Wawa has now introduced a cool little
computerized checker
doo-dad to their stores. Basically, instead of actual human interaction with the Wawa employees who make the hoagies, you can order your
hoagie (or
hot sandwich,
cold sandwich, etc - hoagies are the top choice though) from a
computer console. This console has tons of options (
Ex: Do you want a Little Bit Of Oil, Oil, or A Lot Of Oil?). You tap the options you want, hit "
Finished", and the console prints out a typed
order form with a
number on it.
You then hand this to the checkout guy, and pay for your hoagie. He stamps your order form with a "PAID" stamp - you've now paid for your hoagie, and the hoagie-makers have looked on their computer screens and seen something like: 'Hey, TOM wants a Classic Italian with oil, mustard, and a LOT of pickles.' They'll then make your hoagie, put it on the counter, and yell the number that's on your order form. Accordingly, you take your hoagie, put your paid-for order form in a little bin, and get the hell out of Wawa with your hard-earned booty. Ah, the benefits of technology..
