19 Wawa Habits That Drive Employees Crazy

Think of how many times you run into a Wawa every week here in New Jersey.

For many, there's the mandatory stop in the morning for coffee. Lunchtime rolls around and you swing by for a hoagie. On the way home from work, maybe you stop for gas.

And while most of us take Wawa for granted, there are thousands of people working behind the scenes to keep that convenience store chain functioning 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Those are the people brewing your morning cup of coffee, deciphering the 82 options you want on your hoagie, and pumping your gas.

Many of us know that dealing with the public is not an easy job, especially in a fast-paced environment like Wawa.

Thousands of people visit every Wawa location every day. That's thousands of cups of coffee, thousands of hoagies, and thousands of cars filling up.

So with that in mind, we, as customers, apparently, do quite a few things that really annoy those working at Wawa. Some things are pretty obvious, while others are a bit subtle.

I think for many of us, we would never dream of walking behind the counter to look for something when we could just politely ask for it. But based on what I've seen online, that's too much to ask for some people.

I recently found a Reddit thread which asked this question: I’m curious to know what’s everyone's biggest customer pet peeve about working there, is it the curbsides, crazy smoothie orders, or something else?

And the comments that followed were eye-opening.

Holy cow, people. A little common sense and common courtesy can go a long way.
