| - Firstly,,, I spend over $800 a month at QT stations in Arizona exclusively just on gas, sodas, kitchen, and etc. Now for the meat of this thing; the area is getting a little tough at sundown. Next door is a mental health / homeless shelter. Plus, you have drunk / cracked out homeless wandering the "hood". You got individuals coming up to you aggressively panhandling to the point where it is in the grey area of threatening / intimidating / attempted robbery. The staff at the store refuse to "patrol" the lot, thus resulting in confrontations between drunk belligerent homeless subjects and normal customers like myself. I have complained so many times to the store staff, asst mgrs, and store manager. Useless. Nothing is done except "oh, we called PPD". When the drunk continues towards me in an aggressive and threatening manner demanding money, this is where pepper spray gets presented and the tables are turned and I am no longer "prey" for the criminal. Why should I have to "gear up" just to go to this crappy store and get a soda? I expect better of QT. This stuff is basically Circle K kind of behavior and exactly why I don't patronize Circle K. I will not return to this location till corporate resolves this matter. Armed security is needed in the evenings / early nights. As far as the ladies, make sure you know how to defend yourselves with training, training, and more training. Make sure and bring your defensive tools as permitted by law. You might need them at this location in the evening ; ( Quit depending on PPD to provide security for your store # 440. It is private property and QT corporation is responsible to provide for the customer's well being and safety while they are on the premises. Not, the PPD. Filed complaint with QT Corporate Office regarding this incident as well.
