SHEETZ PUMPKIN PIE LATTE REVIEW (VIDEO) - HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN

The Halloween Countdown continues on the Robert Dyer Channel. Pumpkin Spice Lattes are a dime-a-dozen these fall days (except for McDonald's odd decision to not bring theirs back this year), but I stumbled across an alternative to the ubiquitous beverage while on the road this weekend.

Sheetz has a different concept - a Pumpkin Pie Latte, rather than Pumpkin Spice. The ordering process is unique as well at Sheetz. The convenience store and mega gas station eliminates the need to use Starbucks lingo at the counter (and the often misspelled name on your cup) by letting you place the order on a touchscreen. Pick exactly what you want added to your coffee on the screen (including an extra shot of pumpkin pie flavor or an espresso shot), pay at the cashier counter, and wait for your number to be called to pick up your Pumpkin Pie Latte.

Was it worth the (short) wait? Watch my review to find out. Sheetz is in several nearby states, including Maryland (of course), Virginia, West Virginia, and its home base of Pennsylvania.

    I've been wanting a sheetz in moco for many years now. That would be fantastic.

      12:19 Yeah, I'm surprised they don't have one in Clarksburg, Germantown or Burtonsville - all logical locations that are autocentric and along major highways.

    So how far did you have to go to get that?

    Sheetz' target market of stoned milennials all left when they closed Dave & Buster's.

      2:57: Virginia. There was a very diverse age range of customers at the time I was there. Teens, millennials, middle-age adults, and even a senior citizen ordering a pizza.

    Getting farther and farther from Bethesda, I see.

    I knew it wouldn't stop with South Rockville.

    Virginia? I'm sure you meant to write Southeast Bethesda, right?

      Yeah, that's a radical bummer, dude, when the council gives their $150,000-salary county "Chief Innovation Officer" a slush fund to buy rich kid toys at taxpayer expense, and tell him he, like, can't play with them when word leaks out. And then spin it by diverting the topic from the slush fund to the need for a drone policy. Paging Joel Higgins.

    The Sheetz website took me back, but in a homey way. They sound quite earnestly invested in their customers.
