Arch Aplin, the owner of Buc-ee’s, is a huge Republican donor who backs Trump-aligned candidates in Texas, including Abbott, Patrick, and Paxton. Buc-ee’s really lost me when they opened one in Bastrop on 71 and planted a billboard over Hruska’s, trying to drive away their business, but I would never go there regardless.
The only reason I stop at Buc-ees when I’m driving past is because they actually clean the bathrooms. Worst part of many road trips is stopping at normal gas stations where the bathroom hasn’t been touched by a cleaning product in a very long time.
Their entire business model is build around a Clean Bathroom, literally everything else is just there because you wanted to not have to worry about sanitation
Exactly.
It’s always an unknown factor at other places. Some of them you feel like you are taking your life in your own hands.
But Buc-ees is always a guaranteed a clean experience.
Sheetz gang where you at?
Same draw, you know it’ll have a clean bathroom. I don’t think they have any overlapping areas though.
I hate Buc-ees but they do have clean bathrooms and they always have working EV chargers
I used to pit stop at the original buccees for the nice bathrooms back in the day. Small place, nice bathrooms, a little kitsch.
Then they did the new ones. I am from here and they still completely astound me. The jerky is good though so I stop and get a supply about once a year. Then I am shocked when they scream about brisket.
I’ve never been in one, but family brought home some of their “beaver nuggets” and I really couldn’t believe how disgustingly delicious they were. Basically they are big crunchy sugary things that taste a lot like plain Capn’ Crunch, but they go down by the handful way to easily.
A friend told me if you want to be really decadent you can eat them in a bowl with some milk like breakfast cereal.
They also brought me some of the fudge, but I was less impressed with that.
I had the beaver nuggets for the first time this past summer…I found that they got even better a few days later as they got just ever so slightly stale…it gave them this wonderful “al dente” texture!
The Cult of Buc-ees is only rivaled by the cult of personality of Kim Jong Un.
Why are they called that??? XD
Old timers: … Wall drug: Free water! Old timers: 🤯🤯🤯
Wall drug!
One of two things in South Dakota
Americans are so fucking dumb its embarrassing.
Clean as fuck bathrooms, pretty decent bbq, affordable snacks, jerky for days, cheapest ice you will find, they pay their employees a fair wage…
We are dumb, but not because of this.
You’ve clearly never experienced the jerkey counter at Buc-ee’s.
More seriously: if you happen to be in Texas, and you’re driving somewhere, and you go by one, it’s amusing to check out. And the jerkey selection is bonkers, and they make it all, so it’s super fresh and great quality. But yeah, overall, it’s a bit hilariously overblown. The cult following is a bit much.
Jerky… Counter?
Goddamnit, yet another reason to visit a country right at the time I’d probably get arrested on the way in.
Get some peppered and call it a day. None of the others compare.
Kindly go fuck yourself. The idiots are a minority and I’m sure there are plenty of morons from your area as well.
Are they a minority though? Because the last election kinda proved otherwise.
are you capable of doing math?
Buc-ees is the only good thing about Texas.
Don’t forget the ice!
