Buc-ee’s

[Mik]

Don’t. Just don’t. Hell by the roadside. A vicious Venus flytrap awaiting unsuspecting motorists.

If I were tasked with designing hell I could do no better.

What, they are just gas stations with souvenirs, no?

[Horace]

Well they’re always very busy. Mik what was your main issue? I like Bucees. The bbq isn’t great and the bakery isn’t great, but nothing is bad. It’s clean and big with a nice selection.

But...there's a future there.

Holy crap. And apparently that’s verified. https://www.cstoredive.com/news/buc-ees-advertising-how-much-it-pays-its-staff-labor-wages/688700/

I think I could qualify for an assistant general manager straight up, with a good opportunity to get into general manager pretty quickly. It’s mostly going to be logistics and people skills…

@Copper that could almost be an Ikea timeline.

[Mik]

It doesn’t have nearly enough time for ingress and egress and no mention is made of police reports. The wandering aimlessly is spot on, but at IKEA it’s desperately trying to exit. At Buc-ees it’s wondering what the hell to do.

I should live stream a trip to bucees to show all you noobs how it’s done.

Your post prompted me to look Buc-ee up on YouTube.

Some couple made a video about trying to stay 24 hours at a Buc-ee’s but learn that Buc-ee’s does not allow overnight parking.

Should'a gone to WallyWorld.

Those YouTubers did go to a Walmart instead for "overnight parking" then returned to Buc-ee's the next morning.

Thanks for posting that, Ax. The only better way to spend 18:50, is a real trip to Bucee's. Maybe I'll do that right now.

I assume they are not open 24 hours per day? As big as they are, and as big as the parking lots are, how would they know otherwise?

(and sorry no, I did not watch the video. LOL)
