Now let’s see how Sheetz and Wawa diverge. We explore in this round the “culture” and feeling of each establishment in Round 2:

Sheetz has been called the convenience store that gives you that crack-of-dawn feeling when you’re on your way somewhere far away and its your first reward for waking up early. You even tell your stomach “get on the road by 7 AM and I’ll treat you to a Breakfast Shmuffin.” Sheetz is the kind of place where you park your truck and don’t even get gas.

Wawa on the other that last stop before you leave the beach. You have sand on your toes, bikini-strap sunburns and dry hair. Its the last taste of freedom you have as the sunset melts away in the final moments before twilight just before you return back to a boring workweek on Monday. The warm glow of the convenience store almost tells you that the sun will never set on the weekend. You get gas at Wawa - a full tank, and take extra time wandering the store as to prolong the inevitable drive home.

The feeling inside the stores is somewhat similar. Staff at both businesses are usually very nice, the touch-screen machines make fun and quirky noises, everything is well lit, shiny and clean. Bright colors overload your mind as you walk around the store (especially when you have just woken up or are wasted) and the aisles are shallow and wide with plenty of room to get around and see the things you have no need for.

However, Sheetz clientele is likely to be much more redneck than Wawa’s usual crowd. In a Sheetz you’ll often find avid hunters in full camouflage refilling their 120 ounce coffee before returning to their diesel fed raised axel pick-up truck with chrome balls hanging from the tow hitch. Wawa doesn’t do much better by attracting complete Jersey scum to their stores. I’m not talking about the funny and lovable Jersey Shore guidos either, but rather the glue-sniffing baby-dropping homemade-tattoo douche fags Jersey retards with butterfly knives on the outside of their pant-shorts escorting bleached blonds with cinderblocked faces and bone skinny arms.

ADVANTAGE: Consider it the ying and yang, the dawn and dusk, the Adam and Andy LaRoche, you get the idea. Its a TIE here too.
