DOTD refused to consider bucees recommendations for how to create the traffic interchange for the location in Ruston. As soon as Landry got in, Ruston mayor and other local politicians met with new dotd and, voila, they are open to bucees ideas. Hopefully this is the final hurdle. I pray we never elect a democrat again. I don’t know if Landry will be great, but stuff like this is stupid. These guys are building these stations all over the country. They probably have a better idea what the traffic issues will be and how to avoid.

It’s definitely a shite show exiting, but I would rather people who have planned 50 of them than some moron appointed by jbe.

No doubt JBE was getting kick backs from the Indian convenience store cartel.

We can't even synchronize existing traffic lights in BR. I'd let Bucees take over the entire department if they wanted.

Sad state of affairs when the only thing you have to look forward to as a state is potentially getting a bucees.

Never had an issue getting in or out of a Bucee's parking lot. I have found getting to a pump a shitshow around Houston because people think it's fine to fill up and leave their car at the pump while they go in the store for an hour.

Yep.

Have been to Buccees in:
Baytown
Katy
Luling
Bastrop
Hempstead
AL

No issues to report even though they're printing money.

Which you would not read in the Advocate or insert local news operation here, but a Landry offical that might have been hired in high school to do work for a business looking to do work with the state is reported with clutched pearls and bated breath.

Show me one clean bathroom in a Louisiana Gas Station.

Buccees would be an improvement on the whole State.

damn, do you make a point to stop at a bucees everytime you're near one?

I have never been. Never had a need to stop when I happen to be near one and I'm not making a special stop just to go.
