There’s a gas station on New Cut Road that’s become more than just a place to grab gas and a Gatorade. If you’re a local, you already know. If you’re not, buckle up. Because the Circle K on New Cut is operating in a dimension of its own—part sitcom, part crime drama, and part fever dream.
Locals have long whispered about this Circle K, but in recent months, the whispers have turned into social media explosions. Viral Tik Toks. Reddit threads. Facebook rants. Everyone’s got a story. And they all start the same way:
“The Circle K on New Cut be doin’ too much…”
So what’s really going on at this infamous hotspot?
A Gas Station or a Reality Show Set?
Step into the New Cut Circle K at any hour—yes, any hour—and chances are, you’re walking into something unhinged. Customers argue with cashiers about expired coupons. Strangers start impromptu dance battles in the parking lot. One guy even tried to sell a live raccoon from the back of his beat-up Ford Taurus last week.
“I went in for a Slushie and walked out questioning humanity,” says Brianna, 24, a local college student. “This lady was yelling at the hot dog roller like it owed her money. Then the power went out. But somehow the music stayed on. I think it was just ‘Eye of the Tiger’ on loop. I was scared.”
Cashiers Who Deserve Combat Pay
The employees at New Cut’s Circle K? Certified survivors. These folks deal with things no training manual could prepare them for.
“You learn quick,” says “Big Mike,” who’s worked the late shift for over a year. “First week, someone tried to rob us with a pool noodle. The next day, a guy came in dressed as the Joker and offered me a grilled cheese for free gas.”
Management has installed extra security cameras, panic buttons, and a no-nonsense sign on the bathroom door: “If you break it, YOU fix it.” But still, the madness persists.
“Honestly, I think the store’s on a vortex or something,” Mike adds. “People come in normal, and they leave… different.”
The Circle K Parking Lot: A Portal to Chaos
The chaos doesn’t stop at the doors. The parking lot is straight-up cursed.
Cars regularly park sideways. Fights break out over the last bag of Hot Cheetos. One couple was seen grilling steaks in the back of a pickup—while blasting country remixes of Nicki Minaj.
“Oh, I never park in that lot,” says Reggie, a nearby resident. “It’s not safe. I saw someone get out of their car to fight their own reflection. I’m serious. He squared up with his window.”
Even DoorDash drivers have their limits.
“That Circle K? I don’t accept orders from there anymore,” one gig worker posted on Reddit. “Last time I did, a guy tried to trade me fireworks for a Mountain Dew. I’m not built for that.”
Is Something in the Air?
There are wild rumors swirling about what fuels the chaos.
Some blame the weird fluorescent lighting, which one TikToker claimed “melts your brainwaves.” Others say it’s the cursed microwave, which hasn’t been cleaned since 2014 but still somehow works.
And then there’s the bathroom, which has its own dark legend. No one’s exactly sure what happened in there in 2019, but the incident was bad enough to warrant a full hazmat team and a short-lived priesthood blessing.
“It’s the Bermuda Triangle of gas stations,” said one frequent customer. “But with more lottery tickets.”
Locals: “We Love It… and Fear It.”
Despite all the madness—or maybe because of it—the New Cut Circle K has earned something close to cult status.
“You go there for chaos,” says Malik, 31. “If you want a peaceful errand, go to Walgreens. But if you want a show with your soda? This is the place.”
Someone even made Circle K on New Cut-themed merch. Shirts with slogans like “I Survived a Tuesday at New Cut Circle K” and “Hot Dogs, Fistfights & Faith” have been spotted around town.
Some speculate the gas station is secretly a government experiment to test human behavior under pressure. Others are convinced it’s a low-budget prank show. A few believe it’s haunted.
“We’re not saying it’s aliens,” says one anonymous employee. “But we’re also not not saying it.”
Conclusion: Enter If You Dare
So, is the Circle K on New Cut dangerous? Not exactly. Is it weird? Absolutely. It’s a circus, a soap opera, a spiritual test—and for many, an irreplaceable part of their daily routine.
“If you ain’t been there at midnight on a Saturday, you haven’t lived,” says 19-year-old TikToker Kayla With The Drama. “Last time, someone tried to baptize me with Monster Energy. I cried, but like…in a good way.”
Whether it’s the inexplicable energy, the locals who treat it like a stage, or the employees who deserve hazard pay and a medal, the Circle K on New Cut isn’t just a gas station—it’s an experience.
And yeah. It be doin’ way too much.
