Wawa manager uses cell-phone jammer
So a Wawa manager in Montgomery County planted a cell-phone jammer by the cash register to block people from making or receiving calls while they were in line?
On Saturday, Hinson told police a Wawa internal investigation revealed the device was indeed a cell phone jamming device that belonged to a Leslie Kaun, a manager at the convenience store, who allegedly admitted to the company’s IT staff that the device was hidden and used to "jam" signals of customers who were using their cell phones while making their purchase, authorities reported.
Illegal. But awesome.
Update: Just talked to West Conshohocken Police Chief Michael Sinclair, who said he is now being told by Wawa that the company's internal investigation is still open, and that it is unclear which employee owned the device.
“It was still a cell-jamming device, but it’s an open investigation,” Sinclair said. “They need an opportunity to finish their internal investigation … They’re saying it’s a he-said-she-said situation.”
Sinclair said he’d consult with the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office regarding possible charges. The Federal Communications Commission also has been notified.
Cashiers! take our money and shut up! Who cares they we are talking to someone else. Half the time the cashiers at my WAWA dont even look up we they are checking me out— Kcrul147- Great idea...What's so important that it can't wait til ya get back to your car...BUT..before you start driving?!!? NOTHING.— Edn
- A well known wannabe high end restaurant did something similar. The manager who thinks is the owner, didn't know that the cell phone frq jammer only jammed his service provider lol. Employees & customers have the last laugh.— Jjklee
- can i get one for my wife?— manly
- Good for her. Ignoramus' that can't get off the damn phone long enough to get their smokes.
- Wish I had one of those so I could jam the morons in front of me who are talking on the phone and not paying attention to their transaction and holding up the line.— lonestar2000
- I love it. People being on their cell make the line move slower.— phillyccgwm

- this is brilliant and should be used everywhere. Not only dont i want to hear about your baby daddy issues while i am buying my morning coffee i dont want to want an extra five minutes while you try to juggle your phone and find your money— amann08
I have seen stores in my area that have refused service to people on phones, they even have signs posted stating that. Manners seem to be a thing of the past— cappy- Who is going to pay the fine from the FCC the employee or Wawa.— tiredoftheb#
- I don't have a problem with it. I wish they would put them in libraries, movie theaters, book stores, restaurants, and many other places.— maximus18966
- I used to have a coworker who made me wish, fervently, that cell phone jammers were legal. That person was ALWAYS on their cell phone instead of working. You know it's bad when you have an employee on a cell phone when they're supposed to be WAITING ON PEOPLE IN LINE. I still don't know how that individual kept their job. Must have had compromising pics of someone higher up.— Gabey8
