This place is always a madhouse inside and outside between the volume and homeless people. Not to mention taking 20 mins to get a sandwich.

Ever since they put in the self-checkout I get in and get out without any problems

If you’ve spent more than 15 minutes in this Wawa it is proven to give you more antibodies than any Covid booster.

Not only is it chaotic, I got my credit card skimmed at one of the tanks pre-COVID. I now avoid that place like the plague.

That place before 9 am is a contractor madhouse. Unhinged.

I used to only go there at like 4:30am before work and it was no problem. Started a new job that starts at 10 and now I understand how crazy that Wawa can be. Places this chaotic I just tell myself are closed and go somewhere else

Used to be worse before the Sheetz opened. And I'd imagine once the new Wawa opens at Drybridge Road and Route 60 it'll draw even more people away.

I'd say they all are. Westchester Wawa is next to my company's office and is full of guys in yellow jackets and work boots before 8am. Sometimes power linemen show up in their giant bucket trucks and block several gas pumps for 15 mins.

Airport Dr Wawa is pretty chaotic. Saw a girl flip 7 times into the now Sheetz lot across the street at noon on a Wednesday a couple years ago
….. Hoagiefest, perhaps?

I only used it one time and accidentally scanned an item twice and tried to take it off. It just kept repeating something like ask an associate for help but it was so LOUD lmao. I got embarrassed and just walked out without anything lol

I was there earlier today only because I was so low on gas I was afraid I’d run out if I didn’t stop. Homeless folks at both entrances/exits. Chaotic parking around the gas pumps. I’m always happy to leave there.

Seen multiple drug deals go down in that parking lot. Still prefer it to the Exxon next door though because I've never had the homeless people come up and talk to me at the Wawa

Can you imagine if it was as big as Boulevard Wawa?

Check out the Wawa near the Brook Rd Walmart I had some guy ask for money and when I told him no punched my drivers side window and proceeded to chase my car as I tried to dodge everything to get the hell away from him
WashCaps95 t1_j6fhu6n wrote
The problem really I have with it really is the parking lot, Especially if your trying to turn in from Ellen Road.

Why are people so afraid to use it?! I'm always in and out bypassing 10 people in line. It's great

Is Wawa only for office workers now?
FearingEmu1 t1_j6fzj06 wrote
You sound insulted. Wasn't insulting the fact that contractor dudes show up to Wawa. Funny enough, the line worker bucket truck fleets that clog up pumps at Wawa some mornings (not like they pump and immediately move) often block landscapers and other vehicles that require diesel to do their jobs, since the Westchester Wawa only has a few pumps that are diesel.
Colt1911-45 t1_j6g7u6d wrote
The Wawa on Brook Rd is about the same. For some reason it's the home of sketchy box trucks with NY plates in the morning. It's also full of homeless people standing by the entrance asking for money.
DancyElephant12 t1_j6ga5mx wrote
People buying gas or tobacco, I assume.
OngakubakaRecords t1_j6gclwm wrote
I used to be one of them
StarGraz3r84 t1_j6gd10i wrote
Wawa used to be a place of magic and wonder. In the past 10 years +/- it like everyone has caught on now and drained all the magic and joy out of it. I don't go to them anymore because all they do is make me sad.

Yea I use the staples mill one and there will be 2 big ass lines and I’ll just walk up and use the self checkout

My fiancé did this. I just paid for the second item and grabbed it on the way out. They turned that volume ALL the way up

It wouldn’t even be that bad if people didn’t park at the goddam pump while they spend twenty minutes inside
Frosty48 t1_j6glbv2 wrote
I read that gas station and the surrounding area had like 1000 911 calls in a year or some unbelievably large number.
Frosty48 t1_j6gliby wrote
Here we go, not quite that insane, but 2000 calls in 5 years. That's over 1/day
DontTattleOnThisEMT t1_j6gpruq wrote
Yeah, that place plays opera to try and get people (homeless) to stop loitering.
SadValleyThrowaway t1_j6gw065 wrote
It’s over a 50/50 that someone will all you for money at wawa. Usually when you walk in, but several times someone came up to me at the pump

If they have the lottery, that's the usual hold-up at most convenience stores.

I don't think I go into a Wawa without grabbing gas, smokes, or beer, so...no self check out for me.
TheBoyLindsay t1_j6hu7c1 wrote
I used to live down Brook in Bellevue and can confirm that this Wawa makes the Boulevard one look like a gallery opening at The Met. I've been there when you had to get an employee to unlock the beer cave for you, been accosted in the parking lot for having no cash to give away, and have def waited over 20m for a sandwich before.

Oh god, yeah, that place is an unhinged bizarro-world. If Arthur Ashe is Thunderdome, Brook Road might has well be an actual deathmatch.

I’ve noticed that some of those sketchy box trucks from NY are buying their limits of cartons of “cheap” smokes.
Colt1911-45 t1_j6j1765 wrote
Could be. Most of them are lined up for the pumps. Idk why. There are plenty of truck stops 10 miles north that pump way faster than the slow ass Wawa pumps.

my post was colored by the fact that it was super busy (per usual) just the day prior and I was waiting behind a unattended car at a pump with the nozzle in the car and then the owner of the car came walking from the other side of the plaza with a bag full of chick fil a. motherfucker parked at a busy gas station and went to buy food with their car at the pump.
getting a huge kick out of the people who care about this subject enough to toss 6 downvotes my way though LOL
pcptornado11 t1_j6lmv8h wrote
Damn, that's annoying (especially since there is that unexplainable second chick fil a with a drive-through across the street on broad). I've never had any issues there and that's my preferred gas station.
fractalflatulence t1_j6nyjcd wrote
Mine too but I didnt interepret "chaotic" as having "issues"
the place is kinda a cluster fuck at peak hours because everyone wants that cheap kroger fuel points gasolina hombre.
I feel like 90% of the time I go there's always traffic jockying for pumps
BureauOfBureaucrats t1_j6e12hy wrote
I was there today and noted how unusually dead it was. Around 11am. I normally joke about how that Wawa resembles a busy Klingon trading post due to the usual high volume.
