I stopped at one. It didn't even have that giant KitKat bar that's required for Interstate driving.

And to think we used to be a country.

I know, right? It was the only f'n reason I stopped. They failed. Every two-bit gas station from Maine to San Diego has that, but not Buc-ee's. And I didn't even need a restroom. /s

We have Stewart’s Shoppes in Upstate and Northern New York. They’re small, their branded stuff is really good, and they have the big KitKat without all the other bullshit.
Only downside is when there are lots of people getting ice cream and only one person is working.

The world existed just fine before this Chinese goods distributor disguised as a gas station came into existence. Now I will just have Wawa, Sheetz, 7-11, Royal Farms, Rutters and Highs left to chose from in my area

You just killed me. I moved back home to CT after living in PA for fifteen years. I will miss Royal Farms chicken forever

I’ll honor his decision by never using this gas station chain while visiting the south. No need to support MAGA nuts.

Imagine your pussy hurts so much you can't put a gas station in a potentially key business location bc someone with dyed hair might walk in.

Coming from a blue state I recently took a road trip through TN and saw numerous billboards for this company. Apparently their claim to fame is clean restrooms. By chance never did end up stopping at one. Now that I've learned I'm not welcome there I never will.

You're too good for that trash company anyway. =D

They do have clean bathrooms and the big locations have like 20+ stalls, so on regular trips between the big cities in my state, I typically always stop at Bucee's to drop a deuce or take a whizz, then hit the road again without buying anything. I don't like their food so if we're hungry there's usually always somewhere nearby we can get a bite to eat.

Our electoral politics created this idea of "blue states" and "red states," but that's not the way things are.
There are blue areas (usually a city and the surrounding regions,) and there are red areas (usually rural.) My own state of Georgia is a good example of this. Because of our winner-take-all system, GA became a blue state when Obama won the state, and turned red when Trump won it.
Did the whole state become liberal or conservative? No, of course not.

So when "red" states vote for a democrat in 2028 are they going to tear down their Buc-Ees there huh?

The emperor does love the uneducated.
They repeatedly prove that ignorance.
I’m not the only one weary and heartsick of those daily reminders.

Id rather go to wawa any day over buccees . Its just a bigger mid gas station and always has been. First time i stopped at one i was so fucking disappointed......... like everyone made it out to be this cool Experience when its literally just a bigger gas station with slightly better food but still worse than Actual restaurant food.

They’re putting one near Milwaukee.. I really don’t know why. They have Kwik Trip’s there and they’re definitely better than Buc-ee’s

u/WickedAsh111 8d ago
Luckily for me, the places I drive through that have Bigot Beaver also have Quik Trip (QT). Their bathrooms are clean AND their food is yummy

They were going to build one on I-85 in SC. Not built yet. Not sure if they dropped their plans. Stopped my first and last time at one in Knoxville. Wow you're easily entertained if you find these establishments attractive.

I wonder if Buc-ees CEO knows that in blue states, people make $17,000 more per year to spend in his stores.

I’d rather go to gas station where the owner’s son puts cameras in the bathrooms and hoards child porn. Oh wait! That’s Buc-ee’s!

I went to a Buc-ees when visiting in Ohio. I don't think it was bad, but not amazing. Basic fast food.We have Dicks and Masterburger here in the Seattle area which IMO is much better. Better politics as well.

We have one in very blue Virginia. Looks boring. Just more junk at inflated prices. I can get that anywhere.

buckee’s is quite simply an attraction for the bored traveler. We went into one not far from McKinney Texas because … bathroom. I will never go into one of those cheap, awful places again. Quik Trip, Casey’s, a series of small gas station restaurants from Texas to Illinois. But like all things Trump like… Buckees is not even in the running. Such an idiot of a CEO. So many people… I hate places that are nothing more than tourist traps. My dream is to live in a blue state again… Missouri used to be one, Texas used to be one, Illinois where I visit regularly… is a blue state

u/Live-Astronaut-5223 4d ago
Arch Aplin the face of Buckees…. Is a cruel employer… in labor, you better come in. Flu and temp of 104… you better come in. Broken leg… you damn well better come in. And apparently ay cartoon animal will get you sued out of existence. this man is a criminal. But the good news… he is 80
