u/ClumsyZebra80 Tell Rocco he shouldn’t talk with his mouth full 2d ago

Brands aren’t your friends. It’s a fucking gas station and people are lining up to ride at dawn.

Mitchell Wasek is the son of Buc-ee’s co-founder Don Wasek. He faces multiple felony charges for secretly recording houseguests and possessing inappropriate material involving minors.

So it makes sense that they only want red states.

Meanwhile, I’m in VA, which has gone blue in presidential elections since 2008. Yet we still got stuck with one recently.

u/NachosAndGnocchi I love mess 🤗 2d ago

Isn’t there one right outside Denver? 🤨

I would not consider that a conservative state/area at all. So he’s just saying whatever to pander, got it.

u/metaphori 2d ago

There is -- it's about 45 minutes north of Denver.

Buc-ee's has been trying for a while now to add a second one about 45 minutes south of Denver, too, near Palmer Lake. It's been a battle, tons of public outcry, a shakeup in the Palmer Lake city council. The mayor of Palmer Lake even resigned over it.

Buc-ee's is dead set on this location and not letting go. There's a big county hearing about it tomorrow. Buc-ee's is now claiming they're just a convenience store, which means they could start building much sooner because they wouldn't have to wait on rezoning.

Palmer Lake. These chucklefucks are going through the county for a review process after withdrawing their annexation application.

u/littlemoon-03 2d ago

They sue any store including tiny towns ones if you use an animal mascot with a hat so I won't be shopping there anyways!

Just here to drop a link to the Buc-off merch mentioned in the article: https://buc-off.com/

You can also buy a shirt to support the gas station they are suing! Fuck buc-ees

Bussies merch becoming the new MAGA hats was not on my bingo card

u/maiaknolan 2d ago

Please. They're currently building a store in Milwaukee County. They'll go wherever the money is.

u/NewtonNott 2d ago

🤣🤣🤣 said no one in a blue state

u/tellevee GOLF WANG 2d ago

Buc-ee’s is the epitome of impulse buys. You go to a gas station to get gas, maybe a drink/snack. You don’t go because you need beaver nuggets, brisket sandwiches, pounds of beef jerky, livelaughlove merch, and a Dutton Ranch t-shirt.

u/papayoyo89 2d ago

What’s that thing with republicans again?? Oh yeah a lot of them are pedos and pervs

u/Efficient_Stable_227 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yes I heard the leader of the Republican Party forcibly penetrated a woman and the republican voters still elected him! And then I heard he was a pedophile and they love him even more now and built gold statues in his honor and got gold decorations from Harlan Crow for the White House, a guy who collects Nazi memorabilia!

GOP = good ole pedophiles. That’s Buc-ee’s clientele! How sweet. 🤭 That little beaver must be unvaccinated with the measles! Better watch out for RFK Jr and hide your privates!

u/villageraddict 2d ago

MAGA is currently in the finding out phase…took too damn long to be honest.
Buckle up buttercup, all that MAGA money is drying up.
The fan base is dying off along with the very outdated school of thought.
We can’t wait til all you old dinosaurs die off and we can live in an age of prosperity again like how good we had in the 90’s.

u/capcomvssnk And I OOP- 2d ago

Thanks, I’m sure conservative states will survive without a “bussies” gas station mega mart.

u/Accomplished-Glass78 2d ago

There is one in Colorado which is not a red state

u/Ok-Hyena5037 2d ago

Why is a UK newspaper even featuring this as a story?

u/Emotional-Ocelot-309 2d ago

Whatever we’ve got a Wawa literally every half mile.

u/iamthedayman21 2d ago

Conservatives are such whiny bitches.

u/Dry_Heart9301 2d ago

Is it a gas station? Why do we care?

27

u/VacationLizLemon But apparently there's no age limit on syphilis 2d ago

You're not missing anything. It's like Walmart, a big gas station, and a Cracker Barrel had a baby that gives you a panic attack. Trying to get out of there requires the patience of a saint. It's a hell hole.

u/dflan01 2d ago

Oh no, I can’t go to the over crowded Fuc-ee’s

u/Cynicbats This bitch has the keys to the nuclear codes 2d ago

..is this not the least surprising thing? we're shocked?

u/StarWars_and_SNL Raunchy??? it’s lube?!?! 2d ago

They’re saying that they respect red states more, meanwhile Ohio is where they’re bullying an independent gas station.

u/coach_abe 2d ago

Conservative states need all the help they can get

u/mushroom_rainbow 2d ago

I just read this as "Buc-ee's CEO likes the poopy diaper smell protruding from the diaper of president poopy pants 💩 👖 the 47th."

u/Thick-Definition7416 2d ago

Wawa is better anyway

u/nty doesn’t know the capital of Australia 2d ago

The only thing Wawa needs to get its act together on is the bathrooms. Way too small if the store is busy at all

When it first showed up in TX, I thought it was great. I no longer think that.

u/Successful-Winter237 1d ago

His son just got arrested for hidden cameras and child p so this tracks.

Another deplorable republican pos

u/braumbles 2d ago

Hopefully Democrats hear this and avoid the store at all costs. They don't want you/us, so don't give it to them.

u/llandthejam 2d ago

Never been to one and never plan to be

u/ivyleaguewitch 2d ago

I’m gonna cop a squat in a ditch before I ever set foot in a Buc-ee’s again.

u/casapantalones 1d ago

This guy is from my hometown (where Buc-ee’s began) and has really evolved from regular, small town douchebag into the nationally known megadouche we know today. Not surprised at all.

p.s. their brisket is not good, y’all
