I still remember 7-11 like it was only yesterday

I really just needed a cup of coffee but there wasn't any WaWa's around. The closest thing I could find was a 7-11's and wasn't really sure what to expect from them when it comes to 7-11 coffee. So I took a chance and I stopped in and wanted to buy a coffee but they were out of of Hazelnut and I would have to have Regular. And they didn't have any Soy Creamer. Plus they only had regular sugar or Equal. Plus they didn't have any public restrooms and their ATM charged fees. It was just really upsetting and I drove away and I was still all achy because I really wasn't able to get the coffee I really wanted yesterday.

But luckily about 3-4 miles down the road there was a WaWa's and all was right in the world.

Oh and BTW Drumpf is an asshole

Thank goodness it turned out OK for you. We should pause for moment and express our gratitude to the heroic first responders who make sure it all happens the way it should.

I am so grateful for anonymous strangers who put their lives at risk to help me find a safe place for good coffee, free ATM machines and a clean restroom!

Big Gulps spilled everywhere, mystery-meat "hot dogs" all over the floor, people walking around covered in nacho cheese sauce, I'll never forget it!

And yes, Drumpf is a flaming, oozing, pustule-ridden asshole.

I was in the "everything else" isle looking for asprin, just a normal day like any other. How that would shatter moments later.

the flappy sound of countless packages hitting the linoleum. I will never be able to unhear that sound ever again. fwap fwap fwap!!!

it was horrific! I couldn't get up to the counter! I had to step over packages and packages of slim jims with Macho Man Randy Savage giving me an accusing look!

and the baby stroller, the baby...>it's just too hard to write this<...was just giggling with delite! WITH DELITE!!!

I just... can't....

so on my first trip to PA, I asked her to take me to a Wa Wa.

it's clean. I'll give it that.

I think her memories of working there out stripped reality.

Just seemed like another deli/gas station to me.

18. I will always remember that time we spent huddled together by the Wonder Bread

I know you and I were both scared for our lives wondering if we would be able to make it to the front door without any harm. I wanted to make a dash for that front door but you heard a cry of a baby from a distance by the 2-for-1 Snickers display and you said 'No Way, No Way will I leave any child behind nor will I pass any great price on Snickers that cheap!!'

Those memories and Snickers bars will haunt me for a lifetime.
