We have nutty traffic here at this wawa, and a lot of the drivers telling us the worse drivers theyve seen are at the gas station, because everybodys backing in, trying to fight for pump space, and this is worse than looking for a parking spot on black friday. Looking for an open gas pump. And they got ten pumps here, 12 pumps, let me count, now up to 15 pumps here, and theyve added some because now theyve got diesel fuel. And people are coming between the pumps like this car, and then people are coming and going out of the driveway, so already seeing craziness around here. And when you are competing with big trucks, you got to watch out. So still dark out. People are driving like crazy here at the wawa. So there is your warning. Plus you got people want to go just get coffee and get out of here. So thats tough. But everybodys in a good mood, at least when we put the mike in front of their face, and here are some of the people with some advice on traveling on one of the busiest days of the year.
