I think it's a real shame though that the cashiers are quite rude. 90% of the time, these young men don't speak to you at all, not a word.. won't even look at you. And sometimes are too busy on their phones or talking to each other to do their work. It's really poor customer service. One of the younger guys reeks of alcohol, every time I go up to pay. This week, I came in and there was a very sketchy looking guy outside and he walked in when I did. He had an angry scowl on his face and stared at everyone while he just stuffed his jacket full of snacks, got a soda and walked out. The guy behind the counter looked at him and didn't say a word. It was terribly uncomfortable and this man then stood right outside the business afterwards. I've seen him a few times when I pull up and I refuse to go in now if I see him. From what I've seen, there's more police presence here at this Motomart than any other gas station around- I don't know why this is tolerated and not reported by staff. I hope I'm wrong and it has been. If it hasn't, you're putting people at risk. For such a clean, well stocked convenience store, so much work needs to be done in customer service. There is only one evening cashier, that I know of, that is very friendly and I wish I knew his name to give him a shout out. I just know he has dark hair and wears glasses - always been great.

Such was the case recently after a Road Gig of my band in the charming Hamlet of Edwardsville, Ill. Wife accompanied me on this one, and brought along our smallest, most fragile beloved Chihuahua, Minnie. We got an early start, but Our diminutive, furry passenger precluded a restaurant stop for breakfast. As McDonalds is often a workaday choice during the week (McD's was the only choice near for drive-through food), I looked for an...alternative. We refueled at the Circle K which is the subject of this post. (Please don't let the one-star rating reflect an indication of the condition/service of this Circle K as a pit stop. The store is clean, well stocked and as pleasant as a service station as can be. I'll explain why the one-star was thrown.) I filled up the Whale, and went inside the store to get a bottle of Diet Pepsi, a small cup of water for the puppy, and find something to shove down our throats tiding us over the 3 hour ride home. The Pepsi and water were easy. Wife asked for a glazed donut, also easy. I did a few aisle laps in a futile attempt to find something edible. The idiocy here, was that I was half expecting to find something different on each lap. What the hell was I expecting, other than the Chips, candy bars, overpriced sundries and cheap wine that is the usual truck of the convenience store. And isn't it funny, the later in the day, the more appetizing that stuff is, and if it's REALLY late, it's a goddamned gourmet buffet. But at 9 in the morning, your eyes define truth at a higher definition-it's all junk, all the time. Cheetos and KitKats do not a fine breakfast make. Fine and noble, but what sort of cosmic buggery caused me to take a pass on the known shite of the cellophane bags, and look with interest on the roller-grill stuff opposite the cashier? A cosmic distress signal? Was the recreational medication I consumed in the 70's calling a due marker? In the past, given the choice, I would have broken the seal on a bottle of Quaker State 10w40 and guzzled it down instead of choosing from the hardened, ultra-processed, looks-like-it-was-2-weeks-old sausages, etc, that wer spinning on those rollers. Yet here I was, reaching for the tongs and taking a pair of things with the umbrella brand name of "Torpedoes" from the rollers. One with what looked like a HotDog inside, and another which purported to be an "Egg Roll". What had led me there was a sign that said "2 for $3". I slipped each into the provided, branded paper sleeve and turned, zombie-like toward the cashier. I'm an unreconstructed foodie, and Wife is bewildered at my predilection for Anchovies, Stinky cheese, Innards, and the rest of the Fear-Factor food groups; but as I took my place behind the wheel and tucked into the Torpedoes, she looked on me with a gaze that was somewhere between pity and horror. For those who have never had the temerity or courage to sample a "Torpedo", it is a hard type of shell, with a filling or meat(ish) object inside. The shell is close to an egg roll, if an eggroll had a belligerent attitude, and was determined not be eaten. The texture is closer to a Cannoli than a trad eggroll skin. It did have a pleasant crunch, but the Torpedo folks must have blown their development wad on texture, as the skin had no discernible flavor. The "EggRoll's" filling was akin to the filling you find in the bags of frozen finger-food eggrolls at the supermarket. Cabbage-y with hints of white pepper. It was the barest tick above "awful". I can tolerate a shitty eggroll at a low-budget party, when I have a cocktail in hand, but not at 9 in the morning, when I haven't even had a decent cup of coffee yet. The "EggRoll", however was a LeBernadin Amuse-Bouche compared to the Sausage Torpedo. Not much escapes me. I've had it all. Bugs, Balls, Cheeses riddled with mold, fermented fish that cats would turn their noses up to and on and on. But I wept for whatever animal gave their all to produce the disgusting capsule contained inside the second "Torpedo" on my virtual plate that morning. Then again, there might have not been any "meat" in that tube at all. I've had those little canned "cocktail sausages" you've seen at the supermarket, but dared never buy or try. Those were better than the "Torpedo" HotDog. I've had the bulk, no-name "Dogs" you see off to the side of the name-brand Franks at the store. You know, the ones you joke about being "Mystery Meat". Those are better. I have now found my limit. I now know where I will not tread. These items were not spoiled or prepared wrong. they were just intrinsically awful. I can point to dinners at Galatoires in New Orleans, BBQ in Kansas City, and my Wife's Filet Mignons as some of the best stuff I've ever eaten. And now I know exactly where, when and what the WORST food I've ever had was... Tornadoes

However, it's still a truck stop so naturally there's diesel fuel, showers, and products for truckers. There are also 10 fuel pumps for auto travelers.

Hello, I would like…read moreto report an incident I witnessed today at your store, the Pilot Gas Station (a truck stop). A customer came up to the counter to pay for some items and chose a knife that was supposed to be $20 according to the box label. However, the employee rang it up for $26. The customer pointed out that the barcode or price was incorrect and calmly showed that the box said $20. At that point, the employee--who seemed to be a Black male around 36 to 42 years old--responded very rudely. The customer then said his time was more valuable, and he would just pay the $6 difference. After that, the customer asked for three packs of cigarettes. The employee requested the customer's ID. The customer only had a Green Card, which he provided. The employee checked it and saw that everything was fine, but then wanted to enter the customer's information into the computer. The customer calmly refused, saying he did not want his Green Card information stored. He also said he didn't want the cigarettes anymore. At that point, the employee became very aggressive, cursed at the customer, and even showed an inappropriate gesture before forcing him out of the store. I do not know that customer personally, but I witnessed the entire incident. I would like management to take this matter seriously. This happened on 11/26/2025, between 5:00 and 6:00 in the evening.
