WAWA worker allegedly fired for preventing robbery

[Chuckt]

A Wawa worker wasn’t about to let a man wearing a bizarre outfit rob him.

I will try to give the update on his alleged firing as soon as it becomes available on the web.

Drives a Beemer yet pulls a hold-up. Hmmm...

OP - where do you see any indication that the store worker was fired?

He broke the rules and got fired. Happens all the time.

He was interviewed on CBS local news (TV) and he read his letter of dismissal. It hasn't made the written news.

Here's the followup. Wawa's citing store policy. A bit pedantically perhaps.

Wawa rocks. We don't have them here but I'm from the area. Very efficient.

Wawa is a civilized version of 7-11. Nice stores, good selection of foods and awesome coffee.

Wouldn't quite say "awesome" but passable. I like the lightning-quick sandwich order, especially for a quick breakfast. And grabbing a soft pretzel on the way out is always nostalgic for an expatriate. Those don't really exist outside DelVal - not in an authentic way.

Indeed!

Yup.I remember when they had few stores and they were just 'meh'. No gas station with it that I recall. They revamped years back and are now everywhere. Good for quick bites, coffee, gas, some staples. Clean, efficient, bit of selection.

The chain's name comes from the site of the company's first milk plant and corporate headquarters in Wawa, Pennsylvania.

The name of the town is in turn derived from the Ojibwe word for the Canada Goose. An image of a goose in flight serves as the Wawa corporate logo.

Except they are trying to make Super Wawa stores that have gas stations.

You found it. You rock.

Every WaWa I've ever been to around here has gas pumps....

Never seen one without them.
