    The only reason I stop at Buc-ees when I’m driving past is because they actually clean the bathrooms. Worst part of many road trips is stopping at normal gas stations where the bathroom hasn’t been touched by a cleaning product in a very long time.

      Exactly.

      It’s always an unknown factor at other places. Some of them you feel like you are taking your life in your own hands.

      But Buc-ees is always a guaranteed a clean experience.

      Their entire business model is build around a Clean Bathroom, literally everything else is just there because you wanted to not have to worry about sanitation

        Pretty sure the whole idea of getting an STD from toilet seats is just people cheating and blaming a random toilet as an excuse.

    Arch Aplin, the owner of Buccee’s, is a huge Republican donor who backs Trump-aligned candidates in Texas. Buccee’s lost me when they opened one in Bastrop on 71 and planted a billboard over Hruska’s, trying to drive away their business, but I would never go there regardless.

    This post just shows how many Americans are on here. Buc-ees is shit. What other country would turn a gas station into a tourist attraction. Its sort of like a church for giant gas-guzzling child-smashing cars. Oh and dont forget to take a shit while you are there, tell your friends!

      In France there’s some really nice gas stations on some of the popular highways. In the summer there’s so many tourists going on vacation through these that some of them even set up temporary art exhibitions or special activities like bouldering, bow&arrows, etc. I remember doing my first “dive” in a special water cube on the parking lot of Montélimar’s station when I was a kid, good times. Of course none of that is even remotely similar to putting a beaver themed slop-shop and calling it a day, the shops mostly just sell local products and the usual essentials.

        In my lifetime the French petrol station toilets went from horrible squat toilets where you needed to bring your own paper to pretty well maintained, mostly really clean experiences.

        There are still some stops without petrol stations that have unmanned toilets. Those can be a bit rough, but generally it’s really good.

      I mean Rudy’s is all right. Best “bad” BBQ you’ll ever eat. Started in gas station and is now a chain across Texas and a few other states. Original gas station is still there, only now it’s just a restaurant. They make my favorite BBQ sause.

    Don’t try to park overnight at Bucees, they’ll kick you out and threaten to have you towed if you don’t leave fast enough. 

    And notice how they have a bunch of fresh cooked food but no place to sit and eat? All they want is your money and then for you to gtfo quick.

    I’ve never been in one, but family brought home some of their “beaver nuggets” and I really couldn’t believe how disgustingly delicious they were. Basically they are big crunchy sugary things that taste a lot like plain Capn’ Crunch, but they go down by the handful way to easily.

    A friend told me if you want to be really decadent you can eat them in a bowl with some milk like breakfast cereal.

    source
    • ButWhatDoesItAllMean@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I had the beaver nuggets for the first time this past summer…I found that they got even better a few days later as they got just ever so slightly stale…it gave them this wonderful “al dente” texture!

    • HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      You’ve clearly never experienced the jerkey counter at Buc-ee’s.

      More seriously: if you happen to be in Texas, and you’re driving somewhere, and you go by one, it’s amusing to check out. And the jerkey selection is bonkers, and they make it all, so it’s super fresh and great quality. But yeah, overall, it’s a bit hilariously overblown. The cult following is a bit much.

        The gimmick is we have gas stations in 2026. Whoa what if we built a gas station across the street from a gas station. Whoa what if we build a gas station so big you couldn’t see the gas station across the street! And there was a walmart inside to sell us slop. And the shitters are clean and the doors provide privacy. Yeah im laughing at you all.

    I used to pit stop at the original buccees for the nice bathrooms back in the day. Small place, nice bathrooms, a little kitsch.

    Then they did the new ones. I am from here and they still completely astound me. The jerky is good though so I stop and get a supply about once a year. Then I am shocked when they scream about brisket.
