This particular location is a nightmare if you're a woman getting gas. I have never once NOT been approached by a stranger and asked for money or gotten yelled at if it wasn't enough money for the panhandler. $5. will get you screamed at by a homeless person. I avoid this gas like the plague. It's the closest station to me that sells diesel fuel, so that stinks that I can't go there. I had to go there today, it was unavoidable, first time back in at least 6 months. The second I stepped out of my car, before I even reached the gas pump, a woman with her child in tow, told me she had no money to buy gas for her car and she needed to get her child home. I had my credit card already out, so I said ok, and gave her $11.00 worth of gas. After that, I go back to my car where my daughter is waiting, to gas up my own car. While I'm putting gas in my car, another woman pulls in to get gas, and is within seconds approached by a different woman but asking for gas for the same car I just put $11.00 of gas into. I told the woman driver that I had just put gas in that same car. She felt pressured by these 2 women to also put gas in their car using her credit card. This gas station is crawling with panhandlers and scam artists. I strongly advise any woman alone to avoid this particular Circle K on Ponce De Leon Ave. You will get approached by a stranger wanting money. I called the store manager and tried to explain the problem with his gas station, he barely spoke English so I'm not sure if he understood what I was saying or just pretending to not understand. I will NEVER go back. It doesn't feel safe, even in the middle of the day. Buyer Beware.
