Texas was one of many places where the blue tsunami changed the landscape of politics in America this week. Will that affect where Buc-ee's does business?
I’ve been there a few times. It’s…okay? Bathrooms are nice and clean, as advertised.
But I don’t really see what the big deal is. Just seems like the Walmart of gas stations.
But now that this asshat went and opened his big mouth I have no plans on going there again…ironically, there is one right off I-25 near Fort Collins in Colorado…which has been pretty much blue for years. Somehow, the place is busy as hell and seems to be doing alright.
Conservatives always have to make things so goddamned weird. Has anyone asked this guy what “family friendly” means?
People who make a big deal out of it are over the top, but it’s pretty good at being a gas station:
The gas is usually priced well. I’ve seen 10% lower than anything else in the area before.
There’s a variety of hot food, all adequate. With a group of people, it’s likely everyone will find something.
There are a lot of snacks.
There’s a variety of caffeine, all reasonably priced instead of the usual gas station trick of energy drinks are only reasonably priced if you buy three.
There are always gas pumps open. No waiting.
It’s clean, from the pump to the toilet.
If there’s one on my route and the timing makes sense, that’s where I’ll stop.
The south has a lot of special things. We have specially bad public schools, specially bad public transportation systems, specially bad worker protections, etc.
Remember this the next time you see someone fawning over buc-ees.
It’s a great place to stop if you want to waste an hour on a road trip stop.

It’s southerners trying to pretend like they have anything special other than highway-side gas stations.

I’ve been wondering how you square your avatar with your politics for a couple of months now.
(FWIW, I like the food at Buc-ee’s…)
