Oh well, I'll never be in another Cumberland Farms again...I don't go into 7-11, since it is now owned by the Japanese. I don't  buy foreign if I can buy American. I loved CFarms, but I'll take my money to Wawa!!

Of course, you might be in the one (or one of very few) spots where you can do that (Florida?) - Wawa isn't in most of the Cumberland farms areas (Northeast).

Really is too bad. They made quite a come back down here in SE CT over the past few years, renovating most of their old, outdated stores, and also building some new stores.
