The Thrill of Buc-ee’s, Once a Texas Roadside Oasis, Is Gone [Snowflake to the extreme]

As gas stations go, there are few chains that have managed to capture the attention of travelers — and eaters — like Buc-ee’s. The Texas-born chain is a highway oasis, boasting a slew of clean bathrooms, a dizzying array of snacks and prepared foods, and tons of merch emblazoned with the chipper face of its mascot, a beaver named Bucky. [...]

Founded in 1982, the chain slowly built a local cult following and in 2001, owner Arch “Beaver” Aplin expanded the convenience store into a full-fledged travel center in Luling, Texas. More locations popped up across the state in the following years, and by 2019, the chain expanded outside of the state with a location in Robertsdale, Alabama. Buc-ee’s has continued expanding at an impressive clip since then, opening locations in Georgia, Florida, and soon, Tennessee.

We complain about the rampant leftism of companies like Starbucks, McDonald’s, etc. Simple solution: I don’t go to fast food places with leftist politics. I haven’t used Gillette products for several years, nor do I watch network news or CNN.

Think I saw her in a truckstop parking lot.

Oh, come on now. Even truck stop parking lots have *some* standards.

Okay, so it’s just a pro-abortion snowflake trying to start a boycott of Buc-ee’s. Whew, for a minute I thought they were closing down. I love Buc-ee’s!
