| - First of all, let me say this review is in no way an indictment of the folks who work there. The staff have always been nice, helpful and friendly. I have no complaints about them. What I DO have a beef with, is the obviously VERY poor management. If you're not fighting off the meth heads who essentially "live" by the payphones, you're accosted by the homeless, mentally ill, and people the store has allowed to sell candy outside the door. It feels like I'm always dodging someone just to get in the door. I live just down the street and go in there almost daily. I cannot begin to tell you how many times in a month their soda fountain is inoperable. Either there is no ice for the fountain drinks, no diet coke, no coke, no sprite, etc. It's always something. Then their ability to process credit and debit goes down a lot. Also, the gas pumps are so old and so scratched up with "gang" graffiti, a person cannot possibly read the meter when getting gas. AND, if you have a FRY'S card, it will not read it at the pump to give you a discount, and you must go inside (where there is usually a very long line) and wait for the clerk to punch your card numbers in. It's really too bad this Circle K has been allowed by corporate to get this bad. Corporate really needs to do a serious overhaul at this store, along with hiring security at night. If I didn't live so close by, I would never go in there.
