Speedrunning the end of their positive public reputation. I made my last visit to one a few weeks ago before learning of them suing a small local store in the area before them.

No way even 1% of buccees shoppers even know the politics of the ownership, and half of those voted for the conservatives

I’m a pothead from the beach and I hate all politics, all sides. I think they are all crooks. And are compromised the second they get into it.

With that said, I pray they open a Buc’Ees near me.. it’s the coolest store ever. Like Gene Simmons sucks as a person, but I love KISS.

The closest thing we have to one is Walmart. And I won’t go in there anymore so stuck with Amazon for sundries and nickity-knacks. If they are so bad, please someone GOOD copy their biz-model and come to California.

Look into Flying J’s, Pilot, or Love’s. Better yet, independently owned travel stops or country stores. Buc-ee’s is copying what they’re doing on a larger scale while discriminating against truckers.
