I'd never heard of Buc-ees, and now I see that's because they're only in Texas. The only time I've been there, besides in an airport for a layover, was in 2014 when I drove on the 40 through Amarillo. According to Google maps, there is a (closed) Bucc-ees on the 40, but it looks like it was built very recently as it isn't there in 2023, the latest images on there.

They're spreading to states near Texas. Like a cancer that is, admittedly, nicer than most rest stops but is still just some fucking brand that reminds you the average person is a programmed chimp for making any kind of deal out of them.

I looked up some pictures of them and they are admittedly a spectacle, unmistakably American.

My town was supposed to get a bucees, but they were requiring that the town expand the road to accommodate the immense amount of traffic that a bucees pulls in. Fortunately they got told to pound sand and they backed out. I like bucees. I think they're overrated AF, but I do appreciate a nice rest stop. What I don't want is one anywhere near where I live. I went to one one time where the traffic was backed out onto the interstate.
