Certain people I know have long loathed the East Coast's Wawa convenience stores. It's been so long I can't even remember what the original beef was (which is the textbook definition of Irish Alzheimer's Disease, by the way), but here's a policy I'd never known about which makes me view the company in a somewhat different light:
While many companies - with airlines at the top of the list - are trying to be ever more inventive with ways to squeeze dollars out of their customers during tough economic times, Wawa Inc. is celebrating something it offers customers for free: access to their money at an ATM.
This month, someone will make the one billionth surcharge-free automated teller machine withdrawal at a Wawa, the company said. To mark the occasion, it is staging a parade Wednesday morning from LOVE Park to the Wawa at 17th and Arch Streets in Center City.
Wawa estimated that its ATMs have saved consumers $1.3 billion since their introduction in 1996.
