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.
If they build I will come!
“What kind of a clown pulls a stunt like this?
He just wanted to get it all on tape.”
You’re ducking the question.
My service badger has questions
I think it’s much worse than “BS”. This ‘service animal’ and ‘emotional support animal’ trend is actually mocking the people who actually require this assistance. There are people who are visually impaired and they really do require a guide dog to help them to not get in trouble. So if I walk into a grocery store with a duck on a leash dumping all over the floor then I’ve diminished the case for allowing a service animal into the establishment.
It’s sad that the left has consumed so much of our language that we no longer have the words to condemn that sort of attitude and behavior.
Wood was trying to manufacture a waddlin story about a shunned duck, but Buc-ee’s didn’t give a dam.
His narrative got chewed right down in the process.
Wawa is in Pennsylvania, Florida, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and DC, coming to Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia.
Ha!..... Well played!
For the record, a brief comment on this Bucees store.
It is located at Tennessee Interstate 40 Exit 407. It is hard to know where you are because Knoxville, Sevierville and Kodak some how are adjacent. The exit from I 40 leads to Sevierville and Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The volume of traffic is immense.
Diagonally across from the Bucees is the location of a Bass Pro Shop. The very large Bass Pro Shop store is a destination by itself. The Buccees and Bass Pro Shop combo make exit 407 a major local and tourist destination. People come literally by the busload to visit.
The Bucees is located on a very large plot that was formerly a small mountain that was cut down and producing an enormous amount of material. That fill material was deposited beside the interstate producing an extremely large flat area extending about at least half a mile. That flat spot is going to be heavily developed. Rumor has it that the Cherokee from across the Smokies in North Carolina are going to be granted space for another Casino.
Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are going to suffer because all the tourist money can be soaked up at Exit 407
Drill Baby Drill!!!!
I have seen quadriplegics who had monkeys that helped them do day to day tasks.
Thanks for the tips on making my own jerky!
