Story of the Day...Wawa -v- Sheetz (the quiet gas war)

Younger men and women may consume hot dogs and nachos and hoagies and candy for breakfast. Two places that do this well are Wawa and Sheetz. I've never met either that I did not love. But we always love our most talented kid more. C'mon, we do do, we really do.

Sheetz is better. Everyone is doing it. But wait, they're not. Pittsburghers and yinzers put down french fry filled sandwiches to utter "Whut the hell?" when I ask "Wawa?" is a sophisticated eastern Pennsylvania accent. To Wawa they respond "Sheetz" and what a sweet Sheetz awaits.

Brighter, cheaper, tastier, cleaner, bigger, better, sexier and every -er that makes you smile and not puke.

Wawa, I used to love you but I had to kill you. You are getting dirtier and meaner and saltier.

Sheetz has MTO which basically means that red-shirted, smiling Sheetz-ees will make you anything from scratch. Try the nachos, what the fuck they're insane. I sit in a straight jacket after these nachos, they're really that insane, serious insanity.

Last week after tennis, feeling hot and funky, Wawa had no fake slurpees. The machine was out-of-order.

Out-of-order ain't in the Sheetz-ees vocabulary. That's why Sheetz will take over the streets and Wawa, you better watch your back.

It is interesting to note that a Minneasota forum that tracks gas prices and convenience store current events (there's an organization for everything in America, it's offical) reports that a gas war between Wawa and Sheetz in northern Virginia is driving gas prices down an average of 40 cents. The blurry Pennsylvania line between Sheetz and Wawa superstores may be our petrol salvation.
