Circle K
reviews and complaints

I was visiting the Circle K on Jim Redman Blvd in Plant City, FL approximately 10 minutes ago. As I was checking out I heard an employee mention how she had received two counterfeit $10 bills (and didn't know that she was supposed to check them). She admitted to another employee that she had given one of the counterfeit bills back out to a another unsuspecting customer in attempts to get rid of it so that they no longer had possession of the counterfeit bill(s). As I am a very frequent customer at Circle K stores, it frightens me to hear that an employee felt justified in this behavior. This experience has severely diminished my trust in that store in particular and I thought someone should be told about this event. Thank you so much for your time.

2 employees lit a cigarette as I walked into the store. I thought to myself that surely They were going to walk away and smoke. But they stood on the sidewalk literally Blocking the left entrance door. I mentioned it to the employee checking me out that they may as well smoke inside. The girls behind the counter didn't comment at all. As I was walking out I had to go around them to get to my car and ask why did they have to block the door and smoke there. They made some snide remark and acted like I was asking an unreasonable question. I'm not against people that smoke, my husband is a smoker. But it is very distasteful having your employees smoking at the entrance to the store. Their names were Brian and Courtney. They were very rude and unapologetic. I hope that they are reprimanded. Not a very good example for your company.

I am a avid customer at circle k in downey ca 90242 on paramount and cole.
My kids go there and my entire family. I always get pervy looks when i go from the all male staff. But i usually dont say anything. This past weekend i did and got into argument with one of the cashiers. Now they have a picture of my on the wall with the thieves and i have neruo pain which is debilitating so i fall alot they have pictures of me falling outside. My children have to see this and neighbors its humilating at harassing it need to be removed asap.

The assistant manager needs either customer service training or needs to change jobs. Went in to pay for fuel found out they were out of reg. unl.
Not a problem give me something else paid 20.00...
Went to pump gas received .48 cents...went back in clerk giggled and said oh we must be out of that too. No offer of refund when I asked she e said you'll get it back in a day or two ...I don't know what to tell you !I asked for manager was told the young man behind me was assistant manager and he will tell you the same thing...since he had heard the conversation so he repeated what she said in a smart tone. When I asked for managers number as I followed the young man out . He said I 'm not giving you his number..Went back clerk inside for number guess what does not have that or corp. number finally go the store number. on my way back out the assistant manager waived papers at me and said I'm putting up signs ...Does any of that sound professional? I've worked in customer service for 30 years and would remove or write up both employees...
I also know loosing one customer means nothing to a company of this size but I will not set foot in that store again.

The circle k in my town always closes early when that Jenny girl works there and alot of people in town are mad for this reason. Just moments ago I watched her lock the door and 10:50 on and refuses customers that rushed there before they closed. It's becoming a frequent problem along with their "be back soon sign". Please either find a new person to close or replace her. Something. Please and thank you

First rule of retail: Never turn down a sale if you can help it...

This afternoon, after visiting 2 other locations that did not have the product I wanted, 2 ltr Dr Pepper, I stopped at this store... Coca Cola was making their delivery as I came in, so I was fairly sure they had the items I wanted...

There were NO Dr Pepper in the cooler case, but the delivery had pallets of the drink on the floor, so I took 2 out of the case, and went to the register...

I informed the young lady at the counter that I had taken these from the delivery case so when they counted in the product, it would be 2 short...

I was told I had to wait half an hour before they did the count, and refused to sell me what I had come in for... I work 10 hour days, and waiting around 30 mins for a them to count a product I HAD IN HAND IS UNACCEPTABLE...

I've worked retail, and you never EVER let a sale go out the door if you can help it... I could have just kept my mouth shut about where I got the product, and then they would not known why they were short on the count...

You lost a customer for good, Circle K... Valero and Chevron are just as close as your store is, and I'm sure they won't have a problem taking my business and my money...

The store is hiring sisters and brothers phone number is [protected] I applied at a store my sister worked and was told relatives were not to work together. I am really appalled at this if its not handled I will seek litigation and finical hardship due to this situation and the owner is well aware of the situation and you might want to random drug test just saying take care

Go into this location every morning for the past several years. NEVER AGAIN. Yesterday I went in and got my usual cup of coffee, juice and carton of smokes. Debit machine was down but they said the credit card portion was operable. I used my Debit/CC as credit and it did not work. I have a few thousand bucks in that account and never has it been declined unless it is a system error with the company. With that being said I had been waiting in line for approx. 5 mins and have been drinking my coffee. I said ok no problem but what am I supposed to do with my coffee. The woman's comment "Ill GIVE it to you THIS TIME". Now wait... Your system goes down and you embarrass me as if it is my fault, like my acct was declined. I plan on going in after work today and paying for that cup and NEVER WALKING into that store again.

Walked inside and begged to use the restroom because I was about to go on myself. Was treated like an inmate in the prison system by a guy who does not care about his job and said " I hope I do" when I told him he was gonna lose his job. Things should have been handled a lot differently I am sorry for my cuss word at the very end of the video he had me on the edge of calling the police. Threatened to break my phone and started charging towards me around the counter.. I really hope this does not go uncorrected. I have sent messages to CBS several Circle K Facebook pages and I'm still considering pressing charges through the local police department for the threat that he gave me

Date last 4 or 5 months,
ALL Florida locations I have visited,

To the Corporate individual that mandated the use of a FLAT 4" x 8" x 1/2" tray for use as a hotdog container, Did you even TRY using this "cheap, flimsy, weak cardboard "thing" to carry a hotdog in? I'm all for saving money and streamlining, but this decision of yours shows your stupidity. You may have made you friends in Corporate but you have truly angered customers.

I am very close to making my final purchase from your stores. in the early AM when you stop for coffee, your lucky find any available, creamer is non existent because you took out all but one dispenser. The minimal number of employees are so overworked they "can't make coffee or get to replacing the empty creamer dispenser (the one that remains). I hope you are given a proper job, such as pushing a rolling bucket and mop. And I certainly hope your hands get heavy wrinkles from using all those cleaning solutions. Janitorial work is all your qualified for.

By all means, economize. However, consider the "quality" of the service and products you end up giving to your customers. Making yourself look good to Corporate for a fatter bonus at our expense should get you a mop and a bucket.

Sincerely,

Tom Hudgins
Ocala, FL.

Tonight went to the circle K on West 70th Street in Shreveport, Louisiana.I paid for prepaid gas left out the store go pump the gas on the screen say see cashier. I went inside the store ask what happen when the cashier name Kim .Who don't checkout told me that I took to long to pump the gas and it went back on the card.I told how when on the screen it said see cashier then she went in told me that she didn't care about me getting gas.Now I always go In this circle k for ice because it down the street. And it in black neighbor. So Kim must believe she can talk to customer any way because we are black.Kim always talk rude to customer about tonight she talk to wrong customer in that manner.

Her name is Reba and she work at the Gaffney SC location and she let her son and his friends come up to the store and get free stuff and I have done seen her son do a drug deal a few times.. I think if I have to pay full price for the things I want her and her family also should do the same and all the drug activity will be passed on to law enforcement

I stopped by at this location to purchase gas. I happened to pull up to pump 3. I got down to initiate the transaction at the pump I inserted my card in the slot to swipe the card, but as soon as I inserted my debit card it got stuck half way in. I tried pulling my card out since it was not fully inside the reader, but I could not get it to come out. So I had my daughter help me but both had no luck it was stuck. So I go into the store to ask the clerk if she possibly had a plier which I could borrow at first said yes but once I was explaining what had happened the other clerk said no that I would have to wait until tuesday when the manager was available I told her I would not wait that long and that it was a risk to leave my card half way stuck. She stated that she could not that I could not use a plier to gasp my card that would be tampering that its against the law etc... Told her that my card was not fully inserted in the slot but she like no she was been very rude in front of another customer so I asked the customer if he had a plier he said he may have one. The other clerk who was there I believe your daughter was the one who came to tell me that the card was stuck. I stopped her on her tracks and told her I don't pump gas here this is the first and no! My daughter did not come to tell you you got the wrong person. I so your telling that someone card got stuck and yet you guys did not place a notice or sign that the pay at the pump was not working. You guys knew but did not do nothing to advise the customers. If I had known I would have gone inside to pay. While the other clerk was no you can't do that. If you use a plier to pull it I will have to call the cops on you for tampering. I told her call them maybe they can help me get my card out since you guys are inepted clerks.. Yet she yelled it to me again she would have to call the cops. Im like you threating me... Then dont wait call them im waiting... Then she like you call them... I told her your the one thats going to call them since your threatening me.. All this is going on in front of the customer.. Told her well im going to wait then call them im not going to leave my card halfway inserted for some other customer that pulls up to pumps gas to pull card and run off and commit fraud. Luckly the customer that was in the store hearing all the b. S from the clerk who happened to be on the phone talking to her manager. Came out and was able to wiggle the card out. I went back inside demanded the managers number and would have a talk with her. And also told the clerk tell you manager I got the card out. And she mentioned after this she was going to place a notice at the terminal... Told thats what should have been done in the first place when the other customer who lost her card in the machine.. I'm so very disgusted with service this # rendered and threatening to call the police on me all this would have been avoided if they would have done there job efficiently. I was so livid that I did not pump gas at that station or purchase anything... I will no longer be doing business at this location nor with circle k. Its sad that I have family working for this chain

The circle k on hwy 2200 us-29 cantonment florida 32533, the employees are doing drugs and stealing stuff from the store, and when the employees aren't scheduled to work they come up and hang out in the parking lot doing drugs with the employees that are working, I believe that some of them are having sex in the restroom. This needs some attention.

The location on old kings and baymeadows Rd in Jacksonville FL has an employee who always closes after 2 am and walks around the parking lot like he's sweeping it's so as annoying cause I always go there on my way to work at 3:30 am but when he works he closes after 2am plus he parks his car next to the gas pump and when people are In the store he watches like we are thieves. I am so done with that store I will take my business to gate gas where 24 hrs is 24 hrs

I regularly go to store 1404 in Danville, il. I except that usually the store is messy and the management leave new employees alone in the store, while they (the group of them) generally stand around infront of the store smoking. The reason for my complaint finally now is that the link/POS systems are regularly down and wastes my time of going into your mediocre establishment. This and the fact that store 1404 was recently remodeled, I assumed your management would be keeping up on the cleanliness. The store now looks as filthy as it did before the remodel. The turnover rate at 1404 must be attrocious based on the fact there is always a new cashier and no one seems to know anything when prompted, which leads me to believe that their is seriously incompetent management as well as a horrible training system in place. I have finally had enough and I will just spend the additional fifty cents to get a soda from citgo across the street.

I have always experienced good service in this location specially because I travel to dallas a lot with my family.
Today the 5/16/17 I had with me my 4 year old daughter she really needed to pee, we pull over got gas and the cashier rude said she didn't have the key? I told her mam is for my daughter not me. She said no.. after I spend money with you guys and you just said to me no, when I know you guys had the key. If theirs no public restroom get a sign.. and if for customer only also.. I will report this isssue because we spend money the lady Stephanie and Margie where rude.

I went to store 2707435. I always go to circle k to buy my smokes. The lines tend to be shorter, always cleaner, and most importantly friendly staff. I asked for my specific smokes and intended to buy gas. She did the right thing by asking for my id very rudely. I know I look young i'm 27 and look 16, but never have I been asked in such a manner. She took a quick glance and shoved my i'd back and stated come back tomorrow. I held my compsure expecting them not to have them and asked for my backup brand. She was visibly upset that she had to leave her chair again to accommodate me. She took a phone call during this process as well. She handed me my smokes, and i'd after staring at me the entire time I ran my card. She also handed me a pen. I of course confused since I paid debit asked if i. Had to sign something. She said no and gestured me out of her store. I was so angry I didn't even get gas. I will be thinking twice before going to any circle k and especially that one! Feel free to call me at [protected] or [protected]@gmail.com

I went to the circle k store located in central ave north, ST Petersburg fl this morning, i asked the CSR about the donuts and she replied that she doesn't eat this crab.
I didnt know that Circle K is selling crab instead food
How about one thing that this CSR doesnt know " people eat with teir eyes first"
Too bad for this corporate "Circle k "would have this kind of customer service.
