POOR EMPLOYEE TREATMENT
I worked @ Circle K for 3 mos. From the very beginning, I'd had problems accessing MY money on a pay card issued instead of direct deposit or a regular all American check. Asked manager to look into it. Her comment, "There's the number you need to call" as she pointed to a bulletin board that was chalk full of stuff dated from the 80's on up!! As a new employee, I had no clue what to look for. I finally got hold of the card company and they continually emailed me codes in order to access my money. The card co. issued verification to reimburse my decline fees, etc. Great!! I thought. Nothing doing. I gave he email to the mgr. with directions from card co. to Circle K H/R dept. I waited, waited, and waited. Nothing!!! I called mgr. of store she wouldn't answer the phone and avoided me. I called Circle K in Az. "We do not do this sort of transaction."
This is bull !!! All the card co. wanted was permission to access MY account to reimburse me. Circle K refused.
COMPANIES LIKE CIRCLE K DON'T DESERVE TO BE IN BUSINESS... DON"T PATRON THESE RIP OFF COVIENINCE STORES AND ALWAYS CHECK YOUR EXP. DATES!!!
Also, my mother is in very bad health. I didn't have anyone to stay with her and let them know at least 12 hrs. prior to my next shift. I was told, " sounds like a personal problem." They knew I'd almost lost her prior to Christmas. I liked to have...!!! It's not like the girl who's "daddy baby got thrown in jail" excuse. I wound up covering half her shift on top of mine!! And was expected to work again that night!! She didn't want to wake her mother to keep the kid. I literally had to quit a job that kept me sick with upper respiratory infection the whole time I worked there. And on top of that... to keep from paying me the over-time I'm supposed to be paid BY LAW, the mgr. went in, clocked me out, and then clocked me right back in!!! LABOR LAW BROKEN RIGHT THERE!!!
Hey Circle K>>>>>>
Sure you're not owned by a politian???? Or maybe a C.E.O. ????

Wants to charge for FREE cokes
I recieved 3 coupons today from mycokerewards.com, its Coca Colas website where you enter the codes from the caps of their products and get points. You can then use these points to buy various items. I always choose the "Free 20oz Coke Product" coupons.
Anyway, I went into town to get my "free" coke. I stopped at the Circle K on Well Rd in West Monroe, Louisiana.
I went inside, got a coke out of the cooler, and handed the lady behind the counter my coupon. She said she needed to scan the coke, which I figured was for inventory reasons or something. But, being curious, I asked about it.
"You have to pay sales tax on it", she said
"Sales tax? Well, its free, so sales tax on 0 is 0.", I replied jokingly.
"No, it says on the coupon that you have to pay the sales tax.", she said.
"But its FREE", I said.
"No, like I said, you have to pay the sales tax on the normal price.", she replied
"Forget it. Let me have my coupon back", I said.
"You don't want the coke?", she asked.
"Not if I'm going to have to pay for it.", I replied, "I've been to 3 different stores with these type of coupons before and this is the first one that has wanted me to pay anything."
NOW, I DID look at the coupon after leaving, and it does say "You pay sales tax and/or deposit."
However this is the first time I've had any store even say anything about it, more or less try to get money from me.
I will NOT buy anything from Circle K any more.
