will enforce unrealistic minimum wages
this is not a problem for their employees at all. Their cashiers make $20 an hour and it goes up quickly from there.
Full benefits start after one year of employment. Seriously good benefits for working at a place like that.

Compared to what? In terms of gas stations, it's clearly #1. Please provide better run gas stations/travel centers.

Liking the food and snacks on a long road trip is "cult" like? I take it you don't have a family?

I don’t go to bud-ees and there’s one a mile or so from my house. Don’t care about the politics, it’s a mad house.

Conservative State's with Liberals boycotting...just became the safest place on Earth

Just like anything else...Salt Life, Ron Jon Surf Shop, Nike, etc etc. Anything with a brand can have a following. In the age of social media, it just takes one thing to make any brand go viral.

And what's wrong with some decent food, cleanest bathrooms, tons of pumps for a gas station? The lines move quick at checkout too.

FFS, Grandpa. Turn off the Fox News every once in a while. It’s turning you into one of “those”.

When I was returning from a flight into Dallas Love, I stopped at that Buc-ee's in Terrell. It was packed. I guess with "middling" people. I filled up with gas (peed), bought some pecans and a soft drink and left satisfied. What is your go to high quality on the road stop? There are no longer Stuckey's out there.

Liking generic arse food is weird, but if you don't know what I'm talking about when I describe them as a cult, you sir, are not near as well travelled as you think.

There is a cult.
