Hey True Believers, it's me returning to blog yet again, however, unlike blogs past, I have a personal vendetta against the first topic, which pertains against Sheetz. Sheetz is basically a gas station / convenient store that sells many items and basically tries to be Wawa.( Another widespread gas station / convenient store.) This is a topic of monumental importance to the world at large. We can ignore the riots throughout Northern Africa and the Middle east, ignore the rising inflation throughout the United States, Obama's proposed lowered budget for 2012, and even the revolutionary Watson who tore apart human competitors on Jeopardy not too long ago. Today's topic about two convenient store chains.
Okay, so I went to my first Sheetz last week and I wasn't too wonderfully impressed. They had a looming canopy over their Gas Station that loomed over that to the convenient store which was daunting. Upon entering the business of humble origins I noticed what looked appeared to be a booming industry. Having grown up on Wawa when I lived in Southern Jersey, and then again when I lived in eastern Pennsylvania, it was all too apparent for this college lad that I was no longer in Wawa country. The people with whom I attended this foreign trading station knew where to go and what to do right away. Whereas I was dumbfounded by the slight similarities between the two, but at the same time, the overwhelming differences. I decided to investigate the refrigerated beverages first, and low and behold, there was a plethora of cold beverages to choose from. Alas, despite the increase quantity, there was a surprising lack of quality. Wawa is infamous for their wide array of store brand teas, juices, and milk. These beverages were absent from the shelves of Sheetz. Or, in more economic terms. There wasn't a substitute. Just inferior goods. So, with that noted, i made my way to food section. There were more options there than at Wawa. You could get burgers and french fries for example. Hell, if I recall correctly, you could even get a cheesesteak if you so pleased. So, having had gone there twice, I tried a cold cut sandwich the first time(turkey), and a grilled chicken sandwich the second. Both experiences left me feeling sick to my stomach. A feeling that Wawa never leaves me with. The reason I even decided on going the second time was because of the simple fact I was fooling myself into believing the first incident was merely isolated. So to all you Sheetz lovers, I intend not to offend, I'm merely offering my two cents, and with that said, to all you people who have never been to Sheetz, I would avoid it if I can. And finally, in conclusion, Sheetz offers a great variety of products, but it does not offer the same quality, as Wawa.
Pressing on into Spanish territory, the next "order" of business pertains to a more sizzling topic. Talking about more food, the next topic is about Taco Bell. Taco Bell is one of the most successful fast food businesses in North America, belonging to Yum Inc along with KFC, Long John Silvers, Pizza Hut, and others, it's truly one of the tastiest fast food restaurants around. Now I know it's rather irrelevant to write a paragraph on a chain that literally everyone knows about. So, what I'm going to write about are entrées that perhaps you, the consumer, have never had. Everyone's probably had their hard and soft beef tacos and their beefy 5-layer burritos, or even their crunch wrap supremes. If you're unimpressed by those meal options, may I suggest trying a Gordita or a Chalupa of the nacho cheese variety? It's Scrumptious. Or even a Quesadilla? And for an appetizer try out their cheese roll ups. They're freaken bangin'. Anyway, enough of this promo, of which I'm not even being paid for. Just do it.
Anyway, this was by far the most biased and opinionated blog I've ever written, and it's not even a political entry(what with being a government major and all). But these are my opinions, and I just shoved them down your throat. Accept my editorial bullshit readers.
Until next time, Ciao.
