Circle K - gross and unexceptable treatment of employees

I am an employee at circle k and would just like to issue this complaint. I am not sure of the exact laws as of this moment, but I know that the way I was treated / am being treated has to be illegal in some way. I woke up yesterday morning feeling terrible. I vomited three times in the thirty minutes I was getting ready for work. I am pregnant, and just...

Circle K rude employee

I have complained to the local corporate office about an employee named april who exemplifies everything that can be wrong with a cashier. Unfortunately they have failed to do anything about it, so I am posting this with her name in it.
I have waited in line at her cash register behind four people only to have her place a closed sign on the counter and tell me she is on break. She has twice set my gas on the wrong pump, although I am surprised it has only happened twice considering she is usually talking to either a coworker or a customer hanging around her register when she waits on me. She has stopped in the middle of my transaction to take a bite of her lunch before; not sure what the employee handbook says about that. And after an especially long wait in line one day when I assumed she was not there (Only cashier working was struggling with some kind of machine) I walked out to my car parked by the air pump to find her sitting on a milk crate text messaging. I thought of saying something, but she gave me a dirty look for just glancing at her. I would stop shopping at this location, but the other employees are very nice. I just cannot believe that someone can keep a job by treating customers this way.

That girl is rude, and as for no breaks, they get a lot of breaks- on the clock breaks that they are paid for. so shut up. you are ignorant. if you get bored again, talk to yourself in the mirror, because no one wants to hear it.

well, considering they work 9 plus hr shifts with no bathroom breaks let alone a lunch break, i'm sure she isn't the only one who will be trying to eat while waiting on over-bearing, self-rightious, ignorant customers like you. you probably told her the wrong pump number. people need to get a life and a brain. look at your pump number before you come in.

Circle K overcharging debit card

We made a purchase in the store in the amount of $10.53. An extra charge for $70.00 showed up on my debit card statement. Another time, there was a $70.00 charge on my statement and we hadn't even been in the store. We are 6 days into trying to resolve this matter. There is no customer service number posted in the store. Emails and phone calls do not get any response. This is a terrible company to work with in trying to get a problem resolved. I would also suggest never swiping a debit card here.

Circle K rude employees / management

I used to go to this store on a daily basis for my beer and cigarettes, but not any more.

This store recently recieved a new manager (Not sure why) , and the faces behind the counter started changing right after that. One of the 'new' faces, violet, is totally rude. She never greets anyone when they walk in the door, never tells you what your total is, and then just shoves your change at you. I have called the manager (Dolly) and seen no change, except that they now have other 'new' faces in the store as well.

I have tried calling the 'district manager', and the 'customer hotline' number posted in the window, but it seems that it falls on deaf ears again.

I guess if I can encourage enough people to stop shopping there, maybe they will get the message.

So please do not shop at 43rd and maryland circle k. Or for that matter, any circle k store.

Circle K management/poor employee treatment

My local Circle K this week has come under new management. I do not think I will frequent this business any longer.

The employees there are exceptional. They know your name, what you want or need and are always asking how you are.

Yesterday I was going into the store and the new manager was outside speaking on her phone. It was loud enough that I heard her accusing the employees of theft and saying how she was going to clean up house basically.

I don't know about the theft because I don't work there. I do know that the employees always seem honest. I know one day an older couple had left 40 dollars on the counter and the two employees were able to track them by an atm withdrawal from their bank and got them their money back. To me this is honesty and beyond the scope of their job.

This is also one of the cleanest circle k's i have been too. Yes it can get messy, but they are quit busy at times.

anyhow that is my complaint.

Management you should appreciate these employees they are good people and hard workers.

Circle K sexual harrasment

Bobby coplan (Copeland, coplin) is a grown man who works as a marketing management for the circle k's in the area surrounding memphis. He is a pervert. The man is married yet he threatens employees with their jobs for sexual favors. During economic times, this man has a long leash from circle k's upper management. There are no places I found to contact any type of boss of this man. I will be writing the commercial appeal, I have called drake and zeke from 98.1 yet they cannot use his name. The man's wife should know what a cheating low down pos she is married to and the fact that he has two sons only makes it more disgusting. I hope this man gets what is coming to him.

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.

Circle K treated poorly

I feel as if I were treated poorly due to the fact I used an ebt card, I paid for my items and then wanted to heat them, the ebt rules clearly state that you may not buy hot or premade food. However you can buy then heat the product. I was refused when I ask to use the microwave, a comment was made to imply I was lazy and did not work; he said: I could talk to a manager but I wouldn't be up that early. My boyfriend and I both work full time, I am very upset by this, my boyfriend comes in every, morning before he goes to work to buy his lunch, gas. And tobaco products. I am sorry to say we will no longer be using your store unless something I done about the way we were treated. Thankyou for your time

We're a customer of "all" Circle K's. But, today we went to the Circle K, in Snowflake Az, 110 S Main St and was very disappointed the Caffeine Free Diet Coke was discontinued. In place of it, was Coke Zero, yuk! We visit this store for a soda, at least 2 times daily. Getting Diet Coke, Caffeine Free Diet Coke and other items. Now, we will take our services down the street to Maverick. It's really sad, when your company can't make the customers happy!

@ mrsvladredd you do relies that what you said was ignorant and without any research whats so ever right? It is in no way a violation to purchase food from circle k and then heat it in the microwave, and it is where circle k makes allot of its money. There are alot of people on food stamps due to the fact there jobs don't pay nearly enough, its next to impossible to find better or new work, and there bills are too high. They have jobs and yet still cant make enough to feed there families. its hard having a college education and mcdonallds not even wanting you as an employee. So shut your god damn ignorant ###ing mouth, and use your god damn brain.

Are you the same person that [censor]ed about KFC not taking food stamps? HELLOOO if you are ignorant enough to get food stamps, I would hope you are smart enough to know how to use them! Companies like Circle K hold licenses to accept food stamps. They are held under rules and regulations on what is and is not acceptable. You can buy prepared PACKAGED (COLD) food. You cannot heat the item up inside the store... OMG You are so hilarious! OK Now lets switch companies, just for kicks and giggles. I dare you to go to McDonald's and order a frozen big mac...use your food stamp card and ask them to heat it up...Duh! It wont work there and it wont work at circle k. Better yet go to the piggly wiggly and buy a ### load of food pay with your food stamp card and ask them to cook it for you lmao! 20 bucks says your black!- yes i went there!

I am an assistant manager of a Circle K and I have never heard of anyone in my store doing this to a customer... who cares how you are paying for the product, it's a product sold and the microwave is provided for that reason. Not all manager's are bad manager's... trust me I have had both good and bad, usually the bad ones don't last long. I am sorry you had to deal with that hun, I would never allowed that type of poor customer service to have happened in my store! The thing that sucks is we (the employees) all have bosses that are on our butts about everything. we have guidelines we have to follow (carding for all restricted sales and denying sales, etc.) listening to complaints about prices, being hit on by all kinds of people, yes we are open 24/7, not given lunch breaks, so we eat when there are no customers at the counter, we smoke or take breaks when we can and that's not none to often, and we have to deal with all types of customers... It takes one hell of a person to work in customer service and even the good ones have bad days!

Circle K employee tratment

I have worked for circle k in machias me for almost a year. Last night I quit. I have some medical issues that were explained to the manager in previous months. I was working the store alone and needed to be covered for about a half an hour, but do you think that I could get ahold of the manager or assistant manager to help me? No way, the assistant manager was in charge for the week so that the manager could go to meetings out of town, and he might as well as told us all to go to hell before he left the store because he dont answer his phone. I stood there behind the couter for 2 hours in a condition that no woman would ever want to endure. So when I finally got ahold of the manager I told her that she nedded to get someone there asap because I was done. 10 minutes later the assistant manager showed up.

Also, I have had a stalker since before thanksgiving and had asked to not have to work alone in fear for my safety, my manager agreed for about a week then started to make me work alone again. Where is the protection for the employee's? I feared that if I went to the police that the situation would esculate, I mean the guy had already followed me home and came to my door, thankfully I do not live alone.

I think that circle k should be closed down, there are so many things that are done illegally and half assed. Where is the health department?

I worked at circle k. And kept getting sent home. Why I was told there way complaints about me from corporate as well as customers. I worked that day the assistant manager sent me home 1 hr I was suppose to get off work. For one I take a vitimain after eating so there is is my drug.as far as taking anything else no! I stand at register for 6 hrs. Would u not get tired and just need to walk awY from it? Maybe that's why I was tired. The assistant manager has let her postipn go to her head.she seem I had a customer in front of me buying cigarettes and beer. She ask me if I carded him. Yes I did he was 30. After that I ask him if he can hold on a min incase she deaided to show her butt again. That's when she accused me of being under the influence of drugs. Clocked me out sent me home. I asked them to drug test me to prove it.nope. Circle k in Foley is the place u don't want to work at

Fake winning gratulations which claim to be addressed from Hyundai Motor UK Ltd...

Please check!

There is a Mail which sent in the name of Hyundai Motor UK Ltd and requests personal information in order to hand out a winning of 850 000 pounds which are supposed to stem from Hyundai Motor UK Ltd?

Hope Hyundai Motor UK Ltd are sure that they want to give that much money away for nothing.

Please, Hyundai Motor UK Ltd, have a look at this!

I agree^^ Circle K is so twisted here in Louisiana. Not to say This District Mangaer has all of here relatives working under her & they get away with murder & the none- related get worked like dogs for little pay.My Bf is going throught the same thing & he's been missing most of his dr. app for that place and it's sad. Now they really need to look into it, because last time I checked working off the clock is illegal & needs to be dealt with. Can't go over her head to her boss. Why? They are good friends & he'll just tell her to make it go away. That's just a taste of what they are doing. Baton Rouge, Louisiana Circle K is very corrupt. Store-managers setting up robbers & still working for them...I would like to see them in jail.

I agree completely, in Memphis the Marketting Manager harrasses employees and will take a female into the restroom. Bobby Coplin cheats on his wife with employees by threatening to fire them. Employees of Circle K may have a hard time finding a lawyer, as the income from such a job is mininum. I will spread the word this man is a cheating, harrasser of women and is in a position of power and should be removed and put in prison for his low down ways! Many stores should be shut down because of low down management which this company hires. Even more so Bobby Coplin should be placed in prison or should have to talk to the father of the girls he harrasses. Beyond that, his wife should know his cheating ways and understand she is not confused. He is a cheater and a molester of employees!

i also work at circle k.the store is always busy and they go by hours they aloud to use. in my opinion and my valued customers opinions need more help and if not then its suppose to be the managers responsibilty to help. we get none of that we get work harder or i am not a babysitter do your job. my manager passed away last year and ever since we have lost alot of ppl. the company has got numorous calls on this and all the company will do is give them free gas or pop for a week. we want a team leader. we just feel very unappreciated and we are there because we need a job and love the customers. we cant take our vacations when we want to or take breaks when we need to and it really is a very poor situation for a big company as they are. the employees work their butts off and they just take care of the managers who do nothing. circle k in lawrenceburg indiana

Circle K rude, demanding, apathetic, entitled customers

Put yourself in the cashier's shoes. People seem to want understanding and compassion from an employee, but do YOU have that towards the employees? Most cashiers are overworked and underpaid and deal with hoards of rude, demanding, entitled, apathetic customers; not to mention having to deal with underage sales issues, thieves, money and gas pump problems and the list goes on. Everything is autonomy and big business today. Stop blaming and black-balling cashiers. We have to deal with the realities of the big nasty corporate world, our employers, ourselves...I bend over backwards to be attentive and responsive to customers and they still find ways to ### or complain about something because they don't understand tthe environment I work in.

I hear ya. I work at a circle k right now, and I try my best, but it can be pretty hard when it gets busy and people are impatient with you. but i cant complain, just keep smiling and apologizing. its not like many other places are looking to hire a 19 yr old highschool dropout with family issues... well, except for strip clubs, but i still have /some/ dignity left. I say just do your job well and no one can get mad at you. 7.50/hr is better than nothing.

I understand your situation. Many college sstudents have to take tough jobs. Beyond customers not cutting employees a break, in Memphis the marketing manager Bobby Coplin tries to get employees to perform sexual favors. This man is a pervert and should face the consequences. He is married, but clearly has no morality- he is [censor]. I've called local radio stations and will be sending in an article to our local paper. Customers expect things to be instant at Circle K, most of the time the employees are moved store to store- but unfortunately for Memphis employees the marketing manager Bobby Coplin supervises many stores.

I worked at a gas station in college for four years- a busy BP station. I know what it is like to work there and deal with mean customers- but I was nice to people. I tried hard to just get them what they wanted quickly and get them out the door. I expect people working in stores now to treat me with the respect I gave to my customers. I am all for sticking up for the employees- but only when they are representing a good part of the workforce. I'm sure you are a diligent cashier- but you know you've worked with people who are not good with customers. They don't last too long, from what I remember, and it's not hard tell the difference between a good cashier with rude customers and an ignorant, lazy cashier who treats the regulars like crap.

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...

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.

Circle K - rude and racists employees

Cirlce K needs to give extreme and agressive training in customer service. Circle K's emplyees are on a power trip and think they can treat people anyway they please. They make racists remarks and make up policies as they go. I asked for change for $5.00 to use in a "machine in their store" the cashier stated I dont have any ones. So I put a bag of 99 cent...

silent... perhaps the store you are speaking of is owned by someone other than mine. My company is actually owned by Couche-tard & we are part of circle k midwest. I know for us and all the stores in our market we have to have the sticker displayed. I really don't have anything else for you, I'm sorry.

Mari, why are these stickers so difficult to find. If you type in Circle K complaint on google, it brings up applications. My daughter was harrassed by the Marketting Manager in the Memphis area mr Bobby Copelin, I hope I can find his number, or someone who will do something about this harrasment. My daughter was so happy to get the job, she is a young, beautiful, intelligent college student, whome after the first month enjoyed the company, yet the first time the marketting manager made his way into her store of employment, she was touched. He asked her if she wanted to lose and her job and thank God for her pride; she is currently unemployeed. Suddenly her hours were changed from 35+ to under twenty hours. My family disputed the fact with her store manager who agreed that she had worked over thirty hours, but she had been deleted by his boss from the system and no record could be found of her hours. Clearly these employees are treated poorly and therefore will have a hard time, putting on a smile for every customer- imagine losing your job after months of searching for a job to be fired from a gas station. Even worse, we cannot find anyone who will hear the complaint out. Other employees simply say they cannot give out any corporate numbers. I cannot help but think this marketting manager has threatened their jobs as well!

In Memphis the marketting manager harrasses female employees. The man is named Bobby Coplin/Copeland- my daughter came home crying he put his hands on her and threatened her job. This man has two children and is married. It is unacceptable!

I have been with the company for over a year now and have seen various things at different stores that I disagree with myself here in Ohio. If you feel strongly enough about your complaints look around the front doors for a sticker that reads somerhing along the lines of comments or complaints. It is a corporate number. Make sure you get the store number which should also be displayed on the sign. If the sign is not visible try circlek.com. Hope this helps, and I'm sorry you have had such a bad experience. Its nothing glamorous but I personally love my job and all my regulars all which are like family now. Good luck!

Circle K - Poor employee treatment

I worked @ circle k for 3 mos. From the very beginning, i'd had problems accessing my money on a pay card issued instead of direct deposit or a regular all american check. Asked manager to look into it. Her comment, "there's the number you need to call" as she pointed to a bulletin board that was chalk full of stuff dated from the 80's on up!! As a new...

Circle K wants to charge for free cokes

I recieved 3 coupons today from mycokerewards.com, its coca colas website where you enter the codes from the caps of their products and get points. You can then use these points to buy various items. I always choose the "free 20oz coke product" coupons.

Anyway, I went into town to get my "free" coke. I stopped at the circle k on well rd in west monroe, louisiana.

I went inside, got a coke out of the cooler, and handed the lady behind the counter my coupon. She said she needed to scan the coke, which I figured was for inventory reasons or something. But, being curious, I asked about it.

"you have to pay sales tax on it", she said

"sales tax? Well, its free, so sales tax on 0 is 0. ", I replied jokingly.

"no, it says on the coupon that you have to pay the sales tax. ", she said.

"but its free", I said.

"no, like I said, you have to pay the sales tax on the normal price. ", she replied

"forget it. Let me have my coupon back", I said.

"you don't want the coke?", she asked.

"not if i'm going to have to pay for it. ", I replied, "i've been to 3 different stores with these type of coupons before and this is the first one that has wanted me to pay anything. "

Now, I did look at the coupon after leaving, and it does say "you pay sales tax and/or deposit. "

However this is the first time i've had any store even say anything about it, more or less try to get money from me.

I will not buy anything from circle k any more.

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.

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.

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!
