Mike B. Fisher – Absolutely. String Theory is the theory of everything? I think not. It’s bacon, plain and simple.

I believe you’ve hit upon an important universal truth here: Every important piece of technology requires a “more bacon” button.

I propose we call this the Wawa maxim.

Bath and Body — I’m all about less confusion. And I’d think the people who make the sandwiches would appreciate not having to keep asking what customers want on their items.

Brian — Well, I’m guessing they can’t spit on your stuff out in the open — God, I hope not — but I wouldn’t doubt they make fun of me for hitting that “extra mayo” button over and over.

Nichole — Another Wawa fan! Oh, and I know they’re at least thinking “What’s up with her and the bacon. Geez, woman. Give it a rest.” I used to work in fast food. Talk about a reality show. Thanks for dropping by on an older post.

Ahhh.. finally someone who appreciates Wawa as much as I do… worked there for 8 yrs and Wawa has helped pay my way through college. And Wawa is so great that after I graduated college and became a social worker.. I went back to work on the weekends because I missed the customers so much..here’s a hint, just because you order from the “touch screen” doesn’t mean we won’t talk to you as we make your hoagie and if you’d rather not talk to us (like you Kathy) then that’s fine too.. we don’t discriminate! And as for Brian… majority of us don’t spit in your hoagie.. that’s gross. But we ARE watching you, its like having your own lil reality show everytime you work

I’m glad everyone loves the quiet, personal experience of ordering a sandwich from wawa… unlike subways where they stare at you like you’re crazy when you order… unfortunately.. i have to inform you that as the maker of those wawa sandwiched you all know and love, i still stare at you, make fun of you, and come up w/ lots of creative nicknames for the fat man who orders extra mayo and bacon… and then smile after spitting on your sandwich and wrap it up nice and neat while your on the other side of the store paying for it completely oblivious to what’s going on around you. Thanks you again valued guest, and have a great day

You know Kathy, they have a similar system in Au Bon Pain (cafe chain here in Boston). You mark off the type of bread and what you want on the sandwich, write in your name and give it to the sandwich bar. No confusions. It’s amazing! I wish all places did that.

Bath and Body — I’d almost rather write it down and hand it to the sandwich prepper. They can read it as many times as necessary, as long as I don’t have to speak!

Ordering sandwiches can be extremely annoying when you have to repeat yourself multiple times before they get your order right.

ann of the shampoo bag — This is hysterical! Will you start your own blog already or do I have to beat you? (Don’t worry, folks. She’s my sister. I’m entitled.) I will never, ever try to get coffee at a Wawa. Twenty pots brewing before me are far too many to sort through and look like a fool doing it. Kudos to you for making it to the finish line!

I’ve never ordered sandwiches from WaWa, but I’ve ordered coffee at the kiosk DURING THE MORNING RUSH! It was my first time doing it, and boy was I scared and nervous. The people around me were all expert in assembling their coffee…first grab the appropriate sized cup with the matching lid..eeek…then find the coffee flavor you want..OMG, where’s the plain freakin pot!…then as you’re hurriedly pouring hot liquid into a cup, eyes feverishly scanning for the cream…oh, geez, full fat milk, 2% milk, 1% milk, skim milk, half and half, fatfree half and half, for the love of God, help me sweet Jesus..then it’s on to the sweeteners…white sugar, pink sugar, blue sugar, yellow sugar…I’m starting to sweat behind my knees, all I need is the stirrer, now, it’s almost over. Oh, look, little sleeves to wrap around the cup…which way does it go on!!!!???? Crap, time to check out. Keep moving, don’t talk, have the exact change ready, act like you’ve done this a hundred times. Whew, I did it. Made it to the car without getting any dirty looks. If I had known it was going to be such a stressful event, I would have practiced at an off peak time.

JD at I Do Things — I’ll pop one in the mail tomorrow. You can never have enough Junk Drawer magnets. It’s a good thing!

I heard it! I still want a magnet, tho! JD at I Do Things's last blog post..I Am Fat (and Disgusted) so you don’t have to be

JD at I Do Things — And an awesome 100th comment to boot! You should win a prize, but I think I’ve thrust all my junk drawer merchandise on you already. How ’bout a standing ovation? (claps uproariously) Did you hear it!?

Chris — I watched a guy ahead of me the last time I was at Wawa punch through the display at lightning speed. And he pressed a LOT of buttons. I don’t know what he ordered, but I suspect he needed Tums afterward. I tipped my hat to him. He was the professional I hope to become some day.

Chris (Casey) — Yes, the woman sounds clear and pleasant. But I’m seriously missing Phil. I don’t know what to call her, but Kathybot has a nice ring to it.

I had to hear Phil do your blog. I think the Woman is much nicer. What are you going to name her? Kathiebot? LOL! Chris (Casey)'s last blog post..The First Butterfly of the Summer at our House

I agree 11 billion percent. Subway SUCKS. You always get this bitter, robotic idiots who NEVER listen. At Wawa, you can play with the machine, order whatever disgusting combination you want...and no one will ever know. Chris's last blog post..New Rusty Nail Supreme Pizza!
