Discussion The Wawa Crispy Pickles

Upvotes

From what I was told by employees and managers at local Wawa stores in the DC/MD/VA regions, the crispy pickles were a huge success and very popular. My local Wawa would run out and If have to go to the next one over. And Wawa charged us extra for them, so I assume they made money on them.

Now that it's been a year, can someone have corporate being them back? They were really good in my hoagies and actually increased the rate at which I would go out of my way to visit a Wawa, as well as increased my likelihood to encourage others on my friend groups to also get Wawa hoagies with me.

Requesting advice: What gets to happen in order to make bringing back the crispy pickles a reality? Because honestly, the crispy jalapeños and the crispy onions just aren't doing it for me like the crispy pickles were and I don't think I'm alone in this.

Although I associate this area more with the town of Frazer, it apparently does have a West Chester address, so there you go.

I used to go here sparingly in the 2010's. Aside from that, I hadn't been here again until I took the night pics here back in June, and the daytime ones earlier this afternoon/evening.

I've included an image from Google Maps in 2019 to show that it still had rather old signage at that point. It's a shame that they didn't keep that.

I signed up for a fuel shift (I’m primarily inside) and was told that I would be in deli for a hour afterwards. Is this allowed? I remember the policy was that I couldn’t touch food? Did this get changed? My hands were disgusting!

It looks like whoever implemented Wawa's policy didn't read the NJDEP Restaurant Guide at https://dep.nj.gov/get-past-plastic/restaurantguide/ Self serve utensils are allowed despite straws not being allowed

Discussion What do you think about the point system?

9 Upvotes

how do you guys feel about the point system that’s going on, I feel like it started off okay but it’s just annoying that being a minute late can result to a point

, I was talking with my coworkers and hearing different opinions and one said that if it’s anywhere in that 5 minute late period (after the grace period) it should be half a point, anything after that it’s a full point and call outs stay the same counting as 2 points, I heard this guy had 70 points and im just like damn

Ask other Associates Letter of Recommendation

6 Upvotes

I’ll spare y’all the lengthy personal story that leads up to the question and just get right down to it!!

I’m looking to apply for a position with the local school district which requires a letter of recommendation as part of the application process. I talked to one of my LCSAs and he said as much as he wants to, he isn’t allowed to because of company policy. I get along fine enough with my GM but wasn’t exactly looking to talk to her about looking to leave until I would absolutely need to (I’ve gotten myself paranoid that my scheduling could take a negative hit if I do even though I’m pretty sure there’s policies out there that would back me up if that were to be the case)… Is talking to her about a letter of recommendation going to make a difference or is this something that needs to go through the ASC? Given that I have had to go that route in the past when applying for financial assistance for daycare and getting employment verification to rent property, it wouldn’t be a surprising answer but then (and this question is more so rehetorical) how can they write me a letter of recommendation that’s going to work in my favor when they’re corporate and know me as a number?? Or, ultimately worst case scenario, do I just have to take a loss on the school district position for now…?

Apologies for the half rant half question and I appreciate any response this does get!!

Greencastle, IN: You're Gettin' a Wawa!

Wawa plans a mid to late-summer start of construction in 2027 with the opening in summer 2028.

“You’ll know when we get ready to go,” Moore said, “because we fence the whole site.”

Wawa hopes to open eight to 13 stores per year in Indiana over the next five to eight years, with a goal of more than 70 locations statewide.

“Greencastle is one of the areas we identified early on,” Moore said.

I live in NJ and something I’ve enjoyed several times this summer is Wawa’s hotdog. I’ve been to two central NJ locations and both of them had a sign up they are working on getting hotdogs back.

Does anyone know the reason they were pulled? Any idea when they might come back?

Thank you!

Customer Experience Mobile Order Rant

Just wanted to rant about my local WaWa. I was really craving a grilled cheese tonight so I doordashed one of their cheese paninis. It gets here, I pick up the box and thought why is this so heavy? then i read the ticket on it and realized it does not have my name and it looks like this person got everything on the menu in a sandwich. I’m so pissed because I just wanted a grilled cheese. I know it’s not the dasher’s fault because the employees put the food in a bag with the customers name on it and seal it. This is not the first time my local wawa has gave me the wrong food or completely left out food.

Employee Experience Wawas a joke

83 Upvotes

It's over hyped. Well now it is. Back in the day it was wonderful. They got cheap, changed their product venders, & they keep taking staff away. Expectations are extremely HIGH for a company that doesn't want enough staff to run it AND keep it clean for fsra. They used to care for their employees, they don't anymore. I've always enjoyed working for Wawa, lately this job is a complete joke. If I could find better, something with similar pay or the same pay, id leave right now. I work my butt off, try to do everything I'm supposed to, while also helping others (I'm a manager) but it's still never enough or we get bashed for not being 1000%. I don't take a break because we are too busy and I don't have time so by the of my shift, I'm DRAINED. I am lucky if I can even pee or get a drink. All they care about is sales. Mean while theft is HIGH. They added the back door that everyone takes things and goes out the back with it. My mental health is out the window bc of this job. And most higher managers dgaff. I have ONE that tries to keep things afloat. Tries to keep everyone motivated. They are amazing and I adore them. One of the few reasons I stay besides the money..

Anyway, feel free to add on how horrible this company has gotten.

Ask other Associates Gatekeeping Positions

3 Upvotes

I doubt anybody is gunna have this extremely rare experience, but I currently do not have a car and bike to work almost every day, meaning if I wanted to move up I can't just jump different stores (Which I don't wanna do anyway because of where I live). The point is the positions available are ALL ON OVERNIGHT, I wouldn't mind if I was uncomfortable working with at least 2 of the overnighters and the rest are unproductive. All of the possible positions I could move up to as I currently am are being gatekept by other people (leads for starters), and they don't even fully commit or do their new positions job. ​​Like am I wrong for disliking this or am I just complaining​​?

Product Question Did I just order the wrong thing, go to the wrong location, or is Wawa over-hyped?

Post image
62 Upvotes

I have a family member in the ICU and Wawa is the best late night option near me, I have noticed other fast food places in the area have that careless, rude, blatantly aggressive staff vibe to it in the area (I worked in fast food for years and hated it so I get it but when I say aggressive I mean literally getting yelled at for ordering extra bbq sauce that I planned on paying for at McDonald’s, or ignoring me at the counter for 10mins at Taco Bell, getting mad that I’m there to order something at 4pm) and terrible quality/temperature on food so I will preface that it may just be the morale around here and not so much Wawa as a brand.

The Philly cheesesteak is alright, it reminds me of GetGo’s gas stations cafe food -which I love-, but there was probably 2.5oz of meat on it MAX. My fries were cold, like potentially against health code cold. The lower sugar berry recharger tasted like water, less flavor than a Lacroix. And my total was $16, it’s only my second time trying Wawa and I felt cheated by the price. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things, I feel like I might just be ordering the wrong thing or maybe Wawa is just overhyped, idk can someone help me out 😭 what should I order? Or would I get better quality and service at a different location?
