"At Wawa, nothing is more important to us than the safety and security of our associates and our customers. “I also know Wawa has been testing drive-thru and walk-up window options. “Aside from tons of theft and the late-night fights, I’ve been fortunate in not having anything too serious ever happen during my shifts, but I’ve worked at stores and had coworkers who were witness to much more serious stuff,” Deary said.

Police in Bucks County being sought for two armed robberies at two different Wawa locations, including on Holland Road.” Joe Crescente, 44, worked at a Wawa in New Hope and said the decision to close the two stores is a bad idea because Wawa represents Philadelphia. He sees the chain’s move as a symptom of a larger issue. “Anything that’s getting pinned on Wawa is not a Wawa problem alone — it’s a citywide problem,” he said.

Keep reading to hear from other past employees and how they feel . One potential solution for store thefts and violence, he said, could be reverting to the purchase pick-up system that some locations used at the height of the pandemic.
