About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K and asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever get the feeling that someone’s watching us?’ The next morning, everyone noticed strange shadows moving around outside. Suddenly, an old lady appeared from behind the gas pumps, waving her shopping bag and yelling, 'Hey! I’ve been standing here for ages!' Everyone burst out laughing—turns out she was just waiting for her turn to fill up.

2. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked into Circle K and asked the clerk, ‘Do you sell batteries that never run out of juice?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'We do have those, sir!' He pointed towards a shelf filled with ordinary AA batteries. The old man looked puzzled for a moment before breaking into laughter. 'I see,' he said, shaking his head, 'you’ve been selling these forever.' As he left, he added over his shoulder, 'Guess I’ll stick to my wind-up watch then.'

3. One day, while filling up at Circle K, a customer noticed something odd on the gas pump screen: it kept flashing, ‘Thank you for your loyalty—your next fill-up is free!’ A delivery driver, noticing the message, decided to top off his truck and drove away with a big smile. Later that evening, he returned to thank them personally, only to discover that everyone had already gone home. The next morning, when the staff arrived, they found him still sleeping in his truck, snoring loudly, and clutching his empty receipt—oblivious to the fact that his tank was now bone-dry.

4. One afternoon, as customers lined up at Circle K, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Attention, everyone—we’ve just run out of reality.' A delivery driver paused mid-sentence and asked, ‘What do you mean, “run out of reality”?’ The announcer replied, ‘Don’t worry, it’s just our weekly maintenance.’ Everyone laughed and went back to their business, except for one regular who insisted on checking the shelves for anything unusual. When he found nothing but regular snacks and drinks, he shrugged and said, ‘Guess I’ll just have to believe in something else today.’
