Reply to comment by Tyrotoxism44 in As Wawa shutters Center City stores, Philly DA Krasner plays defense by User_Name13

It isn't even theft, it was valid safety concerns. The broad and walnut wawa was super stabby. Bunch of homeless folks would congregate outside there and get into battles.

And 5 women recently stole from a wawa in university city and pepper sprayed the girl working behind the counter. So fucked up.

And that’s how you quickly turn retail theft into robbery

It's not even safety concerns, it's liability. If a Wawa employee is hurt or killed on the job that's an automatic workers comp claim. And almost certainly a civil suit on top.

Honestly, the Wawa in Plymouth Meeting (to be fair, on the Norristown border) has had a double shooting and a recent stabbing in the parking lot in the last 2 years. Even outside the city, it seems like Wawa's just attract trouble.

Amen to that. I live in Philly suburbs ( rich horse country) and there are drug busts and stabbings at our Wawa’s too.
