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.

She has the face of a self-righteous, pompous asshole…

[al_c]

I just stop using products … I don’t write an article about it like a crybaby.

[LastDayz]

Egads..... is that a reincarnation of Helen Thomas?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’d call it a “Yogism.”

[pnz1]

Yeah, well all the people stopping at Buc-ee’s don’t agree with her.

[Rebelbase]

Some people just can’t appreciate Beaver Nuggets.

[luvie]

I guess I’ve never seen that term before. It’s hard to keep up-to-date. LOL!

[luvie]

PS...Oh, yeah. I get it now. Yogi said the darndest things. LOL!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Yeah. He did.

[Charles Martel]

Think I saw her in a truckstop parking lot.

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

Garagiola said Yogi said the darndest things.

[Bodega]

YOU ARE CLEARLY not up to DATE...masks are no longer recommended by the Soros group. AMAZiNG, YES??? Too many deaths, I suppose, especially with kids.

[Vaduz]

Looks like one of the finer truck stops.

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!

[Albion Wilde]

Aww, poor baby!
