I am a frequent customer at Sheetz for it is close to my location and open 24 hours a day, making it very convenient and prone to very little competition in the area. I believe that Sheetz is taking this to their advantage based on the slow service and poor food quality.
One time on a Thursday night around 10 PM, I was hungry and very tired from studying for the past 3 hours. I was very eager to get food and get back to my dorm quickly and eat and get some sleep. Unfortunately, my hopes were destroyed like a dying star when I ordered a Chicken Cheeseburger that kept me waiting, standing in the store, for about 40 minutes. I finally got the food, and took a cup from the fountain and poured myself a water. As I left I was quickly stopped by a security guard who took himself way too seriously, because water from the fountain cost 50 cents! I guess courtesy cups are in the past.
I stormed out and back to my dorm and thought to myself, this must be one damn good sandwich if it took me an hour to walk one block and get this meal. Once again, I was disappointed. The sandwich seemed to be thrown together as if my 5-year old nephew made it. It tasted mediocre at best, for the lettuce and tomato lacked color and taste, leading me to believe they were old.
Overall, my experiences at Sheetz are typically bad. They seem to take their convenient location to their advantage, which is not appreciated by the customers and I. There is not much to say on their gas and regular grocery items, however their fast food options and general atmosphere leave me disappointed. While you may be greeted with an obviously fake smile and unenthusiastic "Hey, how are you?", their somewhat seemingly polite disposition does not mirror the quality of their service. read more
