The TALE of TWO CITIES and just like in the Dickens' novel if you make the wrong choice here you just might DIE!
First, I need to point out that this review is solely for the gas station portion of this busy WAWA. The store itself is a typical WAWA with mundane grocery products at extraordinary prices, precut deli meat shipped in so that sandwiches never taste fresh (Although the prices aren't bad.), lots of cigarette choices if you smoke (Ok, so there's another death option but not the one I had planned to include for this review.), a limited dairy section that is odd for what once was a dairy convenience store, some hot items to go like pretzels, egg sandwiches, and empanadas (At least I think they still sell them.). Definitely nothing to write home about and if you are looking for a good hoagie/submarine sandwich then you need to go to a sandwich shop or a place that specializes in hoagies/subs or even pizza joints because any of those locations make a better hoagie than WAWA does because of that precut meat and cheese.
And a side note ... I have always found the employees INSIDE the store friendly. And, the store has been clean.
But, today who knows I may have come face to face with death or perhaps a debilitating illness for the second time in a row at the gas pumps!
Now, I don't know about most of you but I can guess that if you are reading this review you are amongst the literally billions of human beings who hope to continue living beyond the next few weeks. Unless you are suffering from some severe health challenge you are looking forward to better days with good health ... well if that is the case DO NOT GET YOUR CAR FILLED UP WITH GAS at THIS WAWA!!!
Now, some of you may be out-of-staters who don't know that in New Jersey we don't pump our own gas. This is usually a very good thing ... people with dis-ABILITIES don't have to get out of their cars to figure out how pumps work and pump their own gas. The elderly don't have to step out of their cars during the worst weather of the season to fill up their cars because New Jersey's legislators have realized it is a good thing and a safe thing to have gas station attendants pump gas!! And, frankly if you have ever had gas overflow land on your best work suit or dress (I have ... no, not a dress but a suit.) you know how that ruins your day.
For the second time in a row when I have pulled up to the pump at the WEST DEPTFORD CROWN POINT ROAD WAWA gas service area I have come face-to-face with an attendant not wearing a mask. Breathing down at me through my car window his 'breath moisture molecules (Notice I didn't want to write spit nor snot.)' working their way towards my face he asked what will it be bub. Ok, he didn't say "bub" and I can't remember what he called me because I just was panicked knowing his "stuff" was headed my way (I should note that as I write this two of my friends are hospitalized (One in her late 80's and the other in his early 50's) with the Coronavirus and it is extremely doubtful either of them will be alive next week.
His rudeness, boldness, arrogance, stupidity (you get the picture) in not wearing a mask when he has no idea whether or not he is asymptomatic is outrageous!! The fact that no member of the WAWA WEST DEPTFORD management team has noticed what must be this guy's ongoing "service" for customers is just as outrageous. I wish I could give them a negative 10 and if he has the virus then I might have it and I have a daughter with severe health challenges who could get it from me. The driver in the car behind me might have it too now because my smiley guy with all the spit and spittle dripping towards us also took care of that customer without a mask on.
After the last visit I wrote to WAWA's corporate office and received an email from a representative whose last name apparently is a single letter because that is how she signed off (Of course no phone number.). She told me that the WAWA leadership team would address the situation with the local management so that it never happened again. GUESS WHAT ... THEY ARE SHOOTING CRAPS 60 miles from Atlantic City with people's lives and health and obviously did not address the problem seriously.
So, if you don't see any more reviews from me in another 2 or 3 weeks it might be that "it's not a far far better rest than I have ever known" all because this guy didn't mask. read more
