Stopped holding doors after the millionth straight person refused to toss out a simple, "Thanks!".

My grandfather had a tradition of hitting the small concrete poles and saying every curse word known to man at the Ship Bottom Wawa parking lot.

Door holding gets a slight upward head nod not a verbal thanks. Were you not taught etiquette?

Wawa… where they’ll hold the door for you, then try to mow you down in the parking lot.

Never been to a Wawa, Always frequented the Quickchek for the sandwiches.
How do you guys rate Wawa vs. Quickchek sandwiches?

Just remembering a time where there was an actual deli in wawa.

Just use the app to order food and pay for it right before you leave to pick it up. Then there's never a line
bulakenyo1980 t1_j7j4mt2 wrote
You’re serious.
I actually think Quickchek is pretty good for gas station sandwich, definitely better than anything 7-Eleven or Subway produces.
Quickchek is close to home and work.
I might try going to a Wawa sometime.
OpeningComb7352 t1_j7j4uxe wrote
On a serious note. Wawa food has lessened i quality over the years as they have expanded, but not to what I see in quick check. It just tastes like manufactured garbage. And to be honest I would put it on the same level as 7/11
MaximusBluntus t1_j7j50e7 wrote
Their turkey is pretty good. Don’t like much else on the cold sub side of things.

Depends where you are. In north jersey QC is boss but once you get into central it switches.
bulakenyo1980 t1_j7j5l88 wrote
OK. When it’s 7 in the morning, you have few options for hot subs, I will try Wawa one of these days.
I don’t agree with 7/11 vs QC though. I’m a regular at my neighborhood QC, pretty friendly with the sandwich ladies, and they seem to make my sandwich feel more home made. Like sometimes stuffing it with a bit more than standard, a nice and hefty sub.
7-11 or Subway is strictly standard measurements, every time.

Wawa used to be good, but Quickchek is better now as far as sandwiches go.

Sometimes being a regular and getting the hookup means the world! 😉 Wawa is def worth a try but, as a creature of habit -I understand!

I hate door holding etiquette. I don't want you to hold the door for me and make me feel like I gotta rush, I can use my own damn hands.
TheEnquirer1138 t1_j7j9we3 wrote
It really depends on location. I've been to all different ones and they've all been of varying quality from pretty good (for gas station food) to absolute shit.

As someone living in central and spends plenty of time in the north, this is 1000% correct. That being said, I'd go to a CNJ Wawa over a NNJ QC any day of the week.

I can't stand all the door holding and shit. I get it's a good gesture and all that but I just want to get in and out asap and this shit jams up the doors constantly. It's like some bs Wawa culture or some shit. They seriously just need automatic doors already...

Wawa's food was decent 15-20 years ago.

They're both good. I personally find Quickchek's hot stuff better, but Wawa cold cuts can't be beat.

Cpt_Wolf t1_j7k57ei wrote
Yeah, seriously, go to a Quikchek here in central if you want a tiny sub made with old bread and literally one slice of meat and cheese. Or if you like anything stale really... Or expired... I swear, it's like they got all their food the day they opened and just rolled with it.
And even don't get me started on the 7-11s...

Wawa just hits different. I was pissed once when one of my guests wanted subway and I suggested Wawa instead, and they insisted subway.

Gergich_was_here t1_j7k9c4g wrote
Maybe it’s because I live near LBI, but the only time there’s a long line at my Wawa is in the summer. Also, the self-checkout kiosks are good if you’re paying with a card and don’t want to wait. 🤷♀️

I remember when it was mom and pop shops instead of WAWA, rip Pioneer you held out for so long.

I literally race the other people ordering sandwiches. Oh youre already making a selection? Let me slide my order in first while you decide if youre adding on a soup to your meal

Sn_Orpheus t1_j7kbufc wrote
Honestly don't see a big diff between Quick Check and Wawa. Each store is run by a manager and the people in it and they make or break the quality/cleanliness. Inevitable that newer stores are usually better experience to go in but I miss the local mom and pop deli's that are going away because of these places.

My wawa has a self checkout. I remember when there was giant a line and then I used it and the everyone crowded behind me
bulakenyo1980 t1_j7kf9zd wrote
Nice. We’re lucky here in the Hackensack area where the Italian Deli places are still going strong. Cosmo’s, V & T Salumeria, Clemente Bakery all are some of the best in the county. They’re not open at 5 in the morning or near midnight so the gas station sandwiches will do.

Born and raised in NJ, but there are two things I never understood:
-
Why do people eat pork roll?
-
Why are people so excited to buy a sandwich at a gas station?

Agreed. I hate doing that awkward run to the door. Sometimes if Im walking in the same time as someone ill stay to the side and pretend to use my phone or something and let them go

Its time for them to get self check outs already. Especially during the lunch rush the line can be wrapped back to the other end of the store or close to it

Did this to myself at a Wawa at 5am about 15 years ago. There was a person next to me who saw it happen and just shook their head in disappointment. Was soul crushing and an expensive repair.

I’m not saying I’m above eating at WaWa but I haven’t been excited about it since they tool out the pickle barrels and deli slicers.

I grew up on Quickchek, and can never embrace Wawa the way everybody else around me does because of it. I'm sure it's nostalgia but I've never had a wawa sandwich conpare to what I remember Quickchek sandwiches tasting like.

Varies sandwich to sandwich. Wawa definitely has better.mac.n cheese, and while Quick Chek pork roll/egg/cheese/bagel is better, it's made to order and more expensive than just grabbing one by the register at Wawa.
Wawa has the superior coffee for sure.
