They used to be smooth, but the base layer under the bricks couldn’t handle to weight of all the vehicles and the bricks settled. That’s why a lot of people veer to the extreme edge of the lane when passing through there, because the bricks haven’t dropped as much on the sides.

Couldn't disagree more. Sheetz has more variety and much better ingredients. At least they did like 5 years ago when we were closer to a Sheetz. I'm still bummed that Wawa is closest to us now. Hell, Wawa only just added burgers a couple months ago. And you can't even get them for lunch yet.

WaWa has started to card everyone for the purchase of beer and cigarettes, and that upsets a lot of adults in my area. Sheetz gas is superior. WaWa has a kiosk for quick purchases, but you can’t purchase gas on it like Sheetz (Wtf). The only thing Sheetz lacks in is “Togo” foods. Rather bland and unappealing compared to WaWa.

Reply to Parent tries to teach son positivity about police. He ends up with brain injury. by ludba2002

My partner is autistic. They have a hard time dealing with certain stressful situations. Recently, a man followed them in their car and forced them to pull over, claiming my partner had hit their car (they hadn't).

The man made threats, the police were called, and my partner was starting to have a panic attack. The police treated my partner like a nuisance, told them to be more aware of their surroundings, and that they were lucky a ticket wasn't written, like they were the problem, and not the man who was trying to claim his undamaged car had been hit.

We worked it out later with the insurance company, who denied the guy's claim and told us not to worry.

Police often can't handle interactions with neurotypical individuals, good luck if you aren't.
