Circle K

NO I DO NOT HAVE MY FUCKING KICKBACK CARD. AND NO I DO NOT WANT ONE. I’m sick of that kickback card shit Circle K. I don’t want anything to do with it. «Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.» — Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure

I’m in here almost every day but am going to be taking my business elsewhere. I fill up my personal vehicle and my work vehicle here all the time because it’s the closest place to my house but have grown tired of the shortcomings I’ve experienced here. In short, the gas station is very poorly designed and a couple of the staff members, especially the girl with the neon hair and glasses, are completely incompetent. The debit card machine at the register is down pretty often and when Ive come here super early in the morning to gear up before going fishing, they have a closed sign on the door. Shout out to the bald guy cuz he is always very friendly and fast.

I drive all the way here to get styrofoam and crushed ice!!! Praise God! Seriously! Thanks to whomever made the decision despite the scare tactics of the left, I love to see someone who cares more about free markets and what keeps their customers happy.
I will keep driving here as long as you keep styrofoam cups!

I stopped by Circle K today to purchase a lottery ticket. The clerk was friendly and efficient. I’ve been to this Circle K before and it is always clean inside and out. As I looked through the shop the shelves were neat and they carried a little bit of everything. It is a «total» convenient store/​gas station. There was only one clerk on the floor and she was handling her job very well. She was answering questions, ringing up customers and maintaining a pleasant manner.

Love this place I frequent 2 – 3 times a day awesome place clean always well stocked and the attendants specially Jon on nights are very helpful and friendly keep up the good work guys!!!

Their store is supposed to be open 24 hrs but almost everytime I stop by to pick something up after work late at night the doors are locked and there is nobody in sight. One time I stopped to get gas and the doors were of course locked. Usually I just leave but I didn’t think I had enough gas to make it home so I sat there and waited 45 minutes for the clerk to reappear at 1 in the morning. This is the only place open on my way home. Super frustrating.

Some friends and I went in to purchase a six pack of beer and a bottle of wine before going home. We had just gone to dinner and they had a couple of cocktails, I was the sober driver. The guy behind the counter, starts interrogating my friend who was NOT driving… it was the weirdest experience. He said he’s in some kind of law enforcement (why is he working at Circle K then?) and that he needed to be assured that we weren’t drunk. My friend is an educator and I’m a professional, we like to have fun… but far from being irresponsible (that’s why I was the sober driver). But I started to say that this was ridicuously and couldn’t believe that he was ‘testing’ my friend who wasn’t even driving… He actually gave us our money back and wouldn’t sell to us! We are both in our 40s and I just never had such a strange encounter. It was odd! THEN I told one of my friends of the experience and she said that one of her friends had a similar experience there and the SAME guy CALLS the La Mesa PD on her friend. She came out and they were waiting for her after the guy at the counter said the he had to ‘reboot’ the computer in the back (apparently really calling the LMPD) — like me she was apparently the sober driver and was let go. CRAZY stuff! Also, I’ve heard from others that they go there and the store will be closed constantly for like a ½ hour at a time… strange. Never again!

Gas here is expensive and it sucks because there is not really a cheap place all that close to here. If you must just get a small amount of gas and move on.

Small gas station. One of those where if you didn’t come in the right way you’re kind of screwed and stuck making a bunch of 3 point turns to squeeze into a spot. There are only 2 stations (4 pumps), one strip, so be strategic in which driveway you decide to come in from.
They’re modern pumps which I like. Always important to me.
They also sell propane at this station, quite handy when throwing a BBQ and you realize you’re out of the goods :-)

This place sucks. I sometimes, very rarely go there mainly for the overpriced gasoline my vehicle needs. It is hard to get in and out of here, whoever designed it was a rookie, and most of the people that come in here cannot park in the right spots, and don’t know how to navigate a too packed lot (A 5 point turn in the driveway, really?). Last night I went there to get gas because I missed my exit to go to Arco, so, swearing into the night I ended up at this mistake of a business. There were two all black beemers on either side of the pumps– one was just parked there and the dude was spittin out his dip all over the floor. the other side had the dudes smoking in the car with the windows down while pumping gas. SMARTEST PEOPLE EVER. The driver got out of the car to shut off the pump, and I’m thinking «Ok, I’m gonna die tonight, just like Zoolander’s roommates.» (Ah do the jitterbug…) Well, I’m still here. So I put my card in to pump gas, and it says please see attendant. Grrrrr! I walk across the lot, and try to go inside, and yay! the doors are locked! I tried them again and the guy says something I can’t understand sounded like «blargle nuadle teen meeneetz.» I swiftly left and drove down the street to Arco and left with a full tank. I hope I never have to go to the Circle K/​76 again.
