I was heading back home last night and needed to use up what has been a backlog of Circle K digital coupons. I remembered this store on the southeast corner of Steeles Avenue East and Laureleaf Road South. It's a part of an Esso gas station, which is across from a Shoppers Drug Mart where you can get egg salad and tuna salad filling.
Yes, it's the only Shoppers Drug Mart that has sandwich filling in little tubs that I have ever come across. It's a special plaza and I was hoping for something special about this Circle K.
It was maybe 9 pm when I pulled into this plaza. There were several parking spots in front of the store. I backed into one and walked in.
This place had one customer inside. When I left, there were two. It does steady business.
I had coupons for the following:
- Circle K chips
- Circle K water
- Bio Steel
I found the chips first. I got ketchup and all-dressed chips. It didn't have sour cream and onion, which I was craving. However, there was a deal on Lay's sour cream and onion chips, so I got some. I rarely get so many bags of chips. Hey, there's a first for everything.
I also found the Circle K water in the fridge. It was straightforward.
It was my first time getting Bio Steel. My usual Circle K has a Bio Steel display. This store didn't. I had to ask the nice man at the front where his Bio Steel was. He helped me out by walking over to the fridge roughly three doors down from the water, but on the top rack. I thanked him and grabbed the rainbow twist.
He also helped the two men who walked in after I did. One needed to use the washroom, so the staffer provided instructions to make a right.
I headed back to the counter to redeem my coupons. He was kind to let me know that I could redeem a maximum of three a day, which I had planned to do here. They all scanned without a hitch.
I had my PC Optimum barcode scanned from my phone. I then paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done.
He was kind to put all my goodies in a plastic bag. I thanked him for helping me with Bio Steel. He told me that it was his pleasure. I actually carried the drinks in my hand, because I was going to put them in my backpack in my car. I wished him a nice evening. He told me to take care. I reciprocated and left.
I had a bag of sour cream and onion chips when I got home. They were yummy and hit the spot after a long day. I've been drinking my Bio Steel drink. Rainbow twist tastes like fruit punch. I like that it has potassium and magnesium. It's also sugar-free. Bio Steel is deemed a hydration drink. I like it.
It is a special store thanks to the male staffer who was there. I wish that I had dropped by this Circle K much sooner. I liked my visit last night. I'll be back again soon.
