they were when an MIT but with no OT now given. And of course if you have to cover shifts or work late your work week could become 70+ hours with no extra compensation but god forbid you fall below the 53.

I have talked to tons of former and current employees in various aspects of the company (SA, Manager, CSR, technicians) and I have literally only heard *one* person say anything positive about this company. There is zero oversight. One former manager use to be horrible and constantly tweaking his numbers and the MM was told repeatedly but she ignored it. Then he leaves the company and it is found his store is missing at least 10K in product. People have complained about the MM to higher ups and they do nothing because her husband was higher up in the company and protected her. She promotes an MIT to Manager who can't do 80% of his job because he doesn't know how and is incapable of learning. Instead she ignores it and tells other managers to "help him" and expect them to essentially carry a second store.

Yeah this is normal. It’s for safety reasons also if a bunch people use large bills you run out of change fast. It normal IS company policy. So even if they wanted to accept it they could get in trouble for doing so. Plus, the attendants make hardly any money and you should keep that in mind when you lodge these kinds of complaints against them. They are not getting paid enough to have to put up with petty grievances. All you have to do is keep in mind that almost NO gas station in the US will accept large bills, so just deposit it first or break it at a grocery store…for everyone’s sake!

No convenience store operator would in their right mind break a 50.00 or 100.00 bill (unless they only needed to give 20.00 or less back). I was a clerk, assistant store manager store manager and a zone manager never did i ever allow my team to break a large bill. This Is for 2 reasons 1. So they don't get robbed The second reason is counterfeit 50.00 and 100.00 bills. Even If It meant losing the customer. Store safety Is number one. All stores at the time had a atm machine in them . As soon as the neighborhood finds out you have that kind of cash on hand you can count on increasing your odds in getting robbed by 75%.

Cheese with your whine?! We are not banks! MOST gas stations are not allowed to take 100 dollar bills due to safety reasons..and especially when you come in only wanting to spend 2 dollars! Just go get change pay for your gas and move the hell on!

Store 5677 at 83rd and glendal . Rude never enough cashiers . Dont have reciept paper in the machines and instead they give us a different pump number reciept. WTF. Store is dirty. They have long lines and then when you dont know they have a line, they are so rude! I wont do business there EVER again and I will personal tell my friends not to go there.

"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 thgis 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...

I've worked as a clerk, or "cashier" for three years now; and although that may not be a lot of experience in the business-it's enough to know company policy. And it is one hundred percent fact that the second and third shift are absolutely-not allowed to break any bills larger than a fifty. In another note, I've also heard complaints about employees getting money out of the safe to put in their register; but yet are unwilling to do the same process to break the customers bill. Well wake up, the safe is their for the employees register and the employees register only; so when they are running low on change to give customers through out their shift. It is not their so they can get into it, just to give you change for a one hundred dollar bill.

Yeah depending on how late it was, Circle K employees are only supposed to keep a certain amount of money in the drawer, I assume your probably going in during their 2nd or 3rd shift, both are not allowed to keep the amount of cash you would need as change in their drawers at any given point.

how would you feel if you were only supposed to keep 75 dollars in your drawer at a time and had a timed safe. you would only be able to vend every 4 minutes, and then, you were only able to vend 20 at a time. that takes nearly 20 minutes.imagine that poor cashier with a line around the store all because you were too lazy to stop at a bank. that's what they are for.

LOL, this is either a joke, or one of the worlds most stupids. Gees, get a life. And if you want to make it interesting, tell your husband what happened, and take him down to the Circle K and point the guy out to him.
Hope you enjoyed the fun.

Blaming someone else for your own immorality is stupid. At least own up to what you did... which was cheat on your husband. It's no ones fault but your own!

What she said

My favorite (NOT) is the woman who hands you a crumpled bill soaked in her boob sweat...I'm like, ewww, carry a purse or put it in your pocket, not your bra!

and hmmm, maybe she throws your change at you because you threw it to her. my personal favorite is the wadded up money from some [censored] who wants it put on a gas pump that doesn't tell you which one and is out the door before you even ask.

i also have to deal with alot of ### that i shouldn't when i'm at work. for instance, just today, i had a guy come in and throw a 50 at me screaming because i couldn't see his license plate (i couldn't see his plate because i was cleaning up piss and ### in the mens bathroom because someone probably thought it was funny), i had to deal with rude and perverted customers comments, i had to deal with being treated like a bank(standing by the safe for 10 minutes waiting for the timer because someones daddy gave them a 100 and they didn't know how to walk in to a bank), and by the way, i am a manager and we too get sick of this. i had a guy the other day buy a lottery ticket. he said he forgot it on the counter and expected me to replace it. people, dont you realize that these are counted like money!? come on. i'm so sick of this.

Maybe YOU need to get a life..calling district managers/corp offices to whine..and regardless if you go thru those doors or not they are STILL running a business. I suggest that you go to a grocery store and U SCAN! Crybaby ?

yeah, maybe the pentagon? i also have to deal with alot of ### that i shouldn't when i'm at work. for instance, just today, i had a guy come in and throw a 50 at me screaming because i couldn't see his license plate (i couldn't see his plate because i was cleaning up piss and ### in the mens bathroom because someone probably thought it was funny), i had to deal with rude and perverted customers comments, i had to deal with being treated like a bank(standing by the safe for 10 minutes waiting for the timer because someones daddy gave them a 100 and they didn't know how to walk in to a bank), and by the way, i am a manager and we too get sick of this. i had a guy the other day buy a lottery ticket. he said he forgot it on the counter and expected me to replace it. people, dont you realize that these are counted like money!? come on. i'm so sick of this.

DID YOU CALL THE WHITE HOUSE ?

? Well take ur ### to another store and get your "chips" . Had to be a reason why you were banned..you probably was a complete jerk! Quit whining and go somewhere else! Would you like cheese with your whine? I bet you do..lol

ahh its all fun and folly :)

Stealth Pilot...I LOVE YOU! You are awesome. If I wasnt already married to the Hulk I would totally take you on. Your comments came right from my heart. Looks like I dont have to post anything here. You nailed the dumb ### right in the head!

Corporate needs to look into these complaints. Customers should be treated fairly and kindly. Great employees should be rewarded for great work. And bad employees no matter their title should be handled properly. Store managers should be examples for how their staff should be and act.
