Circle K Food Store

The Mountain Dew voltage fountain drink has been out of order for at least a month!!! Come on I don’t know why I waste gas coming here hoping it’s been fixed. Disappointed again… I’m not coming to this circle k ever again.

It is what it is. Convenient. Like every Circle K, it smells of 15-​hour old hot dogs and the bad hygiene of the lottery-​ticket-​purchaser in line in front of you. This one is on the gay block, so you get a few folks popping in buzzed to grab the aforementioned hot dogs after hitting the bars a few feet away.
You’ve been to nicer ones, but if you’re here, you’re drunk and not too picky. Same could be said for the local bars, really… *ziiiiiing!*

One word «cockroaches» this place is a disgrace to society. How it passed the health codes, I have no idea.

Dirty, run-​down, tiny. Caters to the homeless and the hustlers and the addicts hanging out on that corner near the bars. Clerks are mute and do not engage with customers. I could tell the mind-​set of the place when I went in very early one morning on my last visit for some cold caffeine (I don’t drink coffee — shoot me) and the morning newspaper. It was before 6am, and the clerk says «have a nice night» — like I’m another of their customers who just stumbled out of a bar or something. I only went here because there aren’t that many convenience stores around and I’m a big-​gulp-​type of person– but from now on I’ll make the effort to go up the road a bit more to a 7 – 11.

Right across the street from hunters and the bars. Place was a little dirty when we went in. Convenient location for pre game drinks or snacks.

The prices were reasonable. Sales on water. However, when we walked in the cashier was sitting on the floor behind the counter. There was an extremely long line for such a small store. When it was finally time for us to check out, the angry cashier lady didn’t seem very happy. We had about $ 25 or so worth of groceries. We asked her if we could pay with a $ 100 bill. She said that we could but it might take a while, we said ok and gave it to her. She wouldn’t take it at first, and said «Actually, I’d rather you didn’t» We replied that it was all we had. She got frustrated and shoved our stuff to the side. We asked her what we were waiting for and she said a time safe. After about 20 – 30 minutes, she finally threw the change $ 75 even at us. I find hard to believe that the change was even, but we just wanted to get out of there and we didn’t care to wait around for a receipt.
In this area there isn’t much to choose from for convenience stores, however I’d avoid this place at all costs. Definitely don’t bring $ 100. I got the feeling she was making us wait to get back at us for ruining her day by coming into her store and attempting to purchase something. The nerve of us. The thing that was incredibly ridiculous to me was that while she forced us to wait several people in line paid with $ 20’s, and when she finally gave us the change she gave it to me mostly in $ 5s. Another punishment I assume. I’m not sure really, but this lady was absolutely dreadful and I will never return.

Clean. All the amenities you need on the go. Sales on water — big jugs of water.
One star goes down for the icky coffee — even though they have great amenities and an excellent layout for the coffee, cream, flavored creamers, etc. Sometimes a gal desperately needs that cup of mud.
