TS: Royal Farms vs. Wawa

<3 wawa but have to vote for RF bc they have berger cookies and wedge fries

let's be honest, sheetz needs to be an option here

100% Wawa, but I live in a Royal Farms neighborhood. : (

there is a weird weekly gathering of middle-aged men with fords on sunday mornings in our RF parking lot. It has been rumored that they are white supremacists.

Royal Farms for the Berger Cookies and the fried chicken.

Yeah, I don't even care what they have in stock because at most I'm going in for a Pepsi Max and a Megamillions. For me, this vote is about interior decor/ambience.

You are a primitive savage.

I was also swayed by Wawa's use of geese.

I'm surrounded by Royal Farms. Pretty decent fried chicken if you can get it fresh. I've probably only been to two Wawas, but they seemed nicer and cleaner so they get my vote.

Would've voted Sheetz had it been an option.

Sheetz are usually great too, but for some reason they don't want to enter the Baltimore/DC market?

Royal Farms has pretty much saturated Baltimore at this point. Wouldn't be an easy market to weasel into I imagine.

Wawa

But there was only one Royal Farms in my life prior to my leaving the mid-Atlantic area and other than one dreadful attempt to purchase cigarettes there while on acid, I didn't have much interaction with it.

xp: yeah, but if they were aggressive about their shit, Sheetz could weasel them out. They've got a strong enough reputation.

The corner store I remember most strongly from my childhood was High's. In the 80s, it seemed like there was a High's everywhere.

Yeah! High's was definitely the convenience store of my youth. Don't see too many of those any more.

official ilx wawa tribute thread

High's! Yes! My mom always stopped at this one High's near my high school because they carried her preferred brand of milk (Lewes Dairy).

50 stores listed there but they number up to 130.

Was just coming here to name check High's. Awesome.

But b/t these two? Wawa. Deli was untouchable back in the day - I suspect because it was from the Philly area orig, and they know from deli in Philly.

A teenage clerk at the High's in Edgewater got arrested for selling weed there last year. Can you imagine how much "We're going to ... ♪♫ HIGH'S ♪♫" there used to be?

Is the High's on West Street in Annapolis across from the mall gone? Went to the one in Crownsville last trip back to the states -- was a little scary, but they still have Berger's cookies and really good ice cream.

At least two of the High's stores on that list are definitely closed and their web page is copyrighted 2009. Might be a lot less than 50 open by now.

any of them next to a lowe's?

wawa needs to make inroads to some city turf if they really wanna compete w/ rf

didn't include sheetz bc i don't think i've ever even seen one. don't spend enough time in PA apparently

somehow i have never entered a royal farms or bought gas there! maybe i will next week. i am disgusted by sheetz.

*flags post*

is it the baltimore equivalent of not owning a tv

yes

i got gas at royal farms this morning

gas for the car, to be clear

wawa makes good hoagies

It would be easy to misinterpret harbl's comment to mean she got death-ass from eating RF's food.

ROFO, BITCHES

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Voted Wawa, and man do I miss them. Convenience stores in California don't have cheap, shitty and sugary iced coffee or big salty pretzels so fuck 'em.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

i went to downtown rofo, their staff is so surly, their tenders are so good

i stopped in that place recently after an o's game and everybody in the place, staff and customers alike, seemed to be flipping out on uppers

cannot vouch for the tenders tho
