The Circle K location on ************************************************ allows vagrants to use and sell drugs, threaten their customrrs, and litter on their business' property. This has caused the area around the gas station to become increasingly unsafe. Circle K seems to have no desire to remedy the issue and prevent the illegal activity occuring on their property. I am filing this complaint in the hopes Circle K will stop abetting illegal activities on their property for the well being of the surrounding neighborhood. Other business very close to this gas station do not allow these activities to occur and either have security or call the police. Circle K can and should do better.Initial Complaint

Circle K has a program that offers a free drink after 5 drink purchases. This is false advertising. The computer always says I have a free drink coming on the screen, BUT it will not offer a free drink unless I submit my card with PIN. And then, 9 out of ***************************************************** the app but I still get a debit charge. This is false advertising. Not only am I not getting that 6th drink for free, but I don't even get that drink purchase counted towards my next 5 purchases. It just screws me! So I emailed customer service, and the response was that some other program is ending. LOL apparently they are so untrained that they are worthless. So I submitted a request on the website again today. this time, so local idiot tried to get me to talk to him on the phone!!! Are they serious? This is 2024. Not 1994. They have a website and an app. I asked them to audit the account and put all the free drinks onto my account. But no, instead, I get a **** phone call. And of course, the caller was a boomer because they actually left a voicemail as if that is acceptable. Am I supposed to take more of my time to repeat myself? No. Unacceptable. I want them to end all of their programs because they are not honoring their advertisements. I intend to escaped this to the state ombudsman because bait and switch advertising is absolutely unacceptable. This company should be shamed publicly by the media. A federal class action needs to be filed to get restitution to all the customers they are robbing.Initial Complaint

On December 5th 2023, around 10:15 p.m. l, I entered the Circle K and spoke to the manager that later on refused to tell me her name. I was letting her know I was working for Shiftsmart and was there to do the merchandising for her store. She rolled her eyes and complained saying I was to be there at 5pm. I nicely explained to her that the shift was to be from 10pm to 2am and showed her the evidence of that on my phone on the app itself. She then rudely replied that she didn't care. I tried to apologize for the mistake that ********** might have made. She then looked at me with disgust and so rudely said, "You need to.get out of my store, you don't smell good, you smell cheap." With sheer embarrassment I just walked out of the store. I have never been so insulted in my life. As a manager or even as just a clerk one should NEVER speak to someone like that. I have worked for Shiftsmart for some time and have never been thru something like that.Initial Complaint

On 9/14/2023, I received bad gas from the Circle K at *************************************************, ** that resulted in an inoperable vehicle due to extremely high water content in the gasoline. The damage to my vehicle resulted in repairs in the amount of $1,965.91. I have called ******************* Guaranteed" customer service line at ************** every day for the last month and left a message each time with no response. I've also sent several emails that have gone unanswered and visited the store and was told the phone number above was the only way to resolve the issue but he did confirm bad gas at this location on 9/14/2023 and others were affected as well.Initial Complaint

Circle K on 120th by ********** had an advertising sign for regular gas at $3.87.9. I stopped to buy gas there. When I entered my credit card and removed the nozzle, the price was showing $4.15.9 cents per gallon.I went inside to inform the attendee that the price was wrong on the pump, and they said they could do nothing about it. This is not the first time this is happened there. And they always seem to increase their pump prices towards late afternoon. The attendee said that prices are set by the home office and theres nothing they can do about it.Initial Complaint

On Wednesday, May 17, 2023 I purchased "Premium" fuel from the Valero (Circle K)gas station located at the corner of **********************************************. I then drove the approximately 4 miles home and parked my vehicle. On Thursday, May 18 I noticed that several of my neighbors had posted on the neighborhood FB page that they had gotten ********* at the same Valero and were experiencing issues with their vehicles. When I drove my vehicle on Friday, May 19, my vehicle was shaking. When I next started my vehicle, the check engine light came on and the shaking was now violent. I went to the Valero and told the clerk behind the counter that I had purchased gas recently and was experiencing car issues and was given the phone number to the Circle K Headquarters ************** Opt. 5.I called and left a message. I called the following day and left another message. On Monday, May 22 I received a call from "******" from the corporate office of Circle K. I told him about buying the fuel & what my vehicle was now doing. ****** told me someone with their insurance company would be reaching out to me. Later that day I received an e-mail from *********************** with ******************** Per the e-mail, I provided the receipt for the gas I had purchased ($75) and the repair bill ($325). The repair shop "dropped" the fuel tank and "Blew out" the injectors. My vehicle ran without issue after that. On Friday, May 26, I received a call from ************ stating the Valero location in question DID INDEED have water in their tanks on May 12 but not on May 17 per some report she had and therefore would not be reimbursing me. On Friday, June 2, I called ****** back and had to leave a message. I also reached out to ************ to try to obtain a copy of the report. I haven't heard back from either of them.Initial Complaint

I got gas at the Circle K location 435 W. ******************************************************************************, Store #***** on 11/6/2022 at 4:53 PM. I pumped a little less than 6 gallons of gas @ $3.39 per gallon ($*****). The charge came through on my card for $30.01, $10.00 more. I only received ***** worth of gas and that is all I will be paying for. Anything more is theft and I am sure I am not the only one that happened to. I have tried calling the store, no answer, and the regional office number listed is not in service and email address is also invalid.
