Don't forget about Wawa and Sheetz, elevating gas stations in the treat category as well

I appreciate that Wawa doesn’t mark up its treats as much as the other gas stations. Every time I go to a 7/11 or some other random stop I’m reminded of how bad gas station prices can be.

I thought Royal Farms was from the south?

Well, Maryland is kinda the South.

It is south of the Mason Dixon Line.

It's always been in a bit of a limbo. Baltimore had riots during the Civil War between pro-Confederates and pro-Unionists (most of the Unionists were German immigrants interestingly since they tended to lean more left at the time).

Baltimore: where the industrial decay of the North meets the casual racism of the South.

Washington D.C.: Southern Efficiency and Northern Hospitality (ascribed to JFK)

Northern Hospitality

I’ve never been randomly shouted at by store owners in DC?

No disrespect to Wawa or Sheetz, but they are mere ants before the gas station treat behemoth that is Buc-ee’s.
