Goddamn Wawa!

Post by HemlockGrey »

Fucking bastards! They've jacked up the prices of everything! Tell me, is a can of Mountain Dew worth 1.50 to you? A typical can? No? Didn't think so! So someone tell me WHY THE FUCK WAWA SAYS IT IS?

I take it WAWA is the name of a local chain of convenience stores? They jack up the prices because they can. Did you buy the can anyway?

I wouldn't drink Mountain Dew if it was free, but that's just taste.

So long as a cup of regular coffee and a pack of cigarettes costs the same, I'm fine. That and a meatball hoagie with provolone. Mmmmmm...meatball hoagie with provolone.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

What the hell is a WAWA? A company name? That sounds worse than Ding Ding Dang.

Do you intend to continue buying drinks there? If you do, then its quite clear why, you charge what people will pay. Though its not like your town is lacking in alternatives.

Its awesome name makes up for it.

The deli down from our new office charges 5 bucks for a ham and cheese sub, and 3 bucks for a bottle of soda. :shock:
That said, the sandwhiches there are VERY good. Too bad it's so goddamned expensive.

Yeah, well, everyone else has jacked up the prices as well, even the friggin' school.

Dang.... Here at school, bottles of coke are .75-1.00, and cans are ~.60. You can buy any candy bar for .55 cents, and a sandwich for 1.50-2.50, depending on the type.

Umm, no. You're going to hate me, but I can still get a can of the same for half that, maybe less.

Of course, you are living in the Northeast, and everything up there is jacked up.

Wawa and Sheetz have both raised their prices for food and drinks. A bottle of water runs $1.70. But its probably how they make up for dirt cheap gas.

Well that sucks, guess I'll bring my own drinks next time I'm up there. A place two blocks from me sells 2 liter bottles for 1.79 or so.

Buy a case of 24 at the local warehouse superstore. A can works out for me to be $0.31 CDN ($0.22 US). You could even bring them to your school and sell them to your friends for a profit, undercutting the school's monopoly price.

A couple people tried that at my high school. I believe they were told to stop, because they were endangering the safety of the students ("How do we know your not posioning the drinks?"). I think one was suspended.

Schools can be extremely abusive monopolies (especially concerning food), employing tactics that MS look like a saint.
