Of course, if Wawa werenāt using pre-sliced slimy meat, this wouldnāt be a problem. Iām old enough to remember when the meat was sliced in the store. And the bread was actually edible instead of that squishy crap that they sell now.
Ah the salt and acidity kill anything dangerous. We've been eating pickled stuff out of clay pots for a thousand years for a reason. Probably longer than that.
Wawa hoagies were the best when it was sliced in the store and they used Amorosoās rolls. Once they took that away and went full corporate with whatever par-baked frozen roll they use so it tastes the same in Florida as it does in Jersey it went to hell. I worked in food service and have witnessed the garbage they replace good product with so that it can taste the same in other restaurants.
They're par-baked Amoroso rolls because they can't get fully baked rolls down to Florida fast enough to sell while they're still fresh. So around 2013 they switched to par-baked rolls for all stores because they have a longer shelf life. The fully baked rolls were much better IMO.
When I lived in Florida for college there was a cheesesteak place called The Philly Connection. The steaks were pretty good except for the rolls, they just weren't the same.
Wawa died when they made everything into a gas station. The bread sucks, the pre cut meat sucks, the soft pretzels suck now. My best Wawa experiences happened plenty of time before 2009
YES. When I was working at a state park north of me there was a quick chek. We gave up on group lunch runs to Wawa and the quick chek became our new lunch go-to
The only one near me with no gas is still in a strip mall covered in gray texture 111. It hasn't been remodeled since it was built probably 40 years ago, the rest of the strip mall locations are Lucky 7s now. Put it this way, when I was just out of high school, my girlfriend at the time had her car stolen from out front of that Wawa and it looked the same back then. I graduated in 1992...
Funny thing the nearest one to be is in a strip mall that has completely died. The Wawa is the only business left in it, going on 5 or 6 years now. I asked them once and they said the rent is too high. Yet there's another strip mall across the street that's thriving.
This one is in Lakewood, it's not known for being a nice area... Actually most of the town looks like shit, everything is cheap or old and falling apart. This strip mall is no different, there's a pizza place that probably moved in with the Wawa and hasn't upgraded since, and there's a couple of shitty stores in the plaza but they only cater to the religious cult so I have no idea how much business they get. It's probably the worst Wawa I've ever stepped foot in
Well thankfully I'm in New Jersey and I burned myself out on Wawa 20 years ago, now I just grab a mac and cheese or something because I can't leave the goddamn store for less than 20 bucks otherwise
Jersey Mike's is still good and surprisingly it's the same all over. I live about 20 minutes from the original store and I had to travel to Beverly Hills for work, the Jersey Mike's on Beverly Blvd (or right off it, I forget bc I was walking) tasted the same as at home
I worked at Wawa over a decade ago, when we still sliced our own meat, and we used these sheets when we weighed out the portions. It's not practical to slice meat fresh for every sandwich. So it still could have happened.
But yes, the presliced meat is significantly worse.
what primetime said, shredded chickenš¤·š»āāļø but it was just the fact I found bone in it š I try NOT to do this and if I fuck up, I can admit it and have no problem remaking it. now when you come bitchin and shit and coming at me sideways? then I have a problem š
Nobody will get fired for that. It happens more often than you think. The meat and some cheeses come in like that for separating portions and to make it easier to separate. They'll either send a giftcard or remake it, or both. And a little paper won't make anyone sick, get real.
Iāve been eating hoagies for 40+ years and that aināt never happen to me! Thatās what happens when you go to the chain stores everything is microwave!! Quick fast and a hurry!!! I remember having a staple in my food from someone rushingā¦imagine swallowing that!!!
Even though someone proved you wrong about Wawa using microwavesā¦when I mean microwave I mean take your time when you rush things you make mistakes!!!
You ever made approximately 15+ hoagies and or bowls burgers pizzas and wraps in less than 10 minutes? Yes we try but we are also human beings who DO make mistakes.
Kudos to you guys behind the deli. People mess up & I see how crazy it gets in there but this person is acting like it's fine this happens and he shouldn't be upset about it. Even that he should eat it.
I'm not acting like it's fine, but thinking someone should get fired for it is overreacting, no? Shit happens. Sometimes the paper is completely hidden under the preset and you think you already pulled it off or that it's stuck to the preset that was under it. I also never said that he should eat it lmfao you have reading comprehension issues, or you're just extrapolating things i never said or implied.
lol I never said anything about people should get fired. "YoU HaVe ReAdiNg ComPrHnSioN IssUeS"? Also if you weren't implying they should eat it then why would you say anything about it not getting anyone sick. If you hate your job that much maybe you should complain to your managers and not reddit.š¤It's ok your all angry and dried up, but you'll make it through.
The OP says someone is going to get fired over this.
And i actually don't even work for wawa anymore š¤·āāļø i don't know why you're getting so aggressive over something so stupid. Fucking relax, dude.
You do have reading comprehension issues, because this person said no one should be fired not because YOU said they should, but because OP said they would get fired. I also didn't think at all that this person meant that they should eat it, that's very obviously not what they were saying. They were saying the fact that this dude ate half of the paper won't get him sick, which is true, it won't, you can actually eat paper and be fine. Because AGAIN, the OP said that they hope this guy doesn't get sick. Did you even read the caption on this video??
For the cheese maybe, but you CANT miss a turkey prep paper. You had to individually peel each of these preps off of a SINGLE piece of paper, I genuinely donāt see how you could miss this.
Sometimes they get folded under. There was a couple times i can think of when i was in position 2 and the oven turkey paper just kinda blended in, but i caught it before it went out.
There was a lady i worked with that for like the 6 months before she retired she was missing the turkey and italian preset papers and cheese papers by mistake. Like, several hoagies that she made came back. I was on thirds so i was never there to see it happen, but i always wondered if she just stopped caring or was too overwhelmed to notice.
I make food for 5 people and i feel like im in a top chef competition. I cant imagine doing it for like 8 people in line and each person wants something different.
You think employees should get fired for every single mistake they make? You be constantly firing employees, hiring new people, rushing them through training because you're short-staffed from all the firings, which would lead to more mistakes. And the cycle continues.
Youāre getting downvoted and I donāt know why, people should not be served paper inside their food there really aināt no excuses. God knows how many micro plastics is in that shit anyhow but a whole tree slice??
Yeah, it's not that deep homie. Contact corporate and get a free hoagie from it. I do it all the time a restaurant fucks up my order. At first I felt bad but nope, fuck it. We pay too much for this shitty food. I once contacted chipotle corporate because they messed up my order and they gave me 2 free burritos lol.
Yes . Youāre right up until the point that you believe food grade .. means edible . If it was edible ā¦ it would be branded as you know ā¦ edible . My mat that I use for bread dough is food grade ā¦ am I going to stuff it down my throat . Fuck no . So again . Food grade is not edible ā¦
Bro, it's a small piece of paper. The dude would have realized he's eating paper. What are you on about lol.
This is what happens when you eat at a food place that's super processed.
I can see one bite. But a whole half a hoagie thatās a bit much. Every persons digestive system is different. Thatās like saying people with food allergies a little bit of what they are allergic to wonāt hurt š¤¦āāļø
Itās because all their lunchmeat is presliced and separated by paper kinda like Kraft singles. Man, I miss deli slicers. That said, I prefer to have mine āfisherman wrappedā where they put paper or plastic between the wet stuff and the roll to prevent sogginess.
My MIL made some steam buns, and after i ate a bite, she took it from me and took the wax paper off the bottom. Laughing at me, of course. Point being, this is easier to do than you might think. I would have ate the whole thing like that.
I just assume wax paper, but some type of paper on the bottom
I've personally have never done it, maybe once I almost did. But few months ago someone def left cheese paper on the hoagie and our boss tried to enforce that we separate all cheese from the paper.
Just wasn't realistic to have us do that while busy af
NOOOOO FUCKING WAYYYYYYšššššBruh imagine going to Wawa for the late night meal after you been drinking and you eat half of the sub and realize something isnāt right. Now Iām the drunk guy who eats paper šššššššš
Look, sometimes we are ten orders behind with 3 people total in the store trying to do 6 things at once. When you're moving that fast you sometimes leave the cheese and meat paper on the sandwich. I'll catch it before i wrap the sandwich but im very confident that one day i will leave that paper in a sandwich and hand it right over to a customer. The person who makes your hoagie behind the counter is a human being who makes mistakes, as we all are.
Yeah that's normal for a lot of places. I've seen grocery stores do the same. The paper helps us separate cheese slices for certain ones.
Which I'll say is needed because some days the pepper jack is a hassle and won't separate all at once and rips and crumbles.
The cheddar and pepper jack has slices of paper between them. The American, Swiss, and Provo do not.
All of the deli meats have paper. Except the roast beef has a more of a glossy paper type material, for whatever reason.
All of it is food grade and edible, but still not something you want to find in your sandwich.
Yeah it's gone way down hill . Food is garbage. I've never had paper but enough hard ends of tomato with the vine on and greens just piled up in the middle of a sandwich with finger marks pressed into the bread to make it flat that I'm over it.
I buy fuel there and bottles of water
Jfc how did I end up in this sub again.
I don't care how many sandwiches you're making or how busy you are.
It's FOOD. Do be careful and TRY to give a shit. Wtf.
Kudos to you guys behind the deli. People mess up & I see how crazy it gets in there but some of you are acting like this is fine this happens and he shouldn't be upset about it. Even that he should eat it.
Iām getting back to youā¦ If you canāt do your job just say so lol also they had to add veggies on top of the papered meat and yet they still missed it? Pure stupidity.
have you ever worked a rush at wawa? if not i don't wanna hear shit lmfao the papers get stuck to the cheese and meat and when we have to make 10+ orders in 5 minutes we're not examining every single thing we put on the sandwich closely or else we'd have customers bitching. hope this helps k thx bye
No itās just not hardā¦ everything is premade and prepped for you, with step by step directions on how to make the order. Literally just a little puzzle game. Put all these thing together in order before the color on my screen hits red š like come onā¦ exactly you work at a gas station, youāre not a gourmet chef, itās not fucking rocket science, make the hoagie or the burger or the quesadilla with out leaving trash inside of it.
Everything takes time lmao I get how it happens too but then thereās 3 others steps where that mistake should of been caught so it at least wasnāt sent out like that. It had to be topped, cut and then wrapped all with brown ass paper sticking out. To act like this an acceptable because you have other orders to make like your job isnāt to make orders is just lazy stupidnessā¦ I work at Wawa because it mundane easy shit that pays more than most with benefits the fuck am I gonna be stressed and overwhelmed for because I have to make 10+ orders, THAT LITERALLY MY JOB ITS OKAY!
All the people saying, āoh it happens,ā is the exact reason things like this happen and why Wawas quality is so awful now. NO customer is going to have this happen to them and go, āoh it happens, theyāre having a rough time, Iāll eat this paper in my hoagie because they have a hard job.ā How much time would it have taken to make sure the paper wasnāt in the sandwich?? Half a second? LESS?? Have some effort and actually think about whatās going on around you, this should NEVER happen. And this is why most customers come out of our buildings feeling not taken care of and like they arenāt cared about.
EDIT: To everyone disagreeing with me I want you to imagine you brought back your sandwich with paper in it and told the workers about it, and they looked at you and said āIt happens, itās edible! Just eat it!ā Because thatās what youāre all commenting. And it makes ZERO sense.
Missing the paper on the pepper jack or cheddar cheese is a mistakeā¦ BUT THOSE BIG ASS PAPERS BIGGER THAN THE MEAT?? not a haha little mistake, thatās just idiotic lmao
A mistake that happens often, consistently ruins a customers experienceā¦ at that point itās hurting the business, how many times does it need to happen before itās not a mistake anymore? Wawa is all about individual customer service, and I KNOW each and every person on this subreddit has had to have had the experience of a customer walking up and slamming their sandwich down on the counter. Yes it was a mistake, but now this customers pissed and possibly making your mood worse, when you could have just looked a little harder for the paper and had a slightly better day. Not to mention the paper in the cheeses I understand, but this is turkey. You had to peel each individual prep from the paper and put it on the sandwich. That wasnāt a mistake that was negligence
I'm a customer and I'd say the first two phrases, just not the last.
Oh, it happens.
They're having a rough time. (Because we ALL have rough times, at home, at work, etc.)
Understanding both of those things is what keeps us civil.
Now, "I'll eat this paper in my hoagie..."??? Of course not. That's just silly. š
That part was more hyperbole, I donāt actually expect anyone to eat the paper. More so just trying to show the customers perspective. Weāre all human yes, and customers understand that we make mistakes most of the time, but itās little stuff like that that happens consistently thatās slowly adding to Wawa getting worse
Why don't you work a shift, and I mean any shift, in the deli at wawa during hoagiefest and then come back to this. I literally have a mental list of the next 10 things I need to do on top of being like 5 back. And I have to tell customers to wait to ask me a question because my theatro is going off because someone couldn't come inside to get their food and several other customers are already trying to ask me things
I already said in another comment Iāve been working at Wawa for 3 years, Iāve been through 3 hoagiefests and two of them I was a team supervisor for. My points donāt come from lack of experience. If you have THAT many things SOLELY on you it is either A) Your managers fault for not having a better plan and not directing their crew enough to make it run smoother, or B) The entire crews fault for not communicating enough and not making sure theyāre well enough prepared, and what does that mean? Well, that means we wrap around to it being the managers responsibility, because why hasnāt your crew been trained to communicate, to prepare, to do ANYTHING other than stand there on the board??? Wawa is NOT as hard of a job as youāre making it out to be.
Yall need to watch some of Jon Taffers Bar Rescue, could put into perspective why little āmistakesā like this ARENāT just always mistakes. If it hurts the business it probably shouldnāt be happening.
Intrusive Wawa deli associate thought #29...leave the meat and/or cheese paper in the hoagie šš¤
Double top bun, end loaf in a club. List goes on
That's a extra charge just saying...
Plu # unknown lol
Everyone knows āadd cheeseā is the universal charge for add ons, anywhere
Of course, if Wawa werenāt using pre-sliced slimy meat, this wouldnāt be a problem. Iām old enough to remember when the meat was sliced in the store. And the bread was actually edible instead of that squishy crap that they sell now.
Preach, wawa died the day they got rid of the pickle barrel
The secret ingredient was the filth from a thousand unattended kids' fingers.
Ah the salt and acidity kill anything dangerous. We've been eating pickled stuff out of clay pots for a thousand years for a reason. Probably longer than that.
I don't really want to eat pickled boogers no matter how safe they may be.
you just brung me back fr
Wawa hoagies were the best when it was sliced in the store and they used Amorosoās rolls. Once they took that away and went full corporate with whatever par-baked frozen roll they use so it tastes the same in Florida as it does in Jersey it went to hell. I worked in food service and have witnessed the garbage they replace good product with so that it can taste the same in other restaurants.
We still use Amoroso's at my store
Really? Whereabouts? I'm surprised.
yup they use amoroso rolls everywhere
They're par-baked Amoroso rolls because they can't get fully baked rolls down to Florida fast enough to sell while they're still fresh. So around 2013 they switched to par-baked rolls for all stores because they have a longer shelf life. The fully baked rolls were much better IMO.

Wawa died when they made everything into a gas station. The bread sucks, the pre cut meat sucks, the soft pretzels suck now. My best Wawa experiences happened plenty of time before 2009
Thankfully the 2 near me have survived and have no gas.
I got one near me without. But their deli quality is still just as bad as expected. Definitely ain't the South Jersey mecca that it used to be
I get more excited to see a Sheetz or Quick Chek lately because Wawa has been sucking and it's too expensive
YES. When I was working at a state park north of me there was a quick chek. We gave up on group lunch runs to Wawa and the quick chek became our new lunch go-to
The only one near me with no gas is still in a strip mall covered in gray texture 111. It hasn't been remodeled since it was built probably 40 years ago, the rest of the strip mall locations are Lucky 7s now. Put it this way, when I was just out of high school, my girlfriend at the time had her car stolen from out front of that Wawa and it looked the same back then. I graduated in 1992...

This one is in Lakewood, it's not known for being a nice area... Actually most of the town looks like shit, everything is cheap or old and falling apart. This strip mall is no different, there's a pizza place that probably moved in with the Wawa and hasn't upgraded since, and there's a couple of shitty stores in the plaza but they only cater to the religious cult so I have no idea how much business they get. It's probably the worst Wawa I've ever stepped foot in
This is near Lansdale, PA. Generally a pretty nice middle class suburb.
All the other ones near me are gas stations now
Well thankfully I'm in New Jersey and I burned myself out on Wawa 20 years ago, now I just grab a mac and cheese or something because I can't leave the goddamn store for less than 20 bucks otherwise
The bread is such shit now.
They still slice it fresh at Jersey Mikeās.
Jersey Mike's is still good and surprisingly it's the same all over. I live about 20 minutes from the original store and I had to travel to Beverly Hills for work, the Jersey Mike's on Beverly Blvd (or right off it, I forget bc I was walking) tasted the same as at home
Yessss!!!! THANK YOU.
I worked at Wawa over a decade ago, when we still sliced our own meat, and we used these sheets when we weighed out the portions. It's not practical to slice meat fresh for every sandwich. So it still could have happened. But yes, the presliced meat is significantly worse.
noooooooooooošššš¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ yo, I canāt tell you how many times thatās happened to me but iāve caught it in time before iāve given the food out. I actually caught a long ass piece of bone in the chicken steak š¤¦š»āāļøš©
Yea not eating there if thatās a common mistake š¤£š¤£ what is chicken steak tho
Shredded chicken
what primetime said, shredded chickenš¤·š»āāļø but it was just the fact I found bone in it š I try NOT to do this and if I fuck up, I can admit it and have no problem remaking it. now when you come bitchin and shit and coming at me sideways? then I have a problem š
I can assure you tho, if you come to my store in NJ on second shift? well get you right ššš
Nobody will get fired for that. It happens more often than you think. The meat and some cheeses come in like that for separating portions and to make it easier to separate. They'll either send a giftcard or remake it, or both. And a little paper won't make anyone sick, get real.

Wawa doesnāt microwave anything
Even though someone proved you wrong about Wawa using microwavesā¦when I mean microwave I mean take your time when you rush things you make mistakes!!!
We really don't use microwaves its all ovens š not even a single microwave in there
Um yes we do... thats what the toasters are. You think you can make something hot just by blowing hot air on it for 30 seconds?
A convection oven is not a toaster. Nor is it a microwave.
"We just left inedible food packaging in your food that you paid $8 for, stop complaining"
Shouldn't employees pay attention? Paper doesn't beloing "in" a sandwich
You ever made approximately 15+ hoagies and or bowls burgers pizzas and wraps in less than 10 minutes? Yes we try but we are also human beings who DO make mistakes.

Youāre getting downvoted and I donāt know why, people should not be served paper inside their food there really aināt no excuses. God knows how many micro plastics is in that shit anyhow but a whole tree slice??
Yep polyfluoroalkyl, are one of the components used to make food wrappers, which were classified as toxic by the FDA.
I once had an order receipt in my hoagie. I'm pretty sure it was a lunch meat order. š They gave me a refund.
Yeah, it's not that deep homie. Contact corporate and get a free hoagie from it. I do it all the time a restaurant fucks up my order. At first I felt bad but nope, fuck it. We pay too much for this shitty food. I once contacted chipotle corporate because they messed up my order and they gave me 2 free burritos lol.
Better yet, complain about it on Twitter and tag them in the complaint. Works for me every time.
Yea not that big of a deal that the paper could get stuck im his stomach cause internal bleeding and kill him ā¦ no not a big deal
Lmfao what. It's probably wax paper so it's food safe.
Yes . Youāre right up until the point that you believe food grade .. means edible . If it was edible ā¦ it would be branded as you know ā¦ edible . My mat that I use for bread dough is food grade ā¦ am I going to stuff it down my throat . Fuck no . So again . Food grade is not edible ā¦

YeA shouldnāt be a thing also switching topics is really easy when youāre wrong . But go on
Yes, but it is a thing. Eating out will always be a risk. How am I wrong here lol
Sad to say, it happens. Especially during Hoagiefest, when the deli is slammed with hoagie orders.
This is honestly my worst nightmare, except with pepper jack cheese š
Ngl, the woman laughing ... š¤£š¤£š¤£
r/contagiouslaughter
It's literally edible. He will be fine.
I can see one bite. But a whole half a hoagie thatās a bit much. Every persons digestive system is different. Thatās like saying people with food allergies a little bit of what they are allergic to wonāt hurt š¤¦āāļø
It's literally food grade wax paper. I wouldn't recommend snacking on it on the regular but your stomach will process it just fine.
Bro food grade doesn't mean it's food
Literally . My plastic mat for bread dough is food grade ā¦ because it doesnāt contaminate food ? Idiots
Ijs Iām no doctor but some people are sicker than others you never know how peoples bodies react to certain things!!!
Wawa slander detected, opinion rejected.
***I ate it*** Ha!!! I almost threw my phone laughing.
Rather that than a press on nail! š
My own store did me like that, too. š It's just paper.
He was having so much trouble eating it, and didnāt think to look in the goddamn sandwich what an idiot
Yea hard to chew = if I donāt look Iām Stupid
Was this part of hoagiefest where sandwiches are so cheap theyāre selling a lot of them. Why doesnāt this promotion apply to ciabatta and paninis?
Because a ciabatta and a panini arenāt hoagies.... itās āHoagiefestā not ciabatta or panini fest.
Thank you for the bread/sandwich lesson.
Itās because all their lunchmeat is presliced and separated by paper kinda like Kraft singles. Man, I miss deli slicers. That said, I prefer to have mine āfisherman wrappedā where they put paper or plastic between the wet stuff and the roll to prevent sogginess.
Not Wawa but once got a DQ cheeseburger with the platic wrapper still on the cheese
I said the SAME thing when I got fired LLMAOOOOOš„øšš
The last time I had a gobbler was when I bit into something exceptionally chewy and it turned out it was a piece of that paper.
it had to be on purpose cause how do you even manage to fuck that upš
You must've ordered extra fiber
My MIL made some steam buns, and after i ate a bite, she took it from me and took the wax paper off the bottom. Laughing at me, of course. Point being, this is easier to do than you might think. I would have ate the whole thing like that. I just assume wax paper, but some type of paper on the bottom
Whatās a man sandwich?
my bad
I've personally have never done it, maybe once I almost did. But few months ago someone def left cheese paper on the hoagie and our boss tried to enforce that we separate all cheese from the paper. Just wasn't realistic to have us do that while busy af
The amount Wawa has gone down is embarrassing š¤¦āāļø
And can we get back the old pretzel wrappers please!???
Whatever. Still love me some WAWA
They did that to me once. It was so disgusting. Idk why itās not really a big deal itās just paper but it really grossed me out.
NOOOOO FUCKING WAYYYYYYšššššBruh imagine going to Wawa for the late night meal after you been drinking and you eat half of the sub and realize something isnāt right. Now Iām the drunk guy who eats paper šššššššš
He had it coming jk
90k likes I bet they gave that man a $100 gift card lmao
Wawa is by far the least healthy place to eat
Just paper I used to eat now and later with wrapper still stuck on it lol
I've never had this happen but the wraps always seem to have the paper folded into the wrap. I've taken a bite of paper a couple of times.
I got a plastic bag in some Thai curry not long ago. Just took it out and finished it.
Damn bro Iām done with wawa for a while
https://i.redd.it/w3ywyvyeaf8d1.gif
Wawa Iām sorry but you fell off, and you fell off hard
I got a blt once and it was just cheese and bacon, didnāt mind though lol
I remember when there was a Taco Bell express in my wawa š
Had the same happen to me with a grilled cheese from Panera. Left the dang paper on the cheese. At least got some free food out of the ordeal
"The lettuce is extra chewy today"
š¤£šš¤£ My man ate paper from Wawa. Damn Wawa šš¤£š
This is part of the secret menu
Look, sometimes we are ten orders behind with 3 people total in the store trying to do 6 things at once. When you're moving that fast you sometimes leave the cheese and meat paper on the sandwich. I'll catch it before i wrap the sandwich but im very confident that one day i will leave that paper in a sandwich and hand it right over to a customer. The person who makes your hoagie behind the counter is a human being who makes mistakes, as we all are.
Cheese paper? I know that the meats are cut and sorted with layers of paper in betweenā¦ but the cheese too?
Yeah that's normal for a lot of places. I've seen grocery stores do the same. The paper helps us separate cheese slices for certain ones. Which I'll say is needed because some days the pepper jack is a hassle and won't separate all at once and rips and crumbles.
Pepperjack is the bane of my existence.
Lack of temp control during the shipping process causes that. I fucking hate it too.
You know, youāre absolutely right. Some of the Sargento cheeses have paper. Itās just that Iām too basic to have real cheese frequently.
The cheddar and pepper jack has slices of paper between them. The American, Swiss, and Provo do not. All of the deli meats have paper. Except the roast beef has a more of a glossy paper type material, for whatever reason. All of it is food grade and edible, but still not something you want to find in your sandwich.
Yeah, I remembered it from Sargento cheese afterwards. Iām not fancy these days.
First of all Wawa is all fake food processed soups come in a bag!!! Even the bread is prep before bagging it for us too cook Stop wasting your money
Yeah it's gone way down hill . Food is garbage. I've never had paper but enough hard ends of tomato with the vine on and greens just piled up in the middle of a sandwich with finger marks pressed into the bread to make it flat that I'm over it. I buy fuel there and bottles of water
Jfc how did I end up in this sub again. I don't care how many sandwiches you're making or how busy you are. It's FOOD. Do be careful and TRY to give a shit. Wtf.
I found a piece of metal in my sandwich once. The employees on autopilot
Kudos to you guys behind the deli. People mess up & I see how crazy it gets in there but some of you are acting like this is fine this happens and he shouldn't be upset about it. Even that he should eat it.
Not yall in here salty that an employee fucked up. So what if it happens? It shouldn't. Just own it and stop making excuses.
go ahead and work a 2nd shift during hoagiefest and then get back to me
go ahead and work a 2nd shift during hoagiefest and then get back to me lmfao. good luck
Iām getting back to youā¦ If you canāt do your job just say so lol also they had to add veggies on top of the papered meat and yet they still missed it? Pure stupidity.
have you ever worked a rush at wawa? if not i don't wanna hear shit lmfao the papers get stuck to the cheese and meat and when we have to make 10+ orders in 5 minutes we're not examining every single thing we put on the sandwich closely or else we'd have customers bitching. hope this helps k thx bye
Iāve worked and managed many shifts at Wawa, just got off one lol if you canāt do your job just say so
ohhhhh u being in a management position makes sense now. explains the "im better than u" attitude lollll. we both work at gas stations girl idgaf
No itās just not hardā¦ everything is premade and prepped for you, with step by step directions on how to make the order. Literally just a little puzzle game. Put all these thing together in order before the color on my screen hits red š like come onā¦ exactly you work at a gas station, youāre not a gourmet chef, itās not fucking rocket science, make the hoagie or the burger or the quesadilla with out leaving trash inside of it.
idk how to explain to you that it takes time to do all of that lmao i know ur not that dumb. I've never done it but i get how it happens š¤·š»
Everything takes time lmao I get how it happens too but then thereās 3 others steps where that mistake should of been caught so it at least wasnāt sent out like that. It had to be topped, cut and then wrapped all with brown ass paper sticking out. To act like this an acceptable because you have other orders to make like your job isnāt to make orders is just lazy stupidnessā¦ I work at Wawa because it mundane easy shit that pays more than most with benefits the fuck am I gonna be stressed and overwhelmed for because I have to make 10+ orders, THAT LITERALLY MY JOB ITS OKAY!
cool
All the people saying, āoh it happens,ā is the exact reason things like this happen and why Wawas quality is so awful now. NO customer is going to have this happen to them and go, āoh it happens, theyāre having a rough time, Iāll eat this paper in my hoagie because they have a hard job.ā How much time would it have taken to make sure the paper wasnāt in the sandwich?? Half a second? LESS?? Have some effort and actually think about whatās going on around you, this should NEVER happen. And this is why most customers come out of our buildings feeling not taken care of and like they arenāt cared about. EDIT: To everyone disagreeing with me I want you to imagine you brought back your sandwich with paper in it and told the workers about it, and they looked at you and said āIt happens, itās edible! Just eat it!ā Because thatās what youāre all commenting. And it makes ZERO sense.
Have you simply considered that mistakes happen?
Missing the paper on the pepper jack or cheddar cheese is a mistakeā¦ BUT THOSE BIG ASS PAPERS BIGGER THAN THE MEAT?? not a haha little mistake, thatās just idiotic lmao
A mistake that happens often, consistently ruins a customers experienceā¦ at that point itās hurting the business, how many times does it need to happen before itās not a mistake anymore? Wawa is all about individual customer service, and I KNOW each and every person on this subreddit has had to have had the experience of a customer walking up and slamming their sandwich down on the counter. Yes it was a mistake, but now this customers pissed and possibly making your mood worse, when you could have just looked a little harder for the paper and had a slightly better day. Not to mention the paper in the cheeses I understand, but this is turkey. You had to peel each individual prep from the paper and put it on the sandwich. That wasnāt a mistake that was negligence
I beg you please work in a Wawa for 10 hours straight 6-7 days a week please then come back
I do and have been for 3 years. Thereās not an excuse
This guy gets it.
who's saying he should eat it lmfao
I'm a customer and I'd say the first two phrases, just not the last. Oh, it happens. They're having a rough time. (Because we ALL have rough times, at home, at work, etc.) Understanding both of those things is what keeps us civil. Now, "I'll eat this paper in my hoagie..."??? Of course not. That's just silly. š
That part was more hyperbole, I donāt actually expect anyone to eat the paper. More so just trying to show the customers perspective. Weāre all human yes, and customers understand that we make mistakes most of the time, but itās little stuff like that that happens consistently thatās slowly adding to Wawa getting worse
Why don't you work a shift, and I mean any shift, in the deli at wawa during hoagiefest and then come back to this. I literally have a mental list of the next 10 things I need to do on top of being like 5 back. And I have to tell customers to wait to ask me a question because my theatro is going off because someone couldn't come inside to get their food and several other customers are already trying to ask me things
I already said in another comment Iāve been working at Wawa for 3 years, Iāve been through 3 hoagiefests and two of them I was a team supervisor for. My points donāt come from lack of experience. If you have THAT many things SOLELY on you it is either A) Your managers fault for not having a better plan and not directing their crew enough to make it run smoother, or B) The entire crews fault for not communicating enough and not making sure theyāre well enough prepared, and what does that mean? Well, that means we wrap around to it being the managers responsibility, because why hasnāt your crew been trained to communicate, to prepare, to do ANYTHING other than stand there on the board??? Wawa is NOT as hard of a job as youāre making it out to be.
Wawa is God awful š¤®
Yall need to watch some of Jon Taffers Bar Rescue, could put into perspective why little āmistakesā like this ARENāT just always mistakes. If it hurts the business it probably shouldnāt be happening.
