Somebody tell Benitez

[reldnahkram]

For those of you not on wawa_lovers, here's a link. Basically, the furries at Anthrocon, held in dowtown Philly, more or less overran the local Wawa. Just thought I'd share.

We've been slowly training Jamison to crumble every time furries are mentioned, so we have a backup Benitez for when he's not around. It's quite amusing.

Also, it seems like local convenience & food stores would have learned by now to have extra staff & stock on hand when there's a con nearby. I imagine a lot of regular folks were severely inconvenienced by the hordes of hungry congoers.

Re djpompeius: Well done.

Local convenience stores in the middle of major cities probably don't pay much attention to cons. When I was at Purdue for the summer (two years ago), I went to a day of GenCon in Indianapolis. At something like 9 PM I went to a burger joint (Steak 'n Shake, I think), which got the double wammy of the con and a marching band competition (Con was in the RCA Center's convention hall, marching bands were on the RCA dome's field). They were very busy, but unphased. A downtown store should be able to handle that kind of load, be it con or business convention.

Ahh, the RCA Dome! So many memories!

There was a huge uproar in philadelphia a while ago about people protesting the con... it was nuts and got nasty, then got deleted (also the mod of wawa_lovers also mods philadelphia - I saw she posted on that thread). I don't know, that stuff weirds me out (furries, obviously NOT Wawa!)
