Heyyyy random strangers, it's another one of those "I never write reviews but if I could give 0 stars I would!!!!!" reviews.
First off, this is a Circle K. I don't know why it's called "corner store" on Yelp. Probably so people can't find it to review it.
I have one experience here. I opened a coupon on my phone. I tried to use it. They would not let me use it.
I told them it was from the Circle K app. They told me I still cannot use it.
I asked why, as it made about as much sense as...a store telling you that you can't use their own coupons there (sorry, tried to think of something to compare it to...but honestly, there's nothing like it). They told me they have to see their address on the coupon.
I said, "okay then, I can show you the part where I click on your address. The employee physically blocked my hand from pressing my phone's screen to activate the coupon and choose the store address.
I asked them to reaffirm they do not accept their own coupons there. They obliged.
Now, the part about her physically blocking me from my phone, I want to make clear; this was not my complaint. I'm not saying I was assaulted or whining about someone touching my phone. I only pointed it out for one reason: that confirmed to me that they do this crap all the time.
How do I know this? Once you click on the address and activate the coupon, you have 5 minutes to use it or you lose it. The employee was clearly worried that I would click on the coupon and then get angry when I couldn't use it because she wouldn't let me. It's obviously happened before, but it won't happen again...at least not to me.
Screw this Circle K. Act like they're the only one in town...news flash, this is a time when other stores are honoring not only their own coupons, but coupons from other stores. It's not like I was asking a ridiculous thing to present you your own coupon. Smh... read more
