Pardon the Convenience
HUMOR
These regional convenience stores make leaving your own time zone a little less painful.

Let's Gug it out.

Finally, a Middle East piece we can all agree on.
A guy who’s looking for his buddy…

Wawa
Site:
Wawa.com
Location:
Mostly in the Delaware Valley, the Canada Goose (that’s what "wawa" means!) is taking over the Northeast United States, with new stores popping up in Maryland and Virginia.
What the workers say:
“I like the Italian hoagies because they taste good.”
Why it's worth a pit stop:
“Because Wawa’s fresher.”
Sheetz
Site:
Sheetz.com
Location:
North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, and other places where the teeth-per-person ratio is extremely low.
Why you should go:
They have cleverly named Shmuffins, Shmagelz, and Shmiscuitz that are made to order any way you’d like.
What’s a Shmufhdgh?:
“Just English muffins, bagels, and biscuits.”
What the workers suggest:
“Anything chicken-chicken subs, chicken salads… Why? Because I like chicken.”
AMPM
Site:
Ampm.com
Location:
Visit them the next time you’re in the Northwest, Japan, or South Korea.
Why you should go:
They have a three-meat Italian stuffed baguette for $1.29.
What the workers say about it:
It’s really good. It’s, like, five inches.”
What else is really good?:
“The pizza is good, the barbeque ribs is good, the chicken sandwiches is good.”
Why it's worth a pit stop:
“I don’t know! Because we’re better.”
Casey's
Site:
Caseys.com
Location:
They’re all over the Midwest and heavily concentrated in Iowa. Wherever that is…
Why you should go:
Each store has its own pizza maker on the premises and they run awesome contests. The last winners won a cardboard Elvis stand!
What the workers say:
“It is really good pizza. I make a thicker crust, but I’ll make it any way you want it.”
Couche-Tard
Site:
www.Couche-tard.com
Location:
We hear they’re the original Canadian Circle K, but damned if we’re ever gonna go there in person to see for ourselves.
What the workers suggest:
“The sandwich.”
Why it’s good:
“It’s the best. We have chocolate, chips, and sandwich.” Where the eff is the poutine?
Our advice:
Don’t call it "Couch Tard" like we did.
