Romney was apparently amazed by a Wawa. I don’t know what a Wawa is, but apparently I’m supposed to find everything about it pretty normal and laugh at Romney for finding it interesting at all. It looks like the left is trying to make this like the apocryphal H. W. Bush being amazed by a supermarket scanner incident, but I never really got that stereotype of a rich person being amazed by everyday things. Shouldn’t the stereotype be that a rich person finds things we consider amazing to be uninteresting because, being so rich, they already have way cooler stuff. “You silly hoi polloi find the new iPad interesting? How droll. That technology is nothing compared to the robot butler I have who disintegrates poor people with its laser eyes if they get too close to my house.” Come on. Romney has an elevator for his cars; like he actually find any of our everyday conveniences interesting.
WTF is a wawa? That’s like trying to ridicule someone because they don’t know what a jerkinhead is.
Think Stuckey’s for yuppies…
And I’ll bet you non-Wisconsin yokels don’t even know what a “bubbler” is.
A broken sprinkler pipe.
DamnCat, a “Wawa” is a television reporter with the first name of Barbara.
The best part is the creative editing by Andrea Mitchell’s team. Watch the second video to see what Mitt was really amazed by.
Nothing should surprise me about these people, but they keep surprising me anyway.
I know what a bubbler is (Firefox doesn’t but that’s ok cuz it stillllllll says Obama is not a word đŸ˜€ ) but I never heard of a Wawa and even if I had I wouldn’t give a dime to a business that calls itself that. Kinda like Twitter , a “smoothie” or gay marriage, no, just no.
A bubbler, isn’t that when jojo biden takes a bath?
Does Wawa sell arugula?
Bubblers are from a time when men were men and drank their water from pipes!
“WAWA” is the noise liberals will be making the day after the election!
A bubbler is Biden in a tub after eating a burrito supreme.
I don’t know about this; it WAS pretty funny when Teresa Heinz Kerry had to ask what Chili is when she visited a Wendy’s with John Kerry.
these rich people today with their monocles and their Dusenbergs…
A Wawa is just a convenience store. Nothing special about it (compared to others). It does have a touch screen ordering system and, I guess if I was to step back and look at it objectively, it’s pretty impressive. You can order probably a hundred food items (pretzel dogs, subs/hoagies of all types, variety of milkshakes, etc), made to order, and take the printout to the register. They scan it, you pay, and by the time you’re finished buying doritos, a coke and your hoagie, your order is finished and ready for pickup.
Why did Wawa do this? I suppose you can look at a regional competitor, Sheetz. They implemented the MTO (Made To Order) system. Touch screen orddering back in the 90s. Wawa had to adjust or risk losing business to a more efficient model. Of course, maybe Wawa was first with it and Sheetz had to adjust. Six of one, half dozen of the other. Large, successful business adjusted to new demands of the market.
