In March we drove to Fla for spring break (13 of us & I'm too cheap to fly them all), but people are bat shit crazy in Georgia about a Texas sized convenience store, with 100 gas pumps, maybe that many bathroom stalls/urninals, all kinds of crappy snacks & drinks, a million kitschy souvenirs though they do have decent sandwiches for travelling. Hell there were traffic jams getting out of the parking lot, had to drive around to find an open pump; I swear these are the same red-neck idiots who will stop to see the worlds biggest ball of string.....which we would also stop at for Mrs. Fairway. And yes she did buy Buc-ee nuggets to bring back home to friends and family FML (sidenote - I cannot believe there is not a thread for all things Buc-ee's on this board, or maybe I couldn't find it) I'll take Smile Gas over Bucee's. They have killer ribs.
April 13, 20232 yr I have always wondered how many of those fuel tanks they have buried under their parking lot. Last time I stopped at one was coming back from Kansas and it is the one by Texas Motor Speedway. They must have 200 or more gas pumps there.
April 13, 20232 yr Yeah the larger stores have become a nightmare to deal with. There used to be a couple you could order food at the pump, that was badass and cut down wait time. I don’t understand people buying merchandise with a fucking beaver on it like they are sponsored by the place. I don’t want gas station gear.

April 13, 20232 yr Nothing more than a white trash tourist trap with nice shitters. I'm amazed/disgusted at how many people love them, but then I'm amazed/disgusted by a lot of society today.

April 14, 20232 yr There is Bucees like convenience store chain popping up around South Texas called The Texan. I think their biggest store which most resembles this is off US 59 in Victoria? Unlike Bucees they accommodate Truckers albeit they don’t have scales like Loves or Pilot so it’s not a full service Truck Stop. I do wonder how long it will be until Bucees sues them for what they think might be trademark infractions? They took a store that many are familiar with to court that is between Corpus in San Antonio on I 37 near Three Rivers called Choke Canyon and won. https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Buc-ee-s-beaver-trademark-texas-choke-canyon-gator-12934353.php
April 14, 20232 yr Yeah I have been seeing them for about 2 years now. The one you are talking about is at 59 and 185 heading to Bloomington. It has a dog park area. I think they are also GQP donors.

Now I learn it's something to do with scales. * if Vic was a trucker, he could lead the whores over to the scales, and then select the heaviest. Edited April 14, 20232 yr by Gil Bang

It wouldn’t shock me if Bucees takes them to court because they have some of the same features in their stores, albeit they don’t have their own brand of snack items like Choke Canyon had that Bucees sued them for or huge souvenir shop.

April 29, 20232 yr Have only stopped for gas and the rr at Buccees. But their brisket sucks, right? There's a bucees opening just south of Fort Collins soon. I don't expect it'll satisfy any craving for Texas bbq.

April 30, 20232 yr My 4 year old granddaughter loves Dippin Dots at Buc-ee’s. I remember them being introduced almost 40 years ago as the Ice Cream of the Future. Nope. Still a weird anomaly product. They should market as a 90’s nostalgia product.
April 30, 20232 yr I appreciated learning the owner is a bigwig political aggy donor but causing the discussion to veer from obese floridians engorging themselves on junk food, and the +/- of going to bucees may indeed have been a mistake.Other that the Aggy Factor….my main beef with Buccees is that they plant billboards at or near every mom and pop stop within a hundred miles of one of their stores. I’ll continue to flip between Praseks and Hruskas when taking the IH-10/71 route, and Chapel Hill Bakery when going 290. Woody’s when DFW-bound
May 2, 20232 yr The Texan in Schulenberg has become my fueling stop going back to Houston from South Texas. It has the benefit of being across the Highway from a Whataburger so I can order online while filling up. Massive time-saver.

May 12, 20232 yr So I went to the Buc-ees at the speedway at 35 and 114. Needed gas and the traffic to go the the QT across the Highway sucked so filled up and went inside to piss and get a drink. Wife decides to grab a gift for the daughter in law and granddaughters. I’m grabbing some snacks. And some kind of chanting starts. A few minutes later again. Then again.The barbecue dudes are doing some kind of Aggie style yell practice shit. I expected some bedazzled overalls and that stupid one legged spasm thing. So fucking stupid and annoying. I had not seen that before.

It's like confusing Walmart and Target because they are both big box stores.
May 13, 20232 yr Yeah, they dance around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots every time they cut into a new brisket.I never saw any bbq joints in kc with a bunch of whooping ballerinas. This is Aggie whoop gay boy stuff. Owner is an Aggie hence he’s bringing that numbskullery to his store.
May 14, 20232 yr Ohioans trying to ruin buc-ee's: Quote Two truckers were ready to experience clean restrooms, fresh jerky, and Beaver-branded merchandise for the first time when they were turned away because their vehicle didn’t meet the Buc-ee’s standard. On April 25, Dawn and Richard Thompson were forced out of a Texas Buc-ee's because their semi-truck wasn't allowed in the parking lot. https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/bucees-semi-trucks-18076876.php Edited May 14, 20232 yr by elfenix better write up
