Circle K — Local services in Canton

It was one of those bright, sticky East Texas afternoons, the kind where the sun feels like it’s settling in for the long haul. I pulled into the Circle K off the highway in Canton, a place I’d been meaning to stop at for a Polar Pop and a few minutes of sweet, sweet air conditioning.

First problem: the parking lot. Small doesn’t even start to describe it. Whoever designed it must’ve either been an optimist or had a grudge against anyone driving a pickup bigger than a Ford Ranger. Maneuvering my truck into a spot took more time and more gear shifts than I want to admit. A guy in a lifted Ram gave me a “good luck” wave as he backed out with about an inch to spare between bumpers.

Inside, though, it was a different world — icy cold and that familiar hum of too many coolers running at once. The Polar Pop machine was calling my name. I grabbed the biggest cup they had (because why even bother otherwise?) and started the ritual: ice halfway, Dr Pepper first, a splash of Coke, just a touch of cherry flavor shot. A masterpiece.

I wandered the aisles for a bit, dodging a kid running around with a half-open bag of Cheetos, and picked up a Slim Jim and a bag of trail mix for the road. The cashier, a lady with a hair bun high enough to qualify for a building permit, rang me up with a friendly “Y’all have a good one, now!”

Back outside, the parking lot hadn’t gotten any bigger. I had to wait for a minivan full of soccer kids to load up, all while trying not to bake alive. I finally squeezed out, my Polar Pop sweating just as much as I was, and hit the road again, the cup rattling happily in the holder.

Circle K, you might have the tiniest parking lot in Canton, but you’ve also got the coldest drinks — and sometimes, that’s all you...

For starters this store is disgusting. There is literally piss all over the bathroom floors and they severely stink. The lady working today, is rude as hell and probably shouldn’t work with the public. I politely informed her the cherry Pepsi in the fountain was not in fact cherry Pepsi and they might need to change the sign to what it is, it’s fluorescent red and her response was ok!? I’ll check it ina very rude tone And then she proceeded to be all pissy cause I told her I guess. lol as someone that has been a cashier, that is literally part of her job to make sure the correct products are where they’re supposed to be and if not to fix it, so if she doesn’t want to deal with it, she should pronounce find another job. Furthermore, if you can’t be polite to people and constantly look...

05/05/25 BAD DEF!! GAVE ME IMMEDIATE SCR DERATE. I $48 WORTH 11 GALLOMS. DROVE TO VAN TX GOT POWER REDUCTION. I bought a diphone pump from loves to remove all the def. It literally smelled like and felt like soap. Had no emonia smell at all. Could've passed for weak hand sanitizer. I shouldv3 know something was off because no trucks were fueling. My 5 gallon water tank is now my non potable water tank because I used it to catch the bad def.

Long story short put new def and went and got def treatment from auto zone. Before I even made to Truck...
