I'll go to Wawa, given the choice. That isn't hard to do in Central Florida though. Cheesesteak 24/7? Hot food on the road, 24/7? gently caress yes! Besides that, this little independent Shell a block away has treated me well for as long as I've lived here. The owner finds good people and then pays the poo poo out of them. He owns three stores around here and they're all run the same. Would I stick to his stores if I didn't know he owned them? Maybe not. But they did build a 7-11 across the street and no one from here goes there, so it's not just me being picky. Speedway reminds me of that 7-11; plenty of product but no one is buying. Too bad for OTR drivers, they're set up as tiny truck stops here. Most of them have dedicated diesel pumps, trucker poo poo for sale, and a fairly aggressive rewards program.

The news tracked it going through town for a couple of days before it beached itself. You may be onto something. "Former taxidermist rides fake dinosaur to escape flash flood terror, tells Sinclair to eat a D."

I have a Wawa credit card that gives me 5 cents off every gallon of Wawa gas. I don't own a gas guzzler or drive that much. Essentially Wawa pays me a few bucks a month for my customer loyalty, and that's enough. I'm loyal to any business that is willing to shell out even a pittance to buy my loyalty, many people are, and more corporations need to learn that.

Ghost Leviathan posted:After my grandmother passed away, they had some tables set up with various jewellery and knick-knacks for any of the family to take as keepsakes, at first giving everyone a turn with the early stuff but later just letting anyone grab whatever they wanted that was left. It's nice having some familiar keepsakes around. I'm not sure how they handled the big stuff, though. After my wife's grandmother passed away, we were going through her house and found a whole bunch of vintage sex stuff. Not toys or anything, most of it was books on how to prepare for your first time, what a husband expects, etc. But there was this vaginal graduated dilator kit that came in a pretty cool looking box. I wanted to keep it, but the wife was a bit squeemish about keeping a series of objects that had been up grandma's cooter.

QuickTrip though, privately owned and they rank high on good places to work. I mean, it’s no Wawa or Sheetz, but it’s what we’ve got in the Southeast.

I was stuck in the Philidelphia Airport Hilton for work for a week, had a rental I could drive to dinner, but don't want to drive just for that, plus hotel had a free drink happy hour from 5-6pm. Only things in walking range were Applebees, the Hilton Restaurant, and Wawa, drat right I ate Wawa sandwiches for dinner every night. Only bad thing about it was that Wawa doesn't sell beer, because Pennsylvania is a stupid commonwealth hellhole, so I had to drive to get beer. I also ate at a famous Cheesesteak place every day for lunch, and I'm STILL trying to shed the ten loving pounds I gained that week.

I usually go to whatever's convenient on my route(BP is evil but I'm not under the impression any other big chain gas station is any better, and we don't have Quicktrip around here) but some of them have started blaring ads at you as you fill up. Any gas station that does that is automatically on my shitlist, especially since none of them make the gas cheaper in exchange for making you listen to tinny bullshit about soda or the new Ford whatever.

Around here, those ad tvs have a column of 4 buttons on either side of them. 2nd or 3rd down on the right side of the screen mutes the audio track. Ever since I learned that from someone's helpfully sharpied "mute" note, I hit that button every single time that I fill up.

I drive an EV, and I pretty much only stop at gas stations for beer. Except the once a month I gas up the truck and dirt bike. It's great.

Just having grown up with WaWa , it doesn’t quite compare, especially in the sandwich selections. But again, as noted above, you take what you can get.

I miss QuickTrip, they don't have them here in ohio. I always loved when I knew which QTs had the orange cream frozen drinks, because those were heavenly for a hangover for some reason. Here in Cincinnati, we have United Dairy Farmers. UDF isn't amazing,but they have good ice cream.

The Speedway in Orlando charged a lot more for gas than other local station, and the gas was poo poo. I had a lovely car that needed premium or it would run like rear end, and every time I forgot and got gas at Speedway it would run like poo poo for a week. The one near the airport charged 2-3 bucks more per gallon for gas than anywhere else because it was the last gas station all the rental cars drove past. gently caress speedway.

Using malls as distribution centers isn't the worst idea in the world. Only problem is DC's need quick in/out traffic for freight trucks and there's nothing easy or quick about getting in and out of a mall. They're almost always next to interstates though, so program the traffic lights to compensate and it could work.

I've never been happier to have seen my local mall's Sears having turned into a Dick's Sporting Goods/Round 1 Entertainment place. We don't need a fifth Amazon Fulfillment Center opening up in our area at this point.

Apple is doing hard work w their in-store COVID measures. I had to go in for a repair and it took me weeks to lock down a time. I wouldn’t go near a mall otherwise in this climate. Especially as their wasn’t a mandatory/enforced mask situation. It’s their Mall of America location. And I was flabbergasted to see an Amazon store in there and people lined up to go in. Like... what the gently caress????? You’re risking your safety for a store of a website??? Ugh. Malls.

No saving boxes, no labels, no waiting for the guy to come out from behind the plexiglass at the liquor store to point his phone at your package then tell you you’re all set without giving you a receipt.
