Circle K

Please stop trying to up sale… Everyone that comes in there is usually grown up, if I want a doughnut with my coffee, i would have gotten it, every single time… every single day.
And when they ask if you want to donate your change to whatever their cause is that month, ask them to take it out of the register and match it… I dont know what his name is but he didn’t like me saying that… I thought it was funny, don’t ask me to donate if you won’t.

This establishment is ID Nazis. I am 30 and have a full beard and they wouldn’t sell me one lotto ticket ticket on Thanksgiving

Location, Location, Location. This place has pros and cons to their location. First, it is conveniently located right off the freeway! Yayy! Right? Eh, when you’re in the middle of Perris, CA that may not be such a good thing. Lets face it this area is not known for being the most upscale part of town.
I stop here with my hubby on the way to work when we work together and it is very convenient off the 215 heading toward Riverside or Temecula. We can pop in and off put gas in and grab some coffee or Red Bull and BOLT out of there in a jiffy… unless there is a long line.
Today there was a line wrapped around the candy aisle. That was not a plus. We counted on getting in and out asap, but with the line we were held back a few minutes…
The staff was friendly, there was a cheerful lady cleaning the coffee area and the cashier was also very friendly and offered us a bag.
Bottom line, this is a gas station located in Perris. Please don’t go here and expect Beverly Hills. I would keep one eye over my shoulder at all times especially at night. Other than that, it is what it is. A gas station mini mart. There is nothing spectacular about it and nothing too terrible other than the location not being all that safe.

Three starts actually means «this is pretty good,» considering we’re talking about a Circle K here. If you just want fuel then ignore this review, cuz it’s all about the junk food and employees within.
First off I was surprised to see Thrifty’s Icecream is now inside Circle Ks. I haven’t been in one for a while obviously because to me, Thrifty’s Icecream has always been part of, well Thrifty’s even though they don’t exist anymore. But when I saw that good old Rainbow Sherbert from when I was a 5 year old kid, I had to try it again. The nostalgia is and was waxing pretty hard, so I took a shine to this store because of it.
To be frank, this store is a bit TOO laid back for its own good. I’ve seen people come up in here with those barrel-​shaped thermoses and fill them with ice. Like, not actually buying a drink. Just filling up their own containers while standing in huge ass groups since the fountain is at the back of the store, and the cashiers can’t see people stealing from the fountain.
We mainly went here because a buddy of ours was insisting that the Krispy Krunchy chicken they sell there is «pretty **** good for GAS STATION food.»
It’s quite awesome how well Krispy Krunchy has set things up to allow for anybody, including people who have no business in food preparation, are able to make some pretty freakin’ good chicken.
Yes, it’s good for gas station chicken. The honey butter biscuits are impecable as well… and not just for gas station food. They’re good period. I’d buy a few of just those instead of chips or chex mix or corn nuts.
This place /​IS/​in a low key hood in Perris. So as another review mentioned back in 2011, yeah, you might feel like you’re going to get jumped. Maybe don’t go here past sundown unless you’re with the homies.
Despite being in a desert ghetto, the store itself is actually QUITE clean and well-​kept these days. I actually felt like they deserved their A rating for cleanliness. Even with ten pounds of ice on the fountain and people spilling **** everywhere, they keep it clean and in a timely manner.
The store itself rules. The location is a bit shady. If you’re around, pick up some chicken. Just be aware everybody around here loves it and it might be hard to get some.

Maria and Bonnie are very nice! but Im not sure the Manager Bonnnie Knows what goes on there once she leaves for the day. The store turns into a nightmare. The line is super long all the time. and the cashiers will be filling up the food items not getting the line down first. Dawn is also Nice aswell and mêlée to. but the shorter girl with the glasses needs to loose her attitude with the customers.

MIDNIGHT AT THE GAS STATION
Sounds like it would be a great band name, however this was the situation I so happened to be in at midnight last night.
GETTING JUMPED
– was what crossed my mind the whole time I was filling gas. There were plenty of lights, and a fence that blocked off the open dirt lot to the left of the station, but I couldn’t shake the feeling…
GAS QUALITY?
hahaha more like «What quality?»
I hate putting crappy gas in my car, so I usually just put a few bucks till I make it over to somewhere better. I give it a ³⁄₅ Star for convenient alone.
OVERALL
Be aware of your surroundings at this place. It’s secluded enough to be an easy target, and right next to the freeway for an easy get away. Stay safe.

It’s Circle K, what can I say? Not high-​end but convenient. That’s the up side. The down side? I would only purchase fuel.

Store attendant witnesses a verbal altercation among two customers, and physical assault to an elderly man as he was leaving the store. The woman who assaulted the man was very familiar with the employee and seems like she works here in another shift. She was very verbally loud and scary. There were many customers in the store waiting to pay. Woman was challenging the man to a fight and when the man declined she hit him in his back as he was leaving out the door. She should be fired if she works there!
