GetGo

Get Go has great prices and the fact that you can use your advantage card for discounts on food and gas make it even better. They also always have some sort of special going on for their made to order food, which by the way is 10 times better than anytime at sheetz with a much larger selection.

It’s Tuesday afternoon, I’m done with my 8 hour grind, I am almost out of gas, I’m hungry, and I am in a serious hurry to get home. What to do for dinner? Well, since I am filling up my car’s gas tank, why not my own tank? I pulled up to an empty fuel pump and scanned my Giant Eagle Advantage Card. Yeah, I know, lots of places have those annoying cards that you can put on your key chain and scan for points or some other incentive, but I sigh as I am asked if I wish to redeem my «fuel-​perks». I LOVE fuel-​perks/​food perks from Giant Eagle! This is one incentive that will help me stay out of the Big Box Mart and away from Exx-​obile-​PB. And each gallon of gas gets me a percentage off of my overall grocery bill, as my grocery bill gets me cents off per gallon of gas. The fuel pump also asks me if I was to get a car wash (which will be added to my gasoline total on the same transaction!!!). The one time I got a car wash from GetGo I was THRILLED that you had 7 days to get the wash! You don’t even have to get the wash immediately!
On to the dinner I ordered. If I had to review this location on just the made-​to-​order food, I’d only give it a 2… MAYBE a 3. My bacon and cheese biscuit was cold and dry, and the nachos were soggy from the cheese and stuck to the top of the container they came in. At least the serving of nachos was very generous, I couldn’t even finish them. The fruit smoothie I ordered was ok, but the consistency from the fruit (frozen fruit I believe) almost make me choke. At least the cookie I got was wonderfully soft and gooey!!! This is the second time in a row that I have been sorry I ordered food from the GetGo kitchen, and I don’t think I’ll do it again. I will continue to get my fuel from this place. It is quick and easy to get in and out. Literally, GET GOing!

Shockingly I’ve yet to visit a Sheetz despite their fairly recent upratchet and having a childhood pal who proudly works for them. Watching The Venture Bros. DVD boxed set (we’re on Volume 3 now) gave Kay some late-​night stomach growls, and she needed gas anyway, so hey, how bad could it be, y’know?
GetGo’s Red Velvet Gobs own ye all, and that includes that trendy urban bakery chain called 12 or Half-​Dozen or whatever. It’s sad (or righteously hilarious really) that a City Paper-​lauded bake shop can’t make a cake as moist and thick as GetGo does with a sugary icing in-​between that defeats them at their own game.
They make a better bread than Subway ever did, but their tuna salad is a little too heavy on the mayo.
I’m deducting a star (I won’t give a GetGo more than a 4) for the impersonal touchscreen ordering system. Isn’t that moronic, especially when the person manning the kitchen is right… there…in front of you???
