Wronger Than Wrong
I fully respect that my kids should be individuals separate from me with their own opinions and stuff. See also: the Big Kid will be performing at two dance competitions and a cheer competition next weekend and I haven't whined at all. Yet. I mean, I will end up whining because that's a lot of things that aren't my cup of tea, but it all makes her happy so WHATEVER.
She's allowed to be wrong about glitter and sparkle stuff being fun, just like I'm allowed to be wrong about how very fun creepy dolls can be.
This time, however, my children have taken it too far. THEY THINK GAS STATIONS SERVE REAL FOOD.
It's awful. Somehow, somewhere along the line the two of them have gotten the idea that Sheetz is a legitimate place to go get a meal. They feel the same way about GetGo. THEY ARE WRONG.
Gas stations are for gas. Fast food restaurants are for fast food. Just like I'd rather not get gas from a fast food place, I don't need food from my gas place.
I don't know how to undo this horror, but I'm going to find a way. Because NO. When I say, "Where do you want to stop for dinner?" I do not need the two of them to unanimously vote for a gas station.

But it's Sheetz!? If memory serves me correctly, they have some tasty sandwiches. I don't know GetGO but I know Sheetz. Sheetz and WaWa rank as little towns. At least the ones I have visited.
They do down South and in the southwest. They have restaurants in the gas station with booths and full meals. Some just have homemade tamales or fried burritos, etc.
I don't know their current marketing strategy, but I know in the past, one of the Sheetz founders said they saw their stores as (fast food) restaurants with incidental gas stations attached. I'm in no rush to eat at a GetGo, but eating at Sheetz is perfectly legitimate. If you're a purist, though, you may want to stop getting gas there.
When we first moved here Sheetz was a WONDER. What do you mean they're open 24 hours and will make any kind of food at all and not just burgers? I often forget that Sheetz even has gas pumps. Restaurant first, everything else after.
