That's all, thought the folks in NJ and PA would like to know.. guess there's a few in other states. For some reason Wawa doesn't have a presence in western PA. Beats going to Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts or 7-11, which are kinda pricey. Anyway - https://www.wawa.com/ - coffee - free - any size (was what I was told)
yup
Well, fuck. Guess I could make an 8 hour trip for some free coffee...
That's dedication, I'd only go half an hour. There's a sandwich shop right up the road from there, coffee's a few cents cheaper and just as good if not better. Sammiches are cheap too... lunchmeat generally is
I love free coffee! :)
Well there's always AA or NA meetings, and other odd public gatherings where crank is freely available. Free juice and cookies when you donate blood, but that's not coffee. What I really miss are salad bars and free fixin' stations, like Burger King and Roy Roger's used to have... the former was abused by Metallica when they used to live in the Bay area, or at least, that's what my Dark Horse comic said about them.
Last time I was over at my cousin's house, he was still using a thick foil ashtray from Burger King. Can only wonder if the rest of Western civilization still makes cheap foil ashtrays for use in fast food joints... kinda doubt it.
Nope they stopped that a long time ago, when they stopped people from smoking in restaurants. No more foil ashtrays. No more Slurpies in gas stations I miss those I am not even sure if 7 eleven carries them anymore. I live in the south so if I really want to get my groove on with interesting social drinks you only find in odd places I have to go up north. Another problem when Robert E. Lee bit the bullet, always having to go up north for cool stuff.
Nahhh pretty sure 7-11 still has Slurpee machines, doubt they went over to... forgot the name, but the brand had a droopy dog as an icon.
We used to have a few cool chains up this way, served decent grub: Sizzler, Bun n' Burger, Sambo's (lol, rly), at least half a dozen more. Farrell's is back after 20 years, Canadian outfit bought the name and concept, dunno if that's gonna make it's way south... famous for it's ice cream bar, pressed fries. Got any Stackee's (or was it Stuckee's) down that way? Was a breakfast chain, cheap eggs and pork and such
I think you mean Buc-ee's Beaver and that is way south, you will have to ask Seven Seize about it cause that is around her neck of the woods. They are the only group that I know of with the two EE's on the end of there name and sell cheap anything.
Love that free coffee though. LOL
Yea, don't think she's heard of it either, need someone on I-70 to tell me, someone who leaves town lol. I do think of her often, she's a great friend to many.
Anyone that is anyone has head of Buc-ee's Beaver he is about as well known as Chuckie Cheese the Rat and (Slappy the Frog).
Chuck-ee-Cheese's a national company, heard they went bankrupt some years back, guess they're still around? My last job was working for a company like that (kids, arcade, pizza), no rat suits though
Well it is around the Black neighborhoods still, Just like Sears.
It's more about disposable income and population density than any ethnic striation, or even company loyalty :p money always matters
Yes money is the great equalizer for a lot of situations. I love the hunt for green backs, just wish I could have a little more of it at times, but I have learned to get by and just enjoy life with the little things. Like free coffee.
Say did I hear you're a goat farmer? We used to use goats to keep the briars away from the fence, not for food or pets. I've had the milk before, it's kinda gamey, wouldn't want that at room temp lol
I don't like any milk at room temperature. I can't stand when a person uses a goat to clean briars..those goats I'd never eat, you can tell by looking that they are unfit for human consumption. My goats have 77 acres of land, all the green pasture they can stand and a nice river to drink from...as long as I keep the Chicken plant at bay from dumping into the river we will be fine. I have 20 of them now and they are a handful. They are fun though..I will have to post pictures sometime so you can see a pretty goat. (Yes I said that, goats can be pretty.) LOL.
Nah, couldn't eat them, we also gave em cracked corn molasses, alfalfa. Our family farm stopped being relevant in the late 1950s, since it was small and in NJ. Also onion grass took over... no good for milk :/ Shame I put the box traps and guns in storage, last fall would've been great for groundhog meat.
Pretty awful how chicken farms have to operate these days, can imagine the processing plants have to be much worse.
How often do you cut the goat fields, machines holding up OK?
Oh every year we bush hog and I work of lubing the parts and making sure things are in working order.. then me and the guys get together and bust hay and so on, and yes it is like living in the 1950's but if you want goats that you can eat and enjoy, you have to put your hand to the plow. it reminds me of that song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEcejxSgh9M

Nice. Seems like a bad business model! What was the occasion for warranting free coffee?
VicariousE
No idea, might've been the day the first Wawa opened. Every 2-3 years they put out a small book for sale, chronicling the chain... skimmed thru it once. Thing is, I had heard in the 80's and 90's that Reverend Moon of the Moonies bought the company; no mention of it in the book... maybe it was another chain
They serve good coffee at cheap prices, but everything else there's kinda pricey, depends on what, so one day a year they let it go for nothing as a promotional thing... local radio was talking about, so there's free publicity too. (I seriously doubt any one went there on my word lol)
