About 2 weeks ago and employee by the name of Robert came out of the store with my girlfriend's grandmother and proceeded to curse my girlfriend out and dumped a little cigarette at her while she was getting in the car to leave. About a week ago me and my girlfriend was at the store and I put lightly asked him to apologize without being allowed without cursing or without threatening him and he responded with his not apologizing to anybody for nothing.

Since then I have been to the store with every employee including the manager and everything has been fine but tonight when I went to the store and Robert was working as soon as I walked in the door he told me that I was banned from this store and picked up the phone and called the police.

He then lied to the police and told them that I had…

This particular manager has become very vile, abusive and inhumane. Because of one she thought I was stealing and I was not! In realization she had a male figure visiting her up at the store and I believe because she felt her guy friend and others were attracted to me, she begin to blurt out disrespectful things and

make that horrible accusation of thievery that was untrue Anyhow when I came back to visit the store which is in my nice neighborhood she begin yelling telling me I wasn't welcome and that she was calling the police when there was no incident and I had not been banned from that store!!

It was embarrassing and humiliating.

, Mobile, AL, refused to sell me cigarettes unless I allowed them to scan my ID. ” First of all, that was a blatant lie as Alabama has no rules either for or against scanning IDs, nor are there any rules or laws regarding what information Circle K may retain from my ID or what you can do with that information.

This is a privacy issue for me, and if Circle K cannot respect that and have their clerks input my DOB manually from my ID, I will shop elsewhere, forever. I’ve been a regular customer at this store for years, but I will never go back, ever.

I do not trust you with all the information you can glean from my ID, and it’s ridiculous for you to expect me to, and that you feel the need to gather all that information just to sell cigarettes. There is no doubt in my mind that you will use…

What is the point of buying a sip and save subscription when certain drinks run out and they will not replace them for weeks. They have been out of diet mountain dew and diet Dr pepper for over 2 weeks.

No one is concerned and no one does anything about it in spite of how many times I ask. They always have an excuse. I was in management for many years and we did not give excuses, we changed procedures to get results.

This is I believe store 773 located in Greenville South Carolina on Wade Hampton boulevard and chick springs road. I have talked directly to the district manager several times and it does absolutely no good and she will dismiss me as though it doesn't matter.

Well it matters to me and it matters to your stores reputation. There are several other store brands that do not run…

Went to Circle K to buy tobacco products with an online manufacturers coupon. The woman at the register clearly seen the coupon on my phone, clearly seen the barcode that needed to be scanned, in fact, even took the phone from my hand to scan it herself.

And when doing so I accidentally exited out of the window with the online coupon. When I got the phone back to open the window back up, it said it had been used. But they would not honor it. It was only two freaking dollars, but they actually went as far as bullying me, and threatening not to sell me the stuff, Circle K customer service gets worse every year.

There’s a reason the rating is so low…

The manager at Circle K located at 2957 W. Montague is rude and unfriendly to customers. I visit every week day between 8am and 9am, and I have only seen her act friendly and positive to delivery people, not to customers.

This morning she actually turned to me as I waited for her to finish stocking the hot dog area (I had said to her in a friendly way "I am just waiting for the egg rolls") and she said "You could at least wait for me to finish" in a very sharpish and nasty way, then she walked off.

The young woman behind the register seemed embarrassed although I didn't comment to her about it. I live in the area and this store is convenient for me on the way to and from work, but I will not go back now.

As a customer I am NOT always right, but courtesy costs nothing and gains a LOT. I…

I had to stop to use the restroom and was going to grab some drinks. I was having stomach issues and headed straight for the bathroom first. Unfortunately, it was one of those times where you know you gotta "release" but it decides not to happen right away, and ended up stuck on the toilet for a little.

Just shortly after I first got to the bathroom and locked the door behind me, someone pulled at the door, and I'm in no need to holler out, because a locked door means it's in use, obviously. So a few mins later, I hear someone letting someone into the men's side and they thanked them.

Next thing I know, as I now am standing up facing the toilet wiping myself when the door gets unlocked and flies open! The employee who did it, didn't bother to KNOCK first, nor did she even bother to…

, Columbia, SC. This store is a 24hr store. I understand that the store is to be cleaned from 3 am to 4 am and the store is closed during those hours. I'm writing this message because this store is often locked from 1 am all the way until 5 am in the morning.

When I ask employees why, their response to me is that one of the women that work overnight is afraid to be alone in the store at night. I'd like to make a request as not only a loyal customer, but a concerned customer that your company please hire someone who will be paid to keep the store open most of the night.

Another solution would be to move the fearful employee to day shift and put someone else on the night shift. This store is strategically located next to a military base (Ft Jackson) and many other soldiers complain about…

North &Duff Road Lakeland Florida 33809 I was hired at this location, talked to the manager and then came in for onboarding, 7:30 am, it was ok'd by manager to leave at 11:30 to transport medical client to their appointment, was told to come back Friday January 27 2023 to finish my training for onboarding, was told had to be finished by the following Monday, but when I went in was told I didn't qualify because of not getting alot more done on the orientation, she let me go, I wasn't told of any certain time frame except having to be finished the falling Monday, very unprofessional towards me.

Was wondering if it could have been another reason to discharge, I need to know if this was proper procedure before I file a complaint elsewhere Please Thank you Sandra Holley (863) 307-8092

My son in law went to circle k 6996 Escondido Dr, El Paso, TX 79912 to purchase 30 pack of beer 01/28/23 When he reached in cooler door to retrieve beer items unsafely displayed on door fell on to him and crashed to the floor fortunately he only suffered bruising and wet clothes.

Store clerk was angry and only concerned for the mess. Not in any way concerned for his safety or well fare screamed that it is corporate ideas to display product on the door. Disgusting display of customer service or humanity circle k lucky there was no physical harm to him or this would be a different concern I would seriously consider safe displays as well as more human customer service.

Disgusting reaction to the whole situation check your cameras for full vision of this concern.

We’ve shopped at your Centralia Illinois store for approx 10 yrs, spending $1,000-$1,200 per month on fuel, cigarettes, & food items. I purchase the Sip & Save, then a large portion of days, they’re out of preferred flavor, car wash is frequently broke, fuel price is typically 30c more per gallon than next closest Circle K.

On Tuesday 1/24/2023, I stopped to grab sip & save, and cigarettes. Screen wasn’t working (again) so, I was not given discount for 2 pack purchase or SipnSave. I complained to clerk/assistant Manager that the customer shouldn’t lose discount due to their register fail.

I was not given discount & told customers have a choice to go elsewhere! So, I won’t shop there again. I’ll purchase fuel, smokes, snacks elsewhere & give them our hard earned $1,000+ per month. This is…

I would like to file a complaint of Circle K Store ADDRESS: 3433 CRAWFORDVILLE RD, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32305. This complaint is regarding the Manager Erica of the Store. She is allowing drug addicts and alcoholics to set around the store harassing customers.

Sher is allowing to come in the store get items with paying for them. Inventory needs to be checked. They also are selling old food to the customers such as hotdogs, sandwiches, cookies that is past the expiration date. Some of the addicts take out trash for the manager.

I has got to the point she is rude to customers and talks to her store clerks any kind of way in front of paying customer. This is not a good look for Circle K establishment. You need to find more professional managers to work the store.

I went in on 01/21/23 at 7:30am to get a few snacks before work that day as I normally do when I work on Saturday's and the two workers have ZERO customer service skills and it shows.

The cashier has no personality, does nor greet you, has no smile NOTHING!!! Not have a good day and just looks like she hates her job. Its a Spanish women and one other older one that usually work together in morning and they both just SUCK! for customer service.

I was at a Circle K at Bayshore rd. & Slater around 1/17/23 in the late afternoon and purchased 2 4 packs of Miller Lite and they were marked 2 for $10. I was at check out and the woman rang it up at $14 and some change so told her that they are marked 2 for $10.

Rudely she says " oh I doubt that" so she goes and checks, comes back and says nothing to me, "expecting an apology " and rings it up correctly. I should also mention she and another employee were eating at the check out counter also.

I believe she is a manager since she was teaching a new employee. Just thought she was very rude could have been more friendly.

Do not ever buy a prepaid card from Circle K they have a customer service that send you to try to sell you social security plans. You cannot get to a customer service representative to resolve any issues with the card they sell.

Be careful when going into the store to get an easy pay card don't go for their bait and switch.

I frequent the local circle K store because it is very close to my home and they have good prices for the nicotine products that both I and my wife use. The problem I have is that with the frequency of promotional pricing there is one employee that continuously doesn't know the current sales and because she doesn't know how to properly use the register.

I have told local mgmt that Tracy is very rude and never knows the sale prices. It got bad enough a Mgr explained to me about the hopup and then I'd try to tell her. She also 1 time lied that there was no inventory of the product I wanted not even in the back and the way she said it I was sure it was a lie so

I argued with her and told her I had never been cheated there before like she was trying to do me. 50 per gallon. When i first put the pump in my jug the last person left some in the hose and I did not jet it in the jug till what was in the hose went on the ground.

I did tell the lady attendant this and she did not believe me. This lady was going to give me the 21 cent back till a friend of hers told her not too. I was getting 2 5 gallon jugs of kerosene and when i filled the first one and was getting ready to pump the 2nd I was not pulling the…

She said have a good day in a very smarta** voice, I then told her no you have a good day, she then said it back to me again becoming angry, I then told her then you have a bad day and she said you have a bad day....

Now I'm by the door exiting at this point... she's hollering in front of other customers... so I came back and said. What's your name? she then pushed her badge to my face and said there!..... Very rudely.... I believe it was 385 or 305.....

I don't know if I want to go back again....
