Circle K

I get that it’s Circle K and that one’s expectations generally aren’t that high, but wow. This could possibly be the worst Circle K I’ve been to, and that’s saying a lot. There are gas pumps… Two of them. In a lot that is so small that anytime you pull in you run the risk of running into someone or having someone run into you. Any time I’ve ever been there there’s almost been an accident. It’s almost impossible to maneuver your car in and out of parking spots. And if you try to get gas first thing in the morning, you’ll be waiting a while. Because there are only 2 pumps, only 4 cars can gas up at a time. And it’s usually big construction trucks that sit their trucks at the pump then take their sweet time inside and pumping. Meanwhile, you’re sitting there, waiting. Finally a car leaves, but of course it’s on the wrong side, and you can’t get out of the spot you’re in so you keep waiting. Worst place to get gas, ever! The staff is less than friendly, and there’s one lady there who will always point towards the UCF change bucket as you’re checking out and say, «Help the children?» If you say yes, and drop a few coins in you get a «Have a blessed day.» If you don’t, say you’re paying with a card and have no cash, you get met with stink-​eye and a grudging, «Have a nice day.» Don’t try to guilt me into giving to charity! I’m pretty sure i’ve done more for charity than you ever will. The homeless crackheads love to sit outside, staring at you as you go in and out, which is almost worse than panhandling. It’s just creepy. Basically, I’d avoid this Circle K unless you are in dire straights. There’s another one on 8^th St and Alma School which is far less scary with more gas pumps. Go there instead!
