Just sad that this crap is beginning to happen all over the place here in Waukesha.

Prescription drug addiction has exploded everywhere. This robbery is a desparate attempt to continue just that, an addiction. Time to wake-up Waukesha, this isn't Mayberry anymore....nor has it been for quite some time.

Waukesha has always sucked there's nothing to do here for the youth except to form alcohol or drug addictions. And the Eco crash mixed with urban sprawl is a bad combination on top of it.

Nice broad brush you're painting with there, Zec.
I was born and raised in Waukesha and spent all by 4 of my 22 years square in the middle of the city. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in 4 years and have since found employment right here in Waukesha. While I do drink, socially, I've never formed an alcohol or drug addiction. Keep generalizing.

You have to look at the big picture. Keeping yourself out of the equation usually helps when doing so. But that's great you've never done drugs and drink socially. Unfortunately as waukesha grows larger so does the crime rate. It's not so much a broad brush I'm painting with, I'm just stating statistics Dale.

Sorry that Waukeshas image has been tainted in the process.

We lost bushes also. I assumed it was from last summer's drought. We're located near Hy59 andRead More Sunset. I noticed dead trees at Prairie View and Sunset also.

I agree that the folks at this Kwik Trip are great at assisting disabled people like myself but IRead More disagree that all Kwik Trips are helpful. There is a law that all gas stations are to assist you if you have disabled plates or a hanging placard if you press the help or disabled key on the pump. If there is no key (and I think all must have them by a certain date) then you are to honk horn twice and if there are at least 2 employees on duty, they are to assist. The K/T on St. Paul is useless. I've waited there, watching at least 3 employees mill around the counter with 1 or 2 customers and ingnore me. The Grandview station same but I haven't tried them in a few months. The worst station for that is whatever the one on St. Paul and Prarie is. I pulled in to see a female worker standing on side of building smoking. When she went in she was greeted by a male worker and I was ignored by both. I'd like to do a survey on how helpful each gas station is to the disabled. Kudos to Fleetfoot Kwik Trip! Whatever they got they should share with their brethren. I would rather give my $ to K/T because they are WI based and they donate regularly to the Salvation Army

I am fine with this service--its great. However being handicapped does not mean employees need toRead More give up their breaks or other customers need to let you cut in line in front of their service needs.
