Circle K receives mixed reviews from customers. The workers are often described as nice, with specific praise for one tall older employee whose helpful and awesome customer service makes people's days. He has helped customers who were short on money. However, other staff experiences are negative, including a rude female clerk who spoke down to customers and workers. The store is noted as clean, but could be cleaner. A significant complaint is broken equipment, specifically a Polar Pop drink machine and the Circle K water and Powerade dispensers, which have not been fixed for months. Issues outside the store include frequent panhandling at the door and a problematic parking area that needs tending to, with not enough spaces available beyond the gas pumps.
