When you ran on an agenda for being soft on crime this is what happens. Businesses have to make a profit to operate and can’t do that with blatant retail theft

It isn't even theft, it was valid safety concerns. The broad and walnut wawa was super stabby. Bunch of homeless folks would congregate outside there and get into battles.

And 5 women recently stole from a wawa in university city and pepper sprayed the girl working behind the counter. So fucked up.

And that’s how you quickly turn retail theft into robbery

It's not even safety concerns, it's liability. If a Wawa employee is hurt or killed on the job that's an automatic workers comp claim. And almost certainly a civil suit on top.

Honestly, the Wawa in Plymouth Meeting (to be fair, on the Norristown border) has had a double shooting and a recent stabbing in the parking lot in the last 2 years. Even outside the city, it seems like Wawa's just attract trouble.

Amen to that. I live in Philly suburbs ( rich horse country) and there are drug busts and stabbings at our Wawa’s too.

Ah yes. All the criminals in philadelphia are just poor victims trying to survive, and Wawa is a store for rich people.

It’s a Wawa you don’t need monster energy drinks and bags of Crisp to survive. There’s a marked difference between someone who walks into Payless and “ exchanges “ their old worn out sneakers with new ones and leaves vs the person who lifts a couple pair of Jordan’s from footlocker to resell later
