| - Hard times have hit many businesses around the valley, and even the Mighty Circle-K has fallen to some extent, leaving Quicktrip a.k.a. "QT" the reigning king. But this isn't about them, its about a once beloved store that I'm more familiar with; having grown up where they were the only bastion of convenience, I cherished the slurpee and the doughnuts.
Alas, the good people at this location seemed to be nice, there is an elderly woman who sits near the all-in-one-atm/check cashing machine, presumably the owner. There seems to be a fresh supply of taquitos, but the store is cramped and overstocked. The service was slow, and I returned outside to find my bike stolen. The folks inside insisted there was no cameras except ONE, and it faced just at the door, I'm sure the bare minimum.
A week later, I dropped my wallet and noticed about 100 yards later, but returned to find it missing. I canceled my card and was told that someone had purchased over $250 worth of products ten minutes beforehand. What convenience store sees that kind of sale and doesn't check ID? Especially from the crackheads that lurk around that corner....lovely.
Dont bother with this store, crime lurks all around it. The Circle K across the street is better.
