EVs never mentioned. Pics of the sushi look pretty good...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

When I travel to Asheville I always stop at buc EE’s. It’s clean, has great shopping, good brisket sandwich, etc. But I am out of by NO seating: no chairs, no benches, nada. They can do better.

“...but nowhere to sit down to eat its treats”

That’s so they aren’t required to have bathrooms.

[KarlInOhio]

Are there any law differences between a place that just sells food and a restaurant with seating? The fault might lie in Nashville.

The family and I stopped there vacationing in the Smoky Mountains. I purchased a Buc-Ee’s 2023 Christmas thermal cup.

Speaking of jerky, I would like to hear Freeper opinions about types, qualities, favorites, and sources with a good price.

[dfwgator]

The idea is to stop, buy your stuff, and get the hell out and drive on, not to turn it into a restaurant.

[ConservativeMind]

You have seats—IN YOUR CAR!

It’s like complaining about a drive-in.

[Fester Chugabrew]

I pulled into the Buc-ees just South of Richmond, KY a little over a year ago. It was so big and so crowded I didn’t even bother to stop and go in. I hate crowds and lines with a passion. Some might call me a misanthrope.

I hate eating standing up. The food never tastes good to me when I do.

So I live near the other Tennessee Buc-ees in Crossville. I never go in but they do have cheap gas. Now if you ever wondered why they need 120 pumps? Every time I stop for gas they’ll be 6-8 cars near me and they are all empty. The gas pumps are closer to the front door than the parking so people just park at the pump. Sometimes you have to hunt for an empty pump because all the rest are filled with parked cars.

If we convert to 100% EVs, the equivalent capacity service station would require 1,200 chargers instead of 120 pumps. AND its own power plant out back.

Now THAT would be a sight to see.

Going into a Buc-ee's is literally a life changing event.

Where else can you get a jalapeno-flavored turkey drumstick wrapped in bacon?

Stopped at a Buc-ees in Terell TX a couple of days ago. It was a zoo. Don’t plan on a quick stop. Food is very good though.

[farmguy]

The food is all packaged for eating elsewhere. I once saw what was probably a manager tell five or six illegal alien looking dudes that they couldn’t stand at the condiment bar and eat.

It doesn’t take much thought to figure out why.

BUC-EE’S business model involves selecting your merchandise and then paying for it as you leave the store. If you consume the food before you leave, with the volume of people going in and out the doors, you would be on your honor to pay for it. I doubt those guys would have bothered paying once it was gone.

Buc-ees is awesome. We have one about 40 minutes from us…on the way to Chattanooga from Atlanta and we make that trip quite frequently.

Eat in your car or when you get home. Pretty good BBQ and a great variety of real good beef jerky.

So many things to see/buy there. Pretty entertaining.

They are building one on the south side of Murfreesboro, TN, exit 84 off I-24.
Not looking forward to it, It already is a traffic nightmare at that exit(east side where a few businesses are). To many accidents in a 1/4 mile stretch with several businesses and many cars coming and going during rush hour. Maybe it won't be to bad being the gas station will be on the west side of Joe B Jackson Parkway.

[cableguymn]

buck them. No truckers allowed.

fine. I won’t stop in my car either.

[Fresh Wind]

How many EV charging stations do they have?

[Tacrolimus1mg]

I friggin’ love Buc-ee’s. I want to go back to Texas on a more permanent basis, and admittedly Buc-ee’s is an excellent lure.
