Gas station food

Yes I am certain most commercial kitchens are terrible. QT makes your food in the open. You can watch. I have no idea if that makes it any better. As a kid I ate lunch from a sack that in the summer sat in the sun for a while before I ate it in some field or jobsite. Possibly why I can more or less eat anything now without much issue?
Anything in particular?
No different than most restaurants. Or even the grocery store in a lot of ways for that matter.
I am not taking the family out for dinner at Wawa. Usually just grab and go / last resort.

The local grocery chain "Harris Teeter" which was bought out by Kroger still makes the sushi right behind the glass counter - and you can watch. Its all pre cooked ingredients - not really sushi. Imitation crab, shrimp, california is obviosly veggie. They roll and package and set it out in the cooler. Not saying its great, but I have eaten it too.
My Wawa favorite is the turkey panini. I get is a few times a month. It comes with turkey, spinach, pepper jack cheese, salsa, and chipotle mayo. I customize it to hold off the salsa. We have better hoagie places than Wawa in NJ like Primo but they're not open at 10pm. The Wawa gobbler bowl available in November really good.
Don't get my wife started on that. She'll come home after a Wawa gas fill-up and rant to me for half an hour about some inconsiderate miscreant blocking the pumps.
Some people don’t even intend to purchase gas and still park in front of a pump.
Point of clarification - those places no longer consider themselves gas stations. They are food-focused convenience stores that also happen to sell fuel.
I've ran across a few gas stations that have excellent broasted chicken. The amount of meat on the pieces are enormous and the breading/seasoning are great. Only problem is it takes quite a bit of time to broast it apparently so you can't order it and wait to get it fresh. They tend to make a number of batches during the day and when they run out, they're done for the day.

I swing shifts weekly (day and afternoon), and I hate to admit it but on afternoon week at 2am on the way home I'll stop at Sheetz probably 2 times. I live in a rural area and a sheetz is the only thing open 24hrs. I'll order my food in app, pay for and pump my ethh 88 gas in app and go in an pickup food. I'm in PA and I know sheetz vs wawa is heated, I'll say this. Wawa is trash
Won't lie, I've eaten more than my share of gas station hot dogs and tornados. Especially when I was a satellite TV technician, it was hard to take time to have a proper lunch. Now-a-days when I'm traveling, I'll look for a gas station that has a fast food franchise attached to it, like BK or Subway. It's not the best, but at least I know what to expect.
This^^^^. Once I stopped eating questionable foods from questionable places, I've never had the 24 hour bug again.
I am pretty sure if the office crowd rolled in to one of these places at 5AM they would be shocked at the traffic.
Yes Sheetz is pretty good compared to Wawa. Have eaten there several times on trips. I hope they don't spiral downwards like Wawa.
If I'm up early and craving a ton of empty calories the Sheetz Sausage Egg and Cheese Shmacker with a big-assed Monster is the move.

Coffee and a buttered roll is as far as I go for gas station food.

Good idea - likely an actual restaurant a mile away …
