Because America is so expansive the next Buc-ees in that direction is probably 800 miles away.
The barbecue is good, but that sauce is way too sweet. I need to try the burritos. Those fresh tortillas look 🔥
Bucc-ee’s is love, Bucc-ee’s is life. The curse is real. I passed one without stopping and 15 minutes later, a rock shattered my windshield.
Posting advertising today I see
It’s good advertising. People see the funny billboard and snap a pic for social media.
“You will soon enter the state of Texas. Have you considered not doing that?”
With the u-turn it implies they are doing the right thing and leaving Texas.
I’d never heard of Buc-ees, and now I see that’s because they’re only in Texas. The only time I’ve been there, besides in an airport for a layover, was in 2014 when I drove on the 40 through Amarillo. According to Google maps, there is a (closed) Bucc-ees on the 40, but it looks like it was built very recently as it isn’t there in 2023, the latest images on there.
Um, there’s way more than just Texas.
They’re also in AL, CO, FL, GA, KY, MO, SC, and TN
NC is having one built soon
They’re spreading to states near Texas. Like a cancer that is, admittedly, nicer than most rest stops but is still just some fucking brand that reminds you the average person is a programmed chimp for making any kind of deal out of them.
I looked up some pictures of them and they are admittedly a spectacle, unmistakably American.
My town was supposed to get a bucees, but they were requiring that the town expand the road to accommodate the immense amount of traffic that a bucees pulls in. Fortunately they got told to pound sand and they backed out. I like bucees. I think they’re overrated AF, but I do appreciate a nice rest stop. What I don’t want is one anywhere near where I live. I went to one one time where the traffic was backed out onto the interstate.
People are crazy for bucees. It’s a road trip staple. It wouldn’t surprise me if the idea behind this is to get people to reroute their road trips next time just to stop at bucees.
this is what Americans call “just around the corner”
Just an average commute.
That’s not cocky, you’re just in the middle of fuck-all nowhere. That Bucees’s was the last gas station and you missed it.
Just gonna make a quick pit-stop
Aaaaaand we’re broke… But I got 4 pairs of pajamas, 10 hats, 7 shirts, and 32 bandanas all with cartoon beavers on them. I also got us 14lbs of our favorite jerky, 6lbs of the jerky we always forget we don’t like, and 8 different kinds of barbecue sandwiches and wraps. And some Beaver Nuggets.
If everything goes according to plan, we should have enough diarrhea and constipation to wreck every Pilot bathroom from here to El Paso
No coolers, pie fillings, home decor, or kolaches? You didn’t buy a rocking chair or a grill while you were there? Are you sure it was even Buc-ees?
When you’ve got HEB, the Buc-ee’s coolers are kinda “meh” in comparison. And their home decor section is just an overpriced miniature Walmart without a single beaver on anything.
As for the kolaches: go to Kolache Factory or visit West, Texas and tell me you can ever eat another kolache anywhere else.
Oh, I’m very familiar with the Czech Shop and Slovacek’s. When my brother lived over by Round Rock and we used to play up in Deep Ellum. We’d stop every time on the way and load up. But I’m not driving almost 3 hours for them when I’ve got reasonable knock offs nearby.
It’s the same reason I’ll get Barbecue sandwiches there. I’ve got a bunch of good places actually nearby. However, if I’m on the road I’m guaranteed to get a minimum quality sandwich that’s pretty alright on top of clean bathrooms.
But I 100% agree about the Kodi coolers. We’ve also got the RTIC store over here if you wanna get fancy.
I’ve been trying to get people to put a beaver on Buc-ees home decor for years. But that’s not a conversation for polite company.
I fucking loooove my RTIC half-gallon jug! I suck down and refill that shit more times in a day than a burned-out parent at SeaWorld with a novelty cup
This guy Buc-ee’s ☝️
581 miles? You can still see a Buc-Ees in the rearview at that distance.
I see you’re a flat-earther
No, you just underestimate the size of a buc-ees.
Buc-ee’s would have to be 220,000ft tall to be able to see it from 580 miles away.
Not accounting for refraction.
Have you been to a Buc-Ees?
Hundreds of pumps. It’s a goddamned ocean of concrete and steel. You can use the main building as a shelter for a mid-sized town and have enough bathrooms. It’s a fucking department store serving as a gas station.
They’re goddamned massive.
Hundreds of pumps And no open ones because everyone parks and sits there while they go inside
Yeah, sadly, it seems no matter how ample the parking, people will still just take a pump.
I kinda get it, but at this point, we should all know better. Leave one person behind to pump and park, you’re going to be in the building for awhile just trying to get snacks and get checked out. I’ve never seen our local less than packed inside.
Are they 10 miles tall?
god i love new york
Maybe
Maybe by car it’s just around the corner, but walking it’s 581 miles.
“I would walk 581 miles, and I would walk 581 more” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Buc-ees is serious business though.
I randomly went to one a few weeks ago thinking it was just a truck stop. I was not prepared for that.
I’ve never been. What’s it all about?
It’s a Wal Mart supercenter combined with a mall food court masquerading as a gas station. With about 250 fuel pumps outside. I dont think I’m exaggerating.
And it’s explicitly not a truck stop. No fueling pumps for big rigs.
It’s just unnecessarily huge. I’ve never seen so many gas pumps in my life. Or so many toilets. It’s honestly absurd and made me feel existential dread. It’s like everything wrong with America all in one convenient pit stop. I couldn’t even enjoy the wall of jerky. Bathrooms were nice, though.
Ever been to a walmart in a small town on saturday?
Where the only thing to do in town is go to the walmart…
Its that but with enough gas pumps to fuel the military
Beavery
