f@#$ing SHEETZ

Post by mjb »

sheetz brought back the x-large coffee $1.49. they had priced all sizes at .99 took it away for a while then brought it back and added a quater to the price. typical sheetz pricing stratagy. i'm all for making some money, but sheetz........ man, they are some greedy bastards. greedy might not be the right word, i mean they're in it to make money, of course i understand that. they have to be making a killing on that coffee to begin with. did they have to jack it up like that. oh well, its a treat for me to get out in the morning anymore, before we had a baby that was my routine in the morning get up , go get a cup of jo and let the day unfold. now its get up, tramp on one of my daughters toys, quietly mutter god dammit under my breathe and try to find the time to make may own pot of coffee and then play play play all day. i wouldn't trade that for anything. life is good!

I like their $1.99 meatball sub...without cheese. Of course, if you want cheese, it is .59 more because Sheetz' cheese is made of fucking gold. And the one in Johnstown I was at was charging for condiments on the .99 Jr. Hamburger, which also had 59 cent cheese slices.

Lately, Sheetz food (at least at our local store) has been making me ... how can I say this politely ... "not feel good." :?

Maybe I'm not understanding this. Is anyone making you spend your money there? If you do not like the price of their products, shop elsewhere.

They are called a convenience store, not a discount store. You pay for the convenience of having that store in practical locations. Support the stores that you think charge the prices you think are appropriate.

Aren't the freedoms we have in America great?

maybe it's just been the sheetz in Palmyra... and Chambersburg.... and Huntingdon.... and Mount Union..... and Shippensburg.... and Lebanon...

but ever since the elevated the prices... they can't seem to make a sandwich that stays within the confines of the bread...


example: the Palmyra sheetz is just a half mile from my office -- which means in the afternoons... i frequent sheetz (hey, Sheetz is as Central PA as "crick", and dropping the g at the end of words) and my favorite sub is the italian - with pepperoni and xtra cheddar --- lately, i open the glorious wrapper to find meat, cheese, mayo, and italian dressing hanging out with the wrapper because it busted the bun... this happens every time now...

i dont know if it's the sandwich artists... or the bread... or if they went cheaper, or if they're overdoing the meat... i don't know. but to say the least -- sheetz can suck my cock right now...


(you watch me end up there today...)

Well, the price of my Red Alert (Double shot of Espresso with Serious Dark Roast) hasn't gone up (still $2.21) so I am happy.

The thing about Sheetz coffee is that it has ruined my home coffee experience. I can't duplicate same quality of espresso/dark roast at home. Fortunately, they are putting the espresso bar in the Cresson location, which means my weekends will soon be including morning Sheetz runs.

I love the $1.99 price on subz. I can do without cheese.

Hail Sheetz!

What are you, some kind of communist or something? Sandwiches require two things to qualify as a sandwich:

• Cheese
• Bacon

Gary, the reason everything breaks loose from your MTO is because the bread is old. Fresh bread holds everything in place.

MTO is subpar to say the least and, as JP pointed out in another thread, the new "lower prices" campaign is a smoke screen. The food I usually order there costs much more than it used to. They've also taken some key buttons off their ordering screens (chili, fire roasted tomato sauce to name a few) and they're using stale bread most of the time(at least at the stores I frequent).

Of course, they have us by the balls. Where else you gonna go at 3 a.m. to get some after-gig sustenance?

Yeah. come to think of it, you're right. I just don't understand why they would use terribly stale bread (although Hummelstown Sheetz doesn't...) the bread used to be so bangin and now it's blah at best... derail the subway? yeah... with your unbeliveably stale bread...

Yeah. Nothing pisses me off more than when Sheetz eliminates Pepperoni or other condiments from the kiosks... another thing - their burgers went up in price... but down in size, and as previously mentioned.. the bread..

SHEETZ food in general has slowly been going down hill for the past few years. I know a few of the drivers, and one who is a friend confirmed my suspicions, that theyve changed vendors. They're paying less for thier supplies, and not passing the savings onto you. In the process the quality thier sandwiches has gone right down the toilet. Expansion baby! Its a wonderfull thing.

True Americans don't eat at Sheetz

Post by tornandfrayed »

Come on! True Americans don't eat at Sheetz! Those sandwiches are not the right level of food! Give me 99 cent Bacon Cheesburgers at Wendys! Give me the ever popular 99 cent Double Cheesburger at McDonalds! 99 cent Whopper Jr at ( U No! ).

Now that is eatin! I can feel my blood flow slowing to a crawl, better have a cig and a shot of Jack to get motivated!

Dam Sheetz what are you a tree huggin health nut! Fags! They probably sell quiche!

Also I am glad to be reminded that we as Americans do have the right to eat any shitty ass kissin fast food that we want! That is part of what makes us strong for God's sack! And I can choose to have fries or not! It is my God given right and I will kill anyone who tries to take it away from me! They would have to pry those fries right out of my swollen, cholesterol ridden, pasty little fingers!

Without the God given right for people to sell fast food that is akin to poison and without our right to stuff our fat ass faces with the shit and jam it down our kids throat at every chance America would be half the country we are today! Weight wise that is!

I don't know if it varies from store to store, but the Meadows Sheetz is supposed to have lowered their 6" hoagie price to $1.99. Apparently, this is to undercut Subway.

That's pretty cheap for a custom hoagie.

At $3-3.50, their burgers have always been ridiculous. It makes no sense to go to Sheetz for a burger.

Yeah, that's the deal,, Jeff, but again the catch is it's $1.99 as long as your don't want anything "normal" on it. Start adding toppings and, in some cases, the damn things cost more than they used to ...

For the record, I don't really like Subway either. Ever since they stopped cutting the rolls the "old way" (you remember the bread "lid" that held everything inside nice and neat) it's just a goddamn hoagie.

I could have told you that they changed vendors. They did it after that salmonella trouble. Kunzler has been feeling the affect of it every since, as they are no longer the only ones doing all their meat. And what they do do is "Economy" meat, which is a lower grade of what they used to use.

It's like the roast beef they used to use. The old stuff was good, and I don't like roast beef, the new stuff is like chewing on a peace of rubber. Not to mention it also stinks.

if anything has made you sick, Rob, it could be from the economy meat. I noticed that their was a nauseating feeling after I ate as well, which is the reason I haven't had a sheets sub since they switched over - All I get now when I get a sheets sub is a hot dog or hamburger.

As for coffee - I paid $1.49 for a medium today. I let the girl at the register know that I will voicing my opinion to Steve Sheetz when I see him at the "Big" meeting ;)

I usually would get either a chicken or a steak wrap after a gig. I generally keep a running tally of how much I "clear" after a gig, including fuel and after-gig snacks, because I'm just stingy like that. I noticed that my wraps were always under $5 but now they are over $5. I've since switched over to the cold turkey wraps, which I enjoy very much, and still cost me under $5. I wonder if this is a sign of universal inflation in the economy.

I never bought gas at the 17th Street Sheetz until a few weeks ago. I really liked being able to pay cash at the pumps. I generally hate the whole process of stopping for gas, especially in winter, so I liked that a lot.
