Mindi vs. The Wawa Chick: Round 3

By now you are probably thinking "Why doesn't she just go to a different Wawa?" (and if you aren't from eastern PA, NJ, or DelMarVa, you are probably thinking "what the hell is Wawa?" - it's a nicer 7-11.  It's like the difference between Walmart & Target. Many also have gas stations attached that are a few cents per gallon cheaper than the other local stations) 

The answer is simple:  I'm too lazy.  I have to go past this Wawa to go pretty much anywhere.  I have no intention of letting this one pain-in-the-ass clerk make me go 10 minutes out of my way just so I can avoid her....especially not with gas at $3.19/gallon.  Besides - the other employees are really nice

For any newbies:  here is Round 1 and Round 2

Today being Prince #2's last day of preschool for 10 days (and because my gas light was on and I had a burning desire to make it home), we stopped at Wawa.  As we walk in, my asst. manager buddy comes up and starts talking to me.  He's asking where my other two children were (Prince #1 was in school, The Queen was at home with Brad), telling me a joke, etc.  During this conversation I made myself a cup of coffee and am sipping it as Prince #2 goes over and gets his donut and is standing next to me as I am talking to asst. manager.  All of this is under the watchful eye of The Wawa Chick, who is one of two cashiers on duty.

Time to pay....as I start to walk to the other cashier, The Wawa Chick waves me over yelling "I can help you!"  Other cashier's line is 4 deep, hers is empty.  How can I possibly wait in the other line without looking like a total shitbird?  But she has seen me talk to manager...surely she won't give me a problem today, will she?

The Wawa Chick (TWC):  ok - that's coffee and 2 donuts?

Me:  no - just 1 donut today

TWC:  but you always get 2 donuts

Me:  usually I do, but it's only 1 today

TWC:  did your son eat the second one while you were talking to AsstManager?

Me:  there was no second donut...it's just one today

TWC:  that's why you can't eat them until you pay.  How do I know how many donuts you got?  You always get two donuts.  I have to charge you for two donuts because he could have already eaten the second one

Me:  I have ONE kid today, so there is only ONE....oh fuck it.  ASSTMANAGER!

AM:  What's wrong Min?

Me:  could you please explain to her that I am not a donut thief?  I don't know what she has against me, but....

TWC (to AM):  I'm going to charge her for two donuts because she always gets two donuts.  Her son probably ate the second one because she let him eat one before she came up to pay.  I told her that she's stealing, but she keeps letting them start eating while they are in the store 

AM:  and now she's not paying for any of them or her coffee today.  Sorry about that Mindi.

Me:  I'll pay for my coffee and donut...and I need to get gas.  It's just getting pretty old with her always getting on my ass about something every time I come in.

TWC:  But..

AM:  not another word (and rings me out for gas but won't let me pay for my coffee and donut)

ok - now if I can just get The Wawa Chick to get a job at say.....a shoe store?  Nah - that's wouldn't work!

I just don't want her to get fired....because everyone that gets fired from that Wawa ends up working at my regular grocery store...and you just know that she'll be another one yelling at me about using the "wrong" reuseable grocery bags (and if you read the whole "Round two" post, you'll know what I mean)!
