“I went to several DG looking for a specific drink and they all told me, “If is not out there, we don’t have it.” I got to this location and they didn’t have the drink out either but the employee, Chris, asked what I was looking for and after explaining that they didn’t have it out. He asked, if I was okay with waiting while he went to check the back. Came back out with a whole case! 😁 Thank you for your help!”
“It's a little dingy but it's just a bread store so that's kinda expected. The workers are kind most the time. Never worry when I come.. except if they have enough money to give me change. So bring small bills”
“Tracy at the register was so sweet. A small item was missed at the counter that I had put there to buy. She met me in the parking lot offering to pay for it but I took care of it. Such a nice gesture. She is a valuable employee!!”
“This DG runs like a well-oiled machine. It's clean, well-stocked and staffed with friendly employees. The last time I was in, the manager Joe stopped what he was doing to walk me to the aisle and help me search for my item. Great job! I wish he ran the store near my home!”
“A few weeks ago I broke my glasses. I had to go to post ofc which is next door to dg. Never been in this store. A very nice helpful girl directed to me where I could find them. Got them and she was busy doing something but asked if I needed to check out. Yes please. I hate self check out. I asked her if I had picked out the correct strength not only that but offered to cut the tag off. How thoughtful and a very pleasant attitude. Elderly like myself really do appreciate kindness. Sorry didn't get her name. Thank you”
“Employee, Jamie is awesome at customer service! Both ladies in the store were most helpful and friendly. There was a difficult customer and Jamie was kind and handled her very well!”
“I had a great experience here but this Circle K doesn't come without some issues, the location is a little awkward when it comes to maneuvering the fuel pumps and parking areas. When I arrived the fuel island was mostly occupied with big rigs fueling up before stating their day I attribute this to the lack of this type of service in the area which caused some chaos, add in a little impatience by those that are rushed to get in and out and you have somewhat of a quagmire in the making. After fueling my truck I moved out of harms way before going inside. I keep going back to the theme of this place, it definitely has a truck-stopish feel to it and that may just be because of the amount of big rigs loaded with building materials moving in and out of here. The crews are doing their last minute checks and grabbing a few foodstuffs and drinks before hitting the road. The staff are definitely morning people, I got a big smile and a cheerful good morning from both members of the team as I worked my way towards the back of the store looking for the water closet - it wasn't occupied and to my amazement was in pretty good shape with the amount of traffic passing through this C-Store at this hour. I frequent this area routinely so it's likely I'll return in the future...”
Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
