Breakfast of the Apocalypse

Unless you’re fortunate enough to live in one of the six states (Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina) that have Sheetz stores, you don’t know what you’re missing. Sheetz is a chain of 400 convenience stores that offer a made-to-order fast food menu of such awesomeness words can’t quite describe it.

Mrs. Other McCain abandoned us this weekend to attend a Christian women’s retreat in Ohio, so it was just my two youngest sons and me. (She took the baby daughter with her, and the 19-year-old twin sons fend for themselves.) This morning I made a run to Sheetz to pick up three breakfast “Shmuffinz” prepared my special way, with egg, steak, pesto and mozzarella cheese.

After placing the order, I paid at the register, then waited until they called my number. That’s when I looked at my ticket and saw . . .

  1. “I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods in My presence…”  Commandment #1 (aka keep holy the Sabbath). 

    “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk” (Exodus 23:19, 34:26; Deuteronomy 14:21).

    You are so in trouble…

  2. I satanly hope you retained that receipt.

  3. Good grief, man. We have not only Sheetz…at least three of them, now in Lancaster City alone, but also a half dozen WaWas, which are like Sheetzes, but with a funny name. And yes, it is bliss going there at dark thirty a.m. to order a sammie and a MILKSHAKE…which you make yourself. Sigh of contentment.

  4. Wawa’s okay, but they don’t have Sheetz’ loyalty program.  Sadly, neither one has a store convenient to this part of Northern Virginia.

  5. That’s partially sad, Wombat.  at leetz you have Sheetz. We can use our Weis grocery cards at Sheetz for gas points, too, and our grocery purchases add up to at most 30 percent off gas at Sheetz. But Wawa has revamped its deli, and it has some very good offerings. I’m impressed with them, and they are close to where I live.

  6. Thanks, McCain, you’ve doomed us all!
    (Still, from the ingredient list, that looks like a sinfully good sandwich.)

  7. Well, I have Sheetz if I want to drive out by Dulles or north to Frederick. I think there’s one by Quantico, for that matter…but we’re talking a 45-60 minute drive at the best of times. 🙁
