A TikTok video captured a scene at a Florida gas station where a customer continued to fuel their vehicle while police cars with flashing lights filled the parking lot of a nearby convenience store. The video, posted by a creator named Ayla Core with the handle @aylacore420, shows the unusual moment amid an active police response.
The footage opens with a close-up view of a gas pump’s digital display at night, showing the cost and gallons of gas. The camera pans to show the open door of a car before returning to focus on the pump’s numbers. The video’s caption identifies the location as a Circle K in Florida and mentions a robbery.
In the video, a voice, which appears to be the customer, can be heard explaining the situation. “I was about to go in, but they said there was a robbery, so I can’t go in, but I’m still getting gas,” the speaker said.
Video shows police activity at the store while the transaction continues
The camera then pans to show the Circle K convenience store in the background. The video shows several police cars with their lights flashing in the parking lot, along with other vehicles. The store’s lights are on, and people appear to be inside or near the entrance.
The footage returns to a close-up of the gas pump display. The numbers on the display change as the gas is pumped, indicating the transaction is in progress. This continues despite the visible police activity at the store in the background.
The video’s public caption reads, “Only in Florida #circlek #robbery #circlekfuel #tallahassee #florida.” The hashtag #tallahassee suggests the incident occurred in Florida’s capital city.
Viewers in the comments shared their own experiences and opinions
The video’s comment section featured reactions from viewers, with some discussing the location and others sharing similar stories. One comment asked, “What Circle K is this?” while another stated, “that’s why i avoid that circle k. the one on orange and monroe is safer than that one.”
A different commenter shared a personal anecdote, writing, “I went there to get gas one night and a guy in nothing but his underwear and handcuffs walked up to me saying he got robbed.” Another comment referenced recent violence in the area, noting, “Happy you are okay. There was a Shooting @ the Mall yesterday. Tallahassee is getting bad.”
Some comments focused on the humor or irony of the situation. One viewer remarked, “The real crime is gas price,” while another attempted to pinpoint the specific location, asking, “Oh no thats gotta be the one on pkwy right?” The comments indicate the video resonated with viewers, prompting them to share local knowledge and personal experiences related to the area and the gas station chain. The situation at the gas station is just one example of a tense encounter involving a person in their vehicle and a claim of criminal activity, as a Louisiana woman in a car accident claimed the other driver threatened her with ice and said she works for ICE.
