I've got to tell you I had a very interesting and disturbing issue at this Thornton's gas station…read moretoday. First off, I drive an ambulance, i've been driving for over eight years. There is a handicap placard hanging off of my Mirror, which is always there . I have COPD, severe neuropathy in both hands and feet well as a lot of feeling due to a spine injury and that's only for starters. I have had a handicap backward for almost 10 years. So when I walked in Thornton today all of a sudden I started noticing all the employees which there was about sixth of them all started coming over to the front window by the door and all of them looking out at the Ambulance,,, secretly having some sort of conversation between the employees, I went back and grabbed the soda and they continued to what seem to be having secrets and not knowing exactly who was driving it. So I just watched from the back of the store. When I was ready to check out with my soda and a bag of beef jerky I decided to go to the self checkout because I didn't want to have a confrontation with anybody. Just then the manager walks up and says "is that your Ambulance out there" I said yes it is and he says well you can't park there that is a handicap stop. I immediately got defensive and I said "why don't you take another look because you obviously don't know what you're talking about or what you're complaining about". He looked again and saw there was a handicap placard but offered no apologies. He then mentioned well I could park on the side of the building right now and in the future. I mentioned to him I have a very limited amount of space I can walk without assistance, therefore that's why I'm parked in the handicap at the front door. I noticed all the other employees all started looking at other stuff and helping other customers because I think maybe they were slightly embarrassed but nevertheless I never gotten an apology. In my opinion, I really feel I should take this to a good ADA Attorney and Sue Thornton's for their lack of the ADA rules and regulations..

This review is based solely on my experience using the restroom at this gas station…read more Let me preface this story by saying that I had to go to the bathroom so badly that my muscles were aching. Certainly in the top 5 most urgent times I've had to use the washroom. Let me say next that I had the option to go to several other places to relieve myself, including a McDonald's across the street but, I decided to go with Shell--I've had good experiences with the cleanliness of their restrooms in the past and this is a nicer area so, heck, I went for it. First, the restrooms were left unlocked- a fact I did not find out until I waited in line behind 3 other customers (remember how bad I had to go?) well, I made my way over to the restroom and was immediately greeted by the following: -a toilet that was constantly flushing. -paper towels covering 35%-55% of the floor. -a discarded pair of boxer shorts in the garbage. -racist writings adorning two of the four walls. Now, don't get me wrong. I did my business and made it out alive. It's also clear that the bathroom had a nice skeleton--the walls were nice and the floor was nicely tiled. It was just unkempt and confusingly filthy. In case of emergency, this washroom is doable but I'd avoid it if all possible. I for one will make an effort to try the combination gas station-mcdonalds if ever the emergency again arises.

This station is in peaceful Crystal Lake. The manager was downright irate with me and literally, just kept reminding me that she was the MANAGER, rather than hearing me out. It was totally uncalled for and unprofessional. Given the attitude of management here, as well as the policy of pre-pay at Circle K. I'm out. I will get my gas at the Mobil down the street, where they are truly friendly, service-minded and do not reprimand their customers for paying AFTER filling up and gathering things like food, beverages, washer fluid, car washes, propane, etc. Sorry Circle K, this was the straw that broke the camel's back. Good luck with your new management.
