re: I think I’d rather have a root canal before going back to Buc-ee’s in Gulf Shores.

This Buc-ee’s obsession is a really really weird TD phenomenon. It just is.

We were there a few weeks ago. Definitely a shite show, but I thought everything moved with great efficiency. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes. No wait at the pump, pee, pick out some snacks, a boogie board that we forgot, and back on the road. Getting in/out was the longest part.

True story, I'm a Buccees regular but was solo traveling thru New Braunfels and in a hurry. I needed to make a pit stop and decided to stop at a Shell a few exits away instead of Buccees.

I go in the bathroom at the Shell and somebody had upperdecked the toilet. Literal log of shite sitting on the toilet and smeared all over the seat. I mentioned it to the store clerk and they were indifferent. This would be unthinkable at Buccees.

I took it as a sign from the shite gods, that I should have just gone to Buccees. I'm not going to make that mistake again. From now when faced with the choice of Buccees vs a one toilet pos gas station, I'm always going to choose Buccees.

Really crazy...we went to Florida for vacation the week of Memorial Day and I had never heard of Buc-ee's. My wife (no pictures) who was driving decided we needed to check out this place she saw somewhere. So we hit up the one south of Macon. Walked in and I felt like it was freaking Disneyland for baws.

Loaded up on beef jerky, a few other snack stuffs, and I grabbed a brisket sandwich. (Where is the damn smoker for this supposedly smoked brisket and pulled pork?) We ended up stopping at the one in Daytona, grabbed breakfast on the way home at the Lake City location (brisket burrito >>> McDonald's sausage burrito), and then a stop back at the 1st location (where my kid begged for a Buc-ee's travel mug which is still sitting unused on the counter.)

So WTF...do we have some Buc-ee's employees on the OT trying to get some free advertising? Seems like there's a new thread every week mentioning "good" and "bad" locations. Hell... are they franchised or does some baw own the whole damn chain?

ETA: Texas + Chicken = Buc-ee's?

The south Bama location was a total shitshow on. Sunday...employees kept up as best they could.

Took all the fun out of it honestly.

Buc-ee’s is the only place where a person can get a full tank of gas, sit on a clean toilet, do all of their Christmas shopping and have a romantic anniversary dinner all in one place. What’s not to like?

No, you wouldn't.
Go get a root canal while this Buc-ee's experience is fresh in your mind and report back.
Buc-ee's > Root Canal

It’s Stuckey’s but they call it Buc-ee’s, instead of world famous pecan rolls, they have world famous beaver nuggets, and of course, different trinkets, and it’s from Texas so obviously it’s bigger.

I mean, the ones randomly out on the interstate away from the tourist areas are really nice rest stops.

I use the one in Terrell frequently.

Happened to stop by on July 4th on the way to the beach. I fully expected it to be a zoo and of course it was. I drove past the first entrance that was jam packed and went to the second entrance...no cars. Wasn't stupid enough to try to get gas...just parked easily on the side of the building. There was a crush of people inside and they still had ample toilet space and a clean bathroom. Despite the insane crowd i picked up a could of things and paid at a side entrance with no wait. Only hassle was pulling out where there was a very short traffic light letting people out.

I'm largely indifferent about the mass of trashy capitalism and excess that is Buc-ee's....but I do like a reliably clean bathroom.


TL;DR...pro tip go to second entrance, park on side, don't get gas, pay at side exit.
