WAWA FOR LIFE. I would get a Wawa tatto and never regret it.
Wawa may be the best store, period. I’m usually pretty chill about stuff, but this is one thing that I feel very strongly about. If you grew up in Wawa country I know you understand and agree.
Convenience: Groceries Stores Turning To Single Checkout Lines →

I’ve been saying this for years, the bank/airport model for lines is so much nicer. Even if on-average it doesn’t improve wait time, it does help with the “injustice” factor.
Though, this is probably impractical for 90% of grocery stores because there’s no space for it.
Not just grocery stores would benefit from this. The Chick-fil-A in Silver Spring could do it, but they prefer the clusterfuck method of having everyone stand in a big open space until someone is lucky enough to hear the cashier say that they’re ready.
Not to slag off on Chick-fil-A, particularly the Silver Spring one. They always have promotions and free stuff and once you do get to the register they’re almost always super nice and will give you free food or a coupon if there’s ever a problem.

My new favorite twitter of the week. Every entry is a gem.
LA Times confrims that the KFC Double Down is real
The good news:The sandwich does indeed exist, and it is called the double down. It is made of two Original Recipe fillets, bacon, Swiss and pepper jack cheese and something called the Colonel’s sauce.
The bad news: The sandwich is only being tested in Providence, R.I., and Omaha, Neb. But if it does well — and really, why wouldn’t this sandwich do well? — it could head out West.
I will definitely try one if it shows up around here. Just once.
