When i lived in philly i found myself eating mostly sandwiches, weather it be hoagies, or deli's. All my friends talk about wanting to go to Geno's for a cheesesteak, but i cant even recall the last time i had a cheesesteak.
Wawa's convenient...but that's about it. I never go for something Wawa-exclusive. Only reason to get any of their hoagies/other similar **** is if you're super far away from a real sandwich shop.
You dont realize how awesome Wawa really is until you move somewhere that doesnt have any. I moved to CO from South Jersey a couple years ago, and even a 711 is scarce. If you want coffee or need to pick up some milk or something, youre driving to a Starbucks or a grocery store usually. Im used to having a CVS and/or Wawa 5 minutes away no matter where I am. I miss it greatly.

I agree. You being to appreciate wawa much more when you are away from it. I've lived in small southern towns where WaWa would be the finest dining option.

I know exactly what you mean. There are a lot of places in VA where people rely on hunting to eat.

I grew up with WAWA, moved down the turnpike and Sheetz is everywhere. Wawa is the NHL, Sheetz is the ECHL. It looks like a movie theater inside and the food is even worse. I live 2 min from a Sheetz and 20 from Wawa, I make the drive.
I feel like a burger is what dumb rednecks eat. Hoagie is for the refined northeast my friend.
I find the irony here to be that Wawa's hoagies pale in comparison to most sandwich places in the South Jersey area. Primo's is outstanding, but even most small pizza places give you a better hoagie (albeit more expensive). I love wawa for their drinks and that you can stumble in hammered at 4am and get a sandwich. However as a lunch option it just can't compare to a place like Primos IMO.
Would that point be that you called Briere a sniper and then changed your argument when you knew that claim was false?

The beauty of places like WaWa is their convenience though. I don't say "damn I could use a hoagie, I'm going to WaWa." There are a ton of places I'd go for a hoagie before WaWa. Its the fact that you can get a decent hoagie whenever you want that makes a place like that awesome. I can't tell you how many times I've chauffeured drunken friends to WaWa at like 3 in the morning for a hoagie or donuts or something.

I agree. In fact my grand parents live right next to a primo's but to be honest there are a couple other hoagie shops on the main line that are way better that we go to. But where im at id eat freakin wawa every day, compared to the lame **** they have down here. 7/11 ugh.

7/11 has slurpees you can put booze in. They sell 40s.
Wawa is incredible. I am incredibly upset with two things, however:
(1) They stopped letting you toast your sandwich
(2) They got rid of the grilled/breaded chicken breast sandwiches. Now you can only order "chicken strip" sandwiches, which don't approach the deliciousness of the old chicken sandies.
Discuss Wawa here! Do you think it sucks? Do you think people who thinks it suck are lunatics? Is Sheetz truly better?
All depends which you want. Here in jersey I stop there for gas and a paper. Their subs are the worst and the pretzels at the counter are good for paperweights. All subs start with the bread and wawa's has no taste. If you want a good pretzel, stop at a Philly Pretzel Factory. There is another good place on the White Horse Pike in Stratford. The South Jersey Soft Pretzel and Water Ice Company. Their mustard is awesome to. You want a good sub, stop at Carmen's in Bellmawr. But you had better bring your appetite. Here is a tip. Has anyone ever heard of Murphy's supermarket? Check out one of their subs. The rolls are out of this world and the meats and cheeses are very good. I used to buy at Wawa all the time . But cannot bring myself to buy a sub there. I do stop there in the winter and get a large chili. Have them put some melted cheese and some hot peppers in with it!

Lame. Missing Wawa slightly less now. Do they still have ciabatta melts?
