Circle K
Reviews and Complaints

Unsilent Civilian, I have to agree and disagree with you, I'll explain. But ..F I R S T ! Mr fed up with circle K.. If you we're firey-mad @ what had happened to your daughter, You'd be typing like you're feeling, Words don't come together very well when you're THAT upset, or the guy might have a learning disabilites and that would make you J U S T like the employees giving bad Customer service You [censor]! Mr Unsilent, I disagree about the "college student assistant running the store" I worked for Circkle K and was the assistant Til I could get into the manager program.The Manager I had worked along side me till she was transfered, I ran the store alone for 4 months ( even prep for inventory)til the new manager came in... Well she didn't do ANY thing but sit in the office on her phone, Now, i'm in my 30's (been manager of places before)have kids even, SHe is 24yrs and using that title of hers... See I don't see my co-workers by age.. I see them as a person, cause i had no problem taking orders from her. I just would get things done before she told me to.cause I know my job. I also KNOW CUSTOMER SERVICE! Customer would only come on my shift and always awsking when I work.. I treat people the way I would want to be treated. ANd if you were a regular I knew your name and knew your purchases & have it ready for you. and Had sure to always have it ordered to be stocked for you... Now I had got sick and my husband had called me in sick 6hrs before my shift, I had to go to the E.R, well she told me to come in the next day @ 8 am Monday ( I was to be off 3 days) for a meeting, I walked in, she said I was administrative leave no pay come back thurday to see if I still had a job .Went in on Thursday, Was told I was fired, and she lied to unemployment saying that WE had a "Store" meeting and I left and didn't stay for my scheduled shift! YOU SEE, I care about the people that came in, not the numbers, but it's [censor]s like that make everyone think all circle k employees suck. P>S I'm still Looking for a job since she did that to me 6/17/2010 with a child with disabilities...

I think you need to go back to school and learn how to speak and write English. Maybe then you can work at Circle K with the other [censor]tards.

Mosst of these so called "managers" don't even run their own stores- it's their hard working college student assistant managers. Education does not matter to these people. They will take anyone who will put up with the harrassment and terrible treatment that comes from their superiors. Bobby Coplin, Marketting Manager of the Memphis area Circle K's- touched my daughter inappropriately. Before she could quit, she was fired by the same man over the phone. Her store manager did not want her fired. Secondly, her paycheck had over twelve hours deducted. Her store manager agreed she worked over 35 hours, yet all recordss of indication had been cleared by the corprate marketting manager. I cannot find any way to complain to this company directly, my wife and I have tried hiring a lawyer, but times are tough and the more time that passes; the less likely the chance of recovering the lost wages is more and more unlikely. However, to us this is about our daughter being touched by a pervert, who is so beloved by this crooked company that we cannot find anyone who will hear us out. We will have a lawyer if I have to declare bankrupcty. I want justice. This company is the worst company I have ever dealt with when needing to file a complaint. Store managers are instructed not to give out any numbers to help us with our cause. We'r not looking for money out of this, we are looking for justice. This cheating, harrassing pervert should face the consequences of his actions. I hope to God that this can be resolved with haste.

First, I would like to know if anyone has had any luck getting hold of any owners of these horrible places. Apparently they are [censored] and don't want to handle any of these issues. I have been absolutely mistreated more than 4 times now and have called the area manager corp office 5 times ,they will not call me.

Ok so I personally own 2 businesses here in Charlotte. I got into a very bad auto accident, my right leg was completely broken off at the hip area. I have a hard time walking sometimes . So I guess the employees think they can makeup rules as they wish. Anyways I think they really have some kind of power trip going because they always are so rude, even to crippled people. If they only knew that every time they are like that, I have at the moment enough money just in my checking account that I could most likely buy the damn store they work in. I would be willing to bet just one of the trucks I drive(paid for) is worth more than their place to live. So go figure. Anyways if anyone knows how to get their attention on this rudeness please tell. I will give it some time, otherwise I will be forced to take other remediation.

Thank you.

I WAS RACIALLY PROFILED AT CIRCLE K IN CARY NC. STORE LOCATION NUMBER 1032. NOW LETS GO BACK
A FEW MONTHS, I HAD APPLIED FOR A PART TIME JOB WITH THE STORE MANAGER MONTHS AGO. I HAVE A VERY
WELL PAID FULL TIME JOB BUT JUST WANTED TO WORK ON THE WEEKENDS. I WAS TOLD BY THE CIRCLE K MANAGER
I HAD FAILED THE ASSESSMENT TEST WHICH I KNOW I PASSED. I BUY COFFEE FROM THIS LOCATION ON A DAILY BASIS IN WHICH I HAD PURCHASED A COFFEE MUG IN WHICH ON YOUR 5 PURCHASE YOUR COFFEE IS FREE. ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY I GO PURCHASE MY COFFEE AND THE SAME MANAGER IS AT THE REGISTER. SHE TELLS ME SHE CAUGHT ME ON CAMERA STEALING A COFFEE MUG THE PREVIOUS DAY. I AM A MATURE AFRICAN AMERCIAN 55 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND DON'T STEAL ESPECIALLY A TWO DOLLAR COFFEE. OK SHE PROCEEDS TO HARASS ME AND THEN TOOK MY MONEY TO PAY FOR ANOTHER COFFEE MUG THEN TOLD ME TO NEVER EVER COME IN THE STORE AGAIN.
I WAS IN SHOCK! I LEFT WENT TO WORK AND THEN CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE . I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE THE INCIDENT, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM THEM. I JUST MOVED FROM NEW YORK TO CARY NC AND I WAS HORRIFIED AT HOW I WAS TREATED. THIS NEEDS TO STOP. NOT ONLY HAS IT AFFECTED MY WAY OF THINKING BUT I REALIZED I CANT ESCAPE THE WAY PEOPLE ARE TREATED BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF SKIN.

I completely agree with you and understand. I was accused of trying to steal something by a Black woman and my son, myself and my husband go in this very store approx 6-7 days a week for at least coffee and 4-6 days a week for cigarettes and gas. This store is located in Wilmington NC 3805 Carolina Beach Road. I was a VERY VERY loyal customer but no longer as she tried to humiliate me and shame me in front of other customers. I'm sad I will NEVER EVER AGAIN be able to enjoy the coffee there again but it's not worth it the way she treated me & I know she's racist against at least white people. I'm VERY OBVIOUSLY concerned by all of the other complaints about the way white people are treated by the black employees. If I treated black people the way I was treated this morning I know for a fact I would've been fired ASAP! I hope corporate looks into these complaints. Clearly so many people aren't making this up! It's a damn shame in 2017 that THIS STORE allows people to work for them and clearly have no problem with the treatment of their customers. I WAS a loyal customer. I will NEVER EVER AGAIN patronize Circle K stores again! Cherie Sestito Prude of Wilmington NC

I’m posting this comment because I don’t want to see happen to others what happened to me. On 10-7-15 I went on a long hike because it was nice outside before going to the gym. I the circle k store on 602 N 1rst Ave in central phoenix to make a debit card purchase. There is this short black women curly hair I believe her name is Davette who works there. I left my bag up front like you should and made my purchase. I forgot my bag so I went back to get it because I forget sometimes and that maybe due to my learning disabilities. The next morning I went into the store when she said hey you twice. I’m hearing impaired so I did not hear her. The third time I looked up and she snapped in a very loud voice you heard me GET OUT!. I asked why and she said don’t ask stupid you heard me GET OUT so and so saw you take something. I started to say I had a receipt for my purchase but she screamed GET OUT NOW! Other times I went into the store I would talk loud because I’m hearing impaired and that is what I do because I can’t hear too well and at times have to use sign language. It was clear she could not handle that, had an issue and had to find some way to get me out of there. On occasions also I when I saw homeless disabled people walk in and homeless disabled people in wheel chairs go in to pay for something she would walk over and tell them to leave because they smelled. These people clearly had no way of doing laundry because they we’re homeless and that is to be expected. They cannot help it. They wash clothes when they can. The way this women treated me and others is clearly a violation of the ADA and American Civil Liberties rights. This women has to be stopped or others may suffer.

I have been working at a circle k in arizona for 3 years now and its been a good job so far but man I think I'm going to go postal one day, lol. There always has to be idiot customers. I get tired of picking up after people, Im not your damn mother people! Spilling soda everywhere!?!?! Really, is this how you act at home. Then you always have your lovely meth heads asking if we sell the cigars in the "glass tube" No ###ers we don't sell crack pipes, so quit asking. Truth is we do sell those cigars in the glass pipes but I always hide them. LOL! For the most part I work 2pm-10pm alone! because we have bad management but thier is no use in complaning. It gets annoying when i can't even go to the damn restroom! And when the store is finally empty for a couple minutes i get to go, after i get out i usually hear someone yeling "hello, hello!" Im in the goddamn restroom for christ sake. Can't a girl go to the restroom in peace.

MARICHEENO, I ALSO WORK FOR CIRCLE K IN OHIO, WHAT CITY IS YOUR STORE IN JUST CURIOUS

I no longer care what you have to say. The cashier at the Circle K on the corner of Miller and McKellips in Scottsdale AZ is nothing but an ignorant ###. I have a nuero-muscular disability and cannot always lift or stretch out my arms to take things from the counter and have asked her toplace it forward on the counter and have tried to explain that I have a muscle disorder and I cannot reach out. All I got was a dirty nasty look and an attitude. She says, Ya, we all have problems don't we?

I've been working for the company now for almost 2 months and out of all the retail jobs I've ever worked for Circle K is a nightmare. Never in my life have I ever been treated with such disrespect in my life not only from the customers but half the time the other employees I work with as well. I must say thought, getting death threats from thugs and degenerates all day because you "carded" them or you had to card him and his buddies. I really can't wait to get shot in the face for 8.50 and hour. Not only that but working and 8 hour shift by yourself with NO BREAKS ever is really taxing on the body, especially when your the only one working that 8 hour shift. Working for 2 to 10 is prolly the scrariest because now one is there to help you if you get mugged or stabbed or shot, yet your expected to be the sheriff then the boss is away, it's crap and I don't understand why I always have to deal with this [censor] and not my manager who I see maybe once every two weeks.

What gets me the most is how I clean up after everyone, I pick up all the straw wrappers off the counter even though the trash can is 5 inchs away, I get to clean up split soda from all over the floor and my register counter. And here I am Thanking them for shopping with us.

Here's another thing. People buying junk food and soda with food stamps. I live in a [censor] part of Phoenix so it's good to see my tax dollars being very well spent on crap that could be spent on canned goods, milk...you know...food. Not hotdogs and chips and slim jims and donuts.

The breaking change for people is [censor]ing rediculous. Like everyone else, WHERE NOT A BANK!

Last but not least. Get those [censor]ing "ZapLink" machines out of our stores. They never take new bills...EVER! I constantly have to open my drawer (no sale) just to give them old bills. It's [censor]ing stupid, on the one hand the MM dont want us opening the registers all the time, but guess what everyone need new bills for that requires a open drawer "ZAPLINK!" Yay! the one thing that makes no money in the store is actually getting us canned one by one! w00t!

Circle K is not a safe or friendly environment to work in, it's dangerous and it's lonely and when you have cholos all tatted up and mob's of angry black people...oh and don't for get the crackhead hillybillies as well threatening to kill you or fight you for no reason other than to make them selfs look tough.

This job sucks. It's not worth your life and it certainly isn't worth 8.50 and hour to work 40 hours a week. I don't care how [censor] this economy is I will never work for this company ever again.

i wont do this either. i bet half of the gas stations around wont. we do get fired if too much moneys missing when we are robbed. i also have to deal with alot of [censor] 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 [censor] 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.

I have been employed at Circle K for a little under 2 years now. About 8 months ago I became victim to a short change artist. He got me for $150.00. Seems crazy. I never understood how people could just let money go like that until it happened to me. Our market manager wanted me fired but my boss stood up for me. The only thing that saved my job was the fact that the US Bank across the street from us was hit by the same man for another $300.00. However in order to please out MM I was to be wrote up for policy violations. 1) Having to much money in my drawer. 2) Following him outside and off camera once I realized what happened. and 3)FOR MAKING CHANGE!

So yes, I was nearly fired for being robbed. This is why I am hesitant of opening my drawer for every person that walks in, & this is why I don't do it. You shouldn't see it as a personal attack. It is for our own safety. Try going into another convenience store, or even a fast food restaurant... you will find the same policies among them all. While I do try to keep my cool with all of my customers I have gotten to the point with the irate ones who scream at me bloody murder over things I can not control... if you have such a low opinnion of the location you are talking about stop going. What good is it doing you to walk away angry every day?

Circle-K GM committed an EEOC violation when she made sexual harassing comment to me..When i contacted HR to report this she used this to find an excuse to fire me.Her claims were the duty list weren't completed .The GM was reported to district manager who was supposed to look into these matters yet she is still working at the store. Circle-K is use to lawsuits and they shure deserve another one for this.The case was filed in federal EEOC building and a case number was issued. Dont think they will get away with this when a federal case begins to require compliance and accountability So it looks like the GM retaliated after it was filed with the company their gonna be held accountable for violations of federal laws.

RESOLVED! Thats a big lie. Circle K abuse,.don't pay employees ie CSRs. They need to be boycotted, so.deserve to go bankrupt. Violate fire ordinance, labor laws, fraud.

Your complaint does not even indicate what city is this cirvle k in!

I agree totally. az circle k cheat hard working honest rmployees out of pay, no breaks, liars. they so d3servecto go bankrupt@ do not work at a circle k!

Do not make this candandian owned pos abusive company even more whealthy!

Very poor and unprofessional company to work for. Worked 11-12 hours with no relief and no help. No breaks to eat and I was lucky to get the restroom once on a day like that. Since day one I was left alone on the job when training was supposed to be going on. They throw people in there without proper training. We were told by Denice Hendrix at store location hwy 28 east in Pineville,la that we would get the proper training and tried to have Allison train us well when Allison didn't have enough time to run her store and denices old store Denice said she would come train us on Wednesday and that never happen either. Stealing is going on in that location. Money being borrowed to cover storage at another location. That's all lies and it's not right doing this. Managers eating stuff n not paying,it's stealing! Store will always have shortage like this and will not get right as long as this things continue so therefor I asked for transfer and was told none is [censored]ING transferring, so I did as I said and I left. Sad because I busted my [censored] and learned a lot on my own and was wamtednto make it a better store. so now I see why they can't keep workers. It's a horrible atmosphere to work in.

Why are none of the complaints , when circle K says resolved not posted the actual resolution ? Canada and circle K in Fayetteville Nc is on its [censored]ing way out . Garbage management, haulted all new stores , sorry employees. Welcome Sheetz!

I work for circle k in ohio and since i started there i have been harassed by another employee constantly and recently she got in my face with her fists doubled up at me. An assistant manager was standing there and did nothing. The store manager has known about the problem with her and has done nothing to fix it. I know of 5 people who have quit because of this employee.

Very true. Samantha needs to go.

Circle K on Benett Dr. in Caribou, ME has low morale because of the manager Samantha. She is rude and bullies her employees and if she doesn't like them she will do things to irritate them on purpose. One of the new male employees she really took a liking to and is letting him live in the camper in her driveway and work whichever hours he would like while the other employees suffer and fill in what's left. She is making a very hostile work environment for the day employees while the evening and night employees don't do anything in the store while working. It is very tense to shop at this store because of her attitude towards the public and the employees. She is definitely not management material and should be replaced by a more professional person.

I was in your xenia, ohio location 12/04/23 around 10:30 and one of your employees(don't know his name) started cursing at one of your customers. This is not the first time this same guy has started things with customers. He needs to lose his job at this point or people will go elsewhere.

So I'm employed at a circle K in Georgia, and while it's been good so far, I had to call in sick today, the first time I've had to, ever, and was told by my manager that I was getting written up because it was not given three weeks in advance. My issue is that I can't predict when I'll be sick, so I feel this write up is unjustified.

11/9/23 purchased 100oz cup for $20 bought the sip and save. Charged each time for refill and different prices as well.Women was very rude I will not be back to this location.

At the store 2720294. Kimberly riddle and Christopher Conway are married. Kimberly is on medication that is not proscribed to her. Both of them for rude as hell

Women's bathroom was so disgusting there was even blood all over the place. Covering the big stall toilet & even dried on the wall. Trash was everywhere torn toilet paper bits scattered all over the floor

Circle K 2701394 Order Number 640245 9/14/23 4:14 pm Credit 4.07 per gal Cash 3.97 per gal

We filled up under the Inner Circle program. We used our debit card which is the same as cash. We were charged for gas under the credit price 3.82 per gal. We don't have a credit card. We should have been charged 3.72 per gal under the debit card.

Every night I stop same circle k on market st after hours walk up window ask for polar pop they tell me it's down for cleaning I feel they just don't want to go over and make it for me it also takes them forever come me out of bac room after I ring bell for service it good 15 minutes mostly

I spent 20 minutes in the blazing heat on my mobility scooter. I am a disabled Veteran. This is unacceptable, it's 2023 and Ohio Disabilities can levy a $10,000 fine without compliance. I would like this remedied asap. If you test me you will lose.

Your freezy drink machines (2 of them ) seem to be shut down or inoperable more often than they are working. Why? Piss Poor management that's why. Get someone in that store that gives a crap or you will lose more revenue than you will ever know. Horrible management. The younger clerks do their best and are very courteous and are not at fault!

I went over to grab a soda... Power and Recker. I'm used to your fountain drinks being down, so no big deal. Now you have a sign out front that says your entire organization is down. Ahhh, I'm speechless.

What is that?
