Circle K - Port Charlotte

This small, somewhat worn convenience store offers quick grab-and-go food options, beverages, and gas services. It often has a number of people loitering outside, and a thorough cleaning would definitely be beneficial. If you make frequent stops, you might appreciate their sip and save deals for some good savings.

This restaurant has a self-checkout system, which I believe contributes to job loss in our community. Here in Florida, we prioritize supporting people over corporate practices like this. After seeing this, we've decided not to return. There were seven customers who left when we saw the self-checkout; we all agree that we won't come back until a clerk is present and there's no machine. If we want to support each other, we need to take a stand. We want our clerks back and the personal service we deserve.

The cashier informed me that premium gas was a scam, after he suggested to a customer that she could use regular fuel instead. I explained that it’s not a scam and that many cars actually require premium gas. He argued with me for a minute, so I decided to leave. As an engineer, I know that using the wrong fuel can damage your car. It's shocking that a gas station attendant would dismiss a product he sells as a scam. No surprise he's middle-aged and working at a gas station.

The inside was extremely dirty, and they don't provide receipts. Twice I ordered coffee and there was no cream available at all. Overall, this place is poorly managed.

This Circle K has really gone downhill. The windshield washer fluid is just dirty water, and all the squeegees are in terrible condition. The bathroom is always dirty, and the emergency light in there is broken, making it anything but safe in case of an emergency. The Marlboro sale is non-existent now since their screen is not working anymore, so I will be taking my $200 in gas and my money for cigarettes to Murphy's from now on. You have lost a customer, and I believe no one should shop here until the place is cleaned up; it's just disgusting.
