My friends and I discuss the morning WAWA thing frequently, how friendly and respectful it is.
And how WAWA must just print money in the morning. It’s not unusual to see 30-40 people in the store at any given time.
Cops, contractors, engineers, sales reps, moms with kids. Everything and everybody.
This month is their any size coffee for $1.00 promotion too.
This post and thread is nice, entertaining and uplifting. I am an American Indian (Choctaw) and past-president of my rural town’s Rotary Club. I run many mornings with 4-5 obsessive soccer moms and my Black friend who is married to a white woman. They have three great teenage kids. This country can be great again if liberals will just get out of the way.
There’ a WaWa about two miles from my home, in a middle class neighborhood in Scott Taylor’s Congressional district (VA-02). The store is the new melting pot; I’ve been in there at all hours of the day (and night) and it’s just as you describe: everyone from all walks of life. The store near my home also has a strong military presence, since there are five bases within 15 miles of that location.
As many know, WaWa is a privately traded company; the only individuals allowed to own stock are the Wood family (which founded the company over 200 years ago) and employees. The latest valuation of WaWa stock put the price per share at just over $7,000—eat your heart out Google.
Of course, if you’re an hourly associate, it takes a while to purchase a single share (even if the company offers a discount), and you’re required to sell your shares the day you leave the company, through resignation, retirement or termination. There’s currently a lawsuit in the courts, filed by a former employee, who claims the company promised ex-workers they could retain their stock after leaving WaWa.
