A man has been banned from all Buc-ee’s locations for life after bringing his “service duck” along for a jaunt around the store.
Circus performer Justin Wood and his online celebrity duck Wrinkle filmed their latest adventure at the world’s largest Buc-ee’s in Sevierville, Tennessee.
A circus performer captured a video of the moments when he was allegedly banned from Buc-ee's for life for bringing his service duck inside.
The duo were allowed to go on their way once Wood presents IDs proving Wrinkle is a service animal, but shortly after another employee approaches.
“Even if it’s considered a service animal, you have to be able to contain it, and it can fly out,” the employee says in the video, gesturing to the stroller.
After buying water bottles and greeting a few customers, Wood and Wrinkle leave the store only to be confronted by police notifying the pair that they’re banned from all Buc-ee’s locations for life.
“If you’re caught on property and everything you’ll be charged with trespassing,” the officer tells him.
Wood was also asked to purchase a toy that Wrinkle was seen biting inside the store, and he gave the store $50 to cover the cost.
“She did nothing but make everybody happy in there,” Wood said in the video. Indeed, even the officer who gave him the news of the ban wanted to learn more about the duck. At one point, he even feeds Wrinkle a treat.
The service animal policy on the Buc-ee’s website states: “The Health Code prohibits live animals, including dogs, where food could potentially be contaminated. There are exceptions, however, for service animals.”
Buc-ee’s did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
...AND Texas!!!!!
Pit bulls are known for their volatile personalities and for their viciousness. If a pit bull can be qualified as a “service animal,” then why not a wolf or a hyena?
Real service animals are too well trained to make a disturbance.
I, myself, would prefer an emotional support honey badger.
Ducks and chickens have no sphincter control like aged politicians
What about my emotional support cockroach? Cornelius the cockroach is very important to me.
It was fine until the duck started quacking "Do you know who I am?!"
Is there a reason the store is not known as “Bucky”s”?
Sheesh is right...but they’ll both be busy as can be.
I've used cheap $40.00 dollar Walmart dehydrators to my current nine tray Excalibur dehydrator to make some delicious jerky that family and friends would gladly pay me to make for them. I won't do it though. One footnote. I put some in the freezer for a year, took it out and tasted it. Just like I had made it yesterday.
If you're a fan of some excellent beef jerky, make your own
I don’t suppose Buc-ee’s will let me bring my service platypus in there. (sigh…)
Good question. I’ve seen videos and read up on the beginning of Buc-ees. I think the owner bought an old Stuckey’s here in Texas. The rest is history.
Yes. The problem with Buc-ees in New Braunfels is that it can take 10 minutes to get through traffic coming or going.
The last time I went through the one in Bastrop I said never again. And I haven’t.
I recall buying Stuckeys peanut brittle at one of their roadside gift shops in Tiffin, Ohio.
Mid 70s
I remember going there. It also isn’t an easy on/easy off location.
Been to the one in Katy? You can see it, but you need a GPS to get there!
I find them fascinating.
No, that whole area is off my radar now that I’m retired and don’t have to go there. I will probably go to the one in New Braunfels though one day. I like their homemade potato chips.
I live near Boerne. There’s been one in the works there for years and years.
It’s not yet even begun construction. First they had to widen I-10. Then the residents of Boerne are vehemently opposed to a Buc-ees as it would only add to traffic and congestion.
We shall see.
