“Store #482 supremacy! This is literally my favorite Wawa, I commute here almost every day and the staff is absolutely phenomenal ?❤️ I always leave this place with a smile simply because the people are so sweet and kind!! My orders are always exactly on-time and the food is always great. To everyone hating on the fact they have no public bathroom, you can drive 5 seconds up the street and go to the Smithville Inn or CVS, they'll let you in there ?”

“Wawa, where my morning ritual is basically a coffee pilgrimage! The large Extreme Caffeine coffee is like my caffeinated co-pilot – it's so big and tasty - I'm convinced it has its own gravitational pull. Everyone at this Wawa is super hardworking and pretty friendly overall - it’s very busy and has a small parking lot - the store itself is quite clean and there’s no bathrooms offered unfortunately . BUT you've mastered the art of jolting me into the day with that colossal cup of magic thank you again because without YOU my mornings would be a snooze-fest without you! ☕ Vegetarian options: Yes you can make it happen Dietary restrictions: Several dietary options / keto / Gluten Free - non dairy - you can mix and match ! Parking: Limited amount of space Kid-friendliness: It’s friendly”

“I ordered photos online to be printed at the Absecon, NJ Walgreens. The transaction required a credit card for prepayment which I provided. It said the card would be charged when the prints were done or maybe it was when they were picked up. When my uncle went to the store to pick up the photos, he was told they had a balance that he had to pay. Fortunately, he refused and left the store, calling me to tell me what happened. I called the store and spoke to an extremely rude sales clerk. I get it. Nobody wants to work so stores are hurting and can't get good help. Or maybe having too many Walgreens in each town has depleted the labor pool. Anyway, the Store Manager on duty got on the phone and confirmed the photos were supposed to be charged to my credit card -- the clerk just needed to select "Express pay". After we hung up, the manager took it upon herself to call my uncle at the number on the order. She told him what happened and dropped the pictures at his home after her shift. Things happen but Customer Service is about how these issues are handled. I appreciate what the manager did and will continue to use that store when sending hard copy photos.”
