Not OP, but why do you like gas stations?
I don't find filling gas or buying stuff in a convenience store to be enjoyable things - though I suppose I appreciate the free restrooms quite a bit.
I'd rather take a break on an interstate rest stop if driving and just sit at a bench and read a book.
Just because I don't hate them doesn't mean I like them, I don't give a shit
Why are gas stations so important to you that you invest this much emotional energy into them?
Who's stopping you from taking a break on an interstate to read a book?
Walking into a Buc-ees is the most anxiety inducing dystopian burgerpunk amerishart nightmare. It's hell. I fucking hated being there.
That said, them beaver nuggets and brisket sandwiches tho, 10/10 would go again.
Are you me? I've tried like 3 times going in there when driving from FL to LA and the one in AL right off i-10 can be described in no other way than nightmarish. Packed to the gills with people, everything is moving non-stop, fat children run about untended, every aisle is intersticed by an aisle selling worthless junk. One day I'll try their meat without spilling my spaghetti.
I went to the one they built in Daytona shortly after it opened. What a fucking horrible experience that was. I hate that they keep building them here because it makes all these transplant naggerhomosexuals feel safe and secure. FUCK OFF WE'RE FULL
Could have been particularly busy because it was new and everyone local was going for the novelty of it.
Also, there’s plenty of nogs in Daytona as is, and I wouldn’t exactly say Daytona is the most appealing place for people to move to, as opposed to the exploding gulf coast parts of Florida.
It’s pretty ok.
I've been in wawas from philly to Florida and yeah they're clean but there's nothing good to get. All paying $6 for a 5 inch sandwich you could make better at home and everything else is dollar store microwave snacks. I think the only people that like wawa haven't been to sheetz.
>Sheetz
Yeah, not my fault I haven’t been tho they haven’t spread south like Wawa has.

I often drive by a sign advertising Buc-ee's, stating that the nearest one is around 100 miles away. Great, thanks!
That’s for the sake of people road tripping on the interstate. It’s a more desirable place to stop say If you’re driving all the way up and down I75. You can get food, have a clean bathroom and maybe nap in your car without being robbed/murdered.
T. Have been part of Florida-Wisconsin drives multiple times
>Assuming you're blasting down the interstate, you'll see it in 20 or 30 minutes
That interstate would take me through Atlanta so it's more like I'd see it in 2+ hours

The ones everyone talks about are really big gas stations that sell touristy junk. They are located along the interstates in Texas. They are ok places to stop for a break, but your gf or kids are going to spend your money on goofy shit.
The small ones in the south of Houston are great though. They still have nice bathrooms and all the buccees food, but are the size of a normal gas station and are for locals.
>The small ones in the south of Houston are great though
What, the ones in Angleton? Are you retarded those are the absolute worst ones. Best Buc-ee's is west of Houston on the way to San Antonio and it's not even close, which you'd know if you weren't a homosexual.

Best analogy is that it is the closest Americans get to the Japanese 7-11 experience here stateside. Plenty of quick and cheap hot food, cold food, nuts, fudge, wine, bbq, drinks, snacks, etc. All in a fucking spotless package.
You see, most of our gas stations / truck stops here are horrendously cared for - suspect hot food that was there all day, generic shit for snacks, bulletproof glass for the teller because nigs, bathroom covered in shit. Basically like every movie gas station from horror movies. So Buccees is a fucking shock to people because it operates like a functional gas station/convenience store in a functional society. That overloads the American mind with pleasure.
Obviously foreigners with proper stores and a stable society would not be able to relate, they don't know how bad things can get.
Accurate. You can still go to small rural towns and find charming locally-owned gas stations that are clean and sell great little sandwiches and blue plate specials, but if you go anywhere urban you’re dealing with an entirely different kind of customer and worker. The people who come here from certain third-world countries to operate many of these businesses bring their third-world standards with them, and giving the urban setting you can make an educated guess as to what kind of customers they serve. Setting aside the safety standards of these employees and the unruly behavior of their customers, hot foods are not SNAP/EBT eligible in most areas, so the business model wouldn’t work anyway.
Many Bucc-ees are not in heavily urban areas. They can hire more rural type Americans who will take care of things and still have personal pride. Their customers are working class, so they won’t go in there and cross contaminate, shoplift, loiter, or bust up the place.
The Bucc-ees business model is rather brilliant, as it is protected against unruly populations. You have to be very careful opening a business like this. You have to assess the local population, and you have to gamble that the population won’t be changed. But with Bucc-ees, they serve a transient working-class population. Nobody is going to bust in and slam up a bunch of Secion 8’s to “desegregate” a stretch of highway. A town, sure. Happened a lot during the Obama administration.
>you can still go to small rural towns and find charming locally-owned gas stations that are clean and sell great little sandwiches and blue plate specials
Diners sure, but locally owned gas-stations that make their own food and sell stuff on the side only really work until a gas-station chain moves in dries up the customer base.
You have the same problems with diners themselves and local grocery stores, but here in the midwest those are still common in most town more than 3000 people or so - the only local gas-station diner which still operates is in a town too small to justify a larger one but is the only for some area around. And even then it's just burgs and other simple items.

).
A Buckee's, Love's, etc. operate at such a scale that while they may orbit a small town and may steal whatever gas business is in town - the Buckee's is there to capture a much wider net, and doesn't even need an anchor town to thrive - it can just be an exit on the interstate all it's own.
You're looking more at a Casey's or just a generic brand pump station with a minimal store, unless it also doubles for groceries (not that common over dedicated groceries or dollar general).

Another thing to consider is that corporations have strong insurance policies and deep pockets. When a population becomes too large and unruly they lose a sense of community and decency, and don’t think twice about stealing, picking fights and breaking shit, graffiti, etc. It’s a much bigger hardship for one little privately-owned store to absorb such losses than it is for a 7-11 #1600. And as a population becomes poorer and more reliant on things like EBT more customers are simply unable to, not unwilling to, purchase non cold-serve items.
Truckers still get paid pretty good, so they’re going to belly up at a Bucc Ees. Families vacationing budget for little splurges and will go there as well. People traveling for business will also stop at a Bucc Ees. It’s a very clever business model.

I could swear it was a Bucc Ees. There were boomers with RVs there as well. However I just consulted the Almighty Oracle Google and see this trucker shitstorm. Maybe it’s a new policy. Or maybe you’re right and I’m confusing another gas station. I’ve been to several Buc Ees and truck stops so I reckon it all becomes a blur.

The public goes to Buc-ee’s on road trips and such. Truckers usually go to Love’s/Pilot. In southeast Texas you might see these two close by. Buc-ee’s and Love’s get 90% of the gas station traffic in the area, with Buc-ee’s getting 70% and Love’s getting 20%. Buc-ee’s dominates whatever market they’re in with their consoomer cult.

I'm the dude you're replying to, and honestly the most vibrant local community I've been into was in a bordering 'burb of saint louis.
Was there more crime, more jobless, and the presence of homeless? Yup, sometimes annoying. But that was genuinely outclassed by the amount of good OC shops and foodplaces. Though it was an area that wasn't poorly off, city-wise.
I'm in a small rural town that isn't doing bad (relatively speaking), but it's almost like you need the dearth of alternative competition in a certain locality to justify those kind of eatery-and-X places, over dedicated eateries. Like that place I mentioned earlier would struggle to compete with a Casey's... but Casey's wouldn't even bother to compete.

I don't recall if I've seen trailer trucks at the few times I've been to a proper Buccees, but largish trucks and trailer homes sure.
Love's is more a proper truck stop area. Buccees feels between a QuickTrip and Love's.

See I'm from the GTA and we have the world's greatest population (both absolutely and proportionally) of full time employed homeless people, so absurdly affordable small scale housing sounds like a good thing, given that we have the moet outrageously unattainable rent in the western world and housing developers incentivized to construct mcmansions nobody but investors and vacationers can afford. Actually affordable small sized housing would actually be helpful here, but you guys have way more nigs than us so idk.

Seasoning police are definitely a factor but at a certain poverty level, every race just becomes the same kind of person. I've lived in the south enough to know that anyone that qualifies for section 8 is someone you don't to be anywhere near.

See the problem here is that you can work a 44 hour week at 3-4 dollars above minimum wage and still be homeless, and even if you could afford something you're competing against like 200 other applicants, so some actually affordable (see: high density low square footage accessible and reasonably planned) housing would be welcomed. So it would be less hobo poverty housing and more "somewhere to live until my boomer grandma dies and gives up her full sized family home she lives in alone" housing.

So's everyone, but unfortunately not everyone can afford that and this ain't the type of society like, say, 100 years ago where the worst things in a poor neighbourhood were gangsters (who, incidentally, were like fucking Robin Hood and his merry men compared to gangsters today) and itinerant drunks. I'm legitimately not exaggerating when I say that hard drugs like meth and especially crack cocaine absolutely changed everything and are responsible for like 90% of the shit people attribute to the poor, nigs, immigrants, whatever.
Fixing the housing market is a nice goal. Fixing post-crack society is such a fucking mountainous issue I don't even know where to begin.

They steal jobs in places like chicken plants then bring their children in to help clean at late hours. They drive wages down, work hours and conditions down, housing up, food up, overcrowd schools with their shitty little kids who need Spanish language learning materials and Spanish speaking teachers while they gobble down free meals, and good luck going to the emergency care because they’re all there with a runny nose or a hangnail… Send them home.

Real wage was at its highest in the 70s when few browns lived here.
Section 8 is our beautiful government providing “affordable housing” to “the poor.” All Section 8 does is skyrocket rent and reduce neighborhoods to slums. The larger a “household” the larger the Section 8 check (and the more paid in SNAP/EBT.) A single black mother with three illegitimate kids she neglects is better paid than many full-time low-income workers in America. These women get a free apartment free healthcare for herself and her children, free food for herself and her children, and some free spending cash, along with other benefits. Meanwhile, 50% of our workforce cannot afford a one-bedroom apartment and have to share or live with a parent. Section 8 drives up rent for two reasons: >the people who run Section 8 slums know they will get guaranteed rent money from the government so they make sure to charge rent to collect every penny they can >landlords trying to keep Section 8 trash from moving in and tearing up the place raise rent to price them out
If a Section 8 slum is erected near your home, or you hear of plans of one being built, MOVE. They are filled with single mothers who neglect their children. When young they roam through neighborhoods dropping trash and making noise and trouble. In ten years they will be spraypainting gang signs on traffic signs and on sides of buildings, stealing unattended items from yards, and breaking into cars. Rich people don’t have this trouble but many affordable middle class neighborhoods have been rendered slums as white people flee and the only people who will buy those homes are black families cramming multiple generations of baby mamas in them.

Bucees is true miracle for traveling. Cleanest bathrooms, fresh food made hourly, and so many snacks you'll be thinking for quite a while of what to get.
this, no one who has been to bucees hates it. yeah it’s oversized but as far as food goes it’s better than 99% of the other roadside options, and honestly still better than a lot of options in town as well. when you see one on a road trip, you make a stop.
For me, it's a large arnold palmer, a pulled pork sandwich, a bag of the warm cinnamon cashews and maybe a corn dog if I'm feelin like a fat boi that day
the thing with bucees is on fri-sun do NOT go to them after 12pm. don't know about mon-thurs, never been on those days, but i'm guessing you can probably push it a couple hours
Stopped at 2 during my cross-country drive down to Tejas.
They're like combining a gas station with a walmart. At least the store was clean, but the place was packed full of low socioeconomic black and brown people.
Brisket and kolaches were good but I don't get the hype
Wawa has literally nothing that puts it over buc-ees or any other gas station except it's a retard magnet so actual human beings can go to good stores and keeps wawa cretins away.
Prepared to order sandwiches, better beverage offerings, higher standard of cleanliness, size and overall variety.
It’s no Bucee’s but it’s a huge step above other gas stations, with far more consistency between locations.
BP, Marathon, 7 Eleven, Shell, Sunoco, Chevron, Exxon do not compare.
Only the more recent revamp of RaceTrac can start to compare to Wawa.
Anon lots of gas stations have a drink cooler and most fast food places with better food have the coke freestyle machines. I could microwave a sandwich at home too. Frankly the coffee is the only thing it has over a regular station and even then it's not better than say 7-11.
No shit everywhere has coolers, and no shit better food at RESTAURANTS exists.
That’s like saying fast food burger chain chain A isn’t better than B because sit down dining X has better burgers.
We’re comparing gas stations, not gas stations to fast food places.
Wawa basically has a jersey mikes/jimmy johns integrated into it with the order kiosks (with other more extensive food options too) which definitely should put it over the other gas stations, plus as you say, the coffee is another big plus.
And you didn’t refute the higher cleanliness/appearance standard.

Went for the first time recently. The jalapeno cheddar sausage biscuits at breakfast were godly. Everything was, really. Coffee was suprisingly good too. Idk when my next oppurtunity to go back will be but I can't wait.
how do i steal pulled pork sandwiches from here? what other food items are easy to steal from here? any places like this where i can just eat the food inside without paying?
hmmm i like this talk that buccees arent near any riff raff and small town garbage, so they must have low LP.
this goes under the assumption that poor people dont travel
The only valid reason to hate it is it’s expensive. The place is clean, the service is quick you can get in and out despite it being crowded, the workers there aren’t quite chikfila pleasant but leagues more sunny than you’re usual gas station white trash and Black folks, the coffee is passable, and there’s always eye candy in there. You don’t like it just because it’s a meme and popular and that makes you a fag.
Listen, I'm from texas, I've grown gone to buccees forever. I can understand hating it for being overhyped, I can understand disagreeing with this and loving it.
What I can not understand is how fucking disgusting ALL of their barbeque sandwhiches are. I'm not talking like, "baww they're not 10/10," I'm talking about how I've legit thrown away every one I've had eating less than 25% of it. How are they so fucking gross man?
HEB's barbque is genuinely like 4-5x better and its from a fucking grocery store.
>I've legit thrown away every one I've had eating less than 25% of it. How are they so fucking gross man?
so let me get this straight... you didn't like the sandwich, but kept buying them AND threw them away. BULLSHIT.
even the worst BBQ sandwich I have ever had was still very good.
Wealth is resources divided by population.
It's very obvious that less people means everyone has more.

Packed to the gills with people, everything is moving non-stop, fat children run about untended, every aisle is intersticed by an aisle selling worthless junk. One day I'll try their meat without spilling my spaghetti.
I went to the one they built in Daytona shortly after it opened. What a fucking horrible experience that was. I hate that they keep building them here because it makes all these transplant naggerhomosexuals feel safe and secure. FUCK OFF WE'RE FULL
Could have been particularly busy because it was new and everyone local was going for the novelty of it.
Also, there’s plenty of nogs in Daytona as is, and I wouldn’t exactly say Daytona is the most appealing place for people to move to, as opposed to the exploding gulf coast parts of Florida.
It’s pretty ok.
>Sheetz
Yeah, not my fault I haven’t been tho they haven’t spread south like Wawa has.
That’s for the sake of people road tripping on the interstate. It’s a more desirable place to stop say If you’re driving all the way up and down I75. You can get food, have a clean bathroom and maybe nap in your car without being robbed/murdered.
T. Have been part of Florida-Wisconsin drives multiple times
>atlanta goes by nice and speedy because trip was timed to hit there after 1AM
The key is to go there early Sunday morning when they are only 100 rubes instead of the usual 450 rubes.
I like their burritos and looking at the rube trinkets.
Nothing works here!
Can any American explain Bucees to a Eurofag? I don't quite understand it, it's like a peak Americana store that's attached to a gas station?
It is a Walmart size convenience store
Ooh, even simpler. Walmart-sized 7-Eleven
The ones everyone talks about are really big gas stations that sell touristy junk. They are located along the interstates in Texas. They are ok places to stop for a break, but your gf or kids are going to spend your money on goofy shit.
The small ones in the south of Houston are great though. They still have nice bathrooms and all the buccees food, but are the size of a normal gas station and are for locals.
The small ones often lack delis (at least the one near Kemah anyway) which blows, but they're at least not as busy as the gargantuan ones
Alvin location is the most depressing Bucees I’ve ever seen. Still have cheap cigarettes, beer, and gas so it’s all good.
This x 100000000
Lol Angleton
Texas City, the one you listed, and I forget which one on the way to Austin are the best 3
Here it is for reference
Probably to keep up the clean image. You're a trucker, you know what most people think they're like by looking at truck stops
>we got bucee's at home
>The small ones in the south of Houston are great though
What, the ones in Angleton? Are you retarded those are the absolute worst ones. Best Buc-ee's is west of Houston on the way to San Antonio and it's not even close, which you'd know if you weren't a homosexual.
Most suck as you said, but the Texas City one is very nice.
The Katy buc-res is great, but based New Braunfels blows it out of the water.
Woah, woah, woah. There's no need to call names like that. Take it easy, dude.
There’s big ones in plenty of other states too
Been to some in Georgia and Florida
I have never seen a ‘small’ Bucees
The Buc-ee's get smaller as you get closer to the original one in Lake Jackson, TX, which is probably the smallest.
Best analogy is that it is the closest Americans get to the Japanese 7-11 experience here stateside. Plenty of quick and cheap hot food, cold food, nuts, fudge, wine, bbq, drinks, snacks, etc. All in a fucking spotless package.
You see, most of our gas stations / truck stops here are horrendously cared for - suspect hot food that was there all day, generic shit for snacks, bulletproof glass for the teller because nigs, bathroom covered in shit. Basically like every movie gas station from horror movies. So Buccees is a fucking shock to people because it operates like a functional gas station/convenience store in a functional society. That overloads the American mind with pleasure.
Obviously foreigners with proper stores and a stable society would not be able to relate, they don't know how bad things can get.
Accurate. You can still go to small rural towns and find charming locally-owned gas stations that are clean and sell great little sandwiches and blue plate specials, but if you go anywhere urban you’re dealing with an entirely different kind of customer and worker. The people who come here from certain third-world countries to operate many of these businesses bring their third-world standards with them, and giving the urban setting you can make an educated guess as to what kind of customers they serve. Setting aside the safety standards of these employees and the unruly behavior of their customers, hot foods are not SNAP/EBT eligible in most areas, so the business model wouldn’t work anyway.
Many Bucc-ees are not in heavily urban areas. They can hire more rural type Americans who will take care of things and still have personal pride. Their customers are working class, so they won’t go in there and cross contaminate, shoplift, loiter, or bust up the place.
The Bucc-ees business model is rather brilliant, as it is protected against unruly populations. You have to be very careful opening a business like this. You have to assess the local population, and you have to gamble that the population won’t be changed. But with Bucc-ees, they serve a transient working-class population. Nobody is going to bust in and slam up a bunch of Secion 8’s to “desegregate” a stretch of highway. A town, sure. Happened a lot during the Obama administration.
>you can still go to small rural towns and find charming locally-owned gas stations that are clean and sell great little sandwiches and blue plate specials
Diners sure, but locally owned gas-stations that make their own food and sell stuff on the side only really work until a gas-station chain moves in dries up the customer base.
You have the same problems with diners themselves and local grocery stores, but here in the midwest those are still common in most town more than 3000 people or so - the only local gas-station diner which still operates is in a town too small to justify a larger one but is the only for some area around. And even then it's just burgs and other simple items.
> locally owned gas-stations that make their own food and sell stuff on the side only really work until a gas-station chain moves in dries up the customer base
Exactly what Cuck-ee’s has done
You know I supposed that while typing, but I don't really think that's the case due to the intended demographic scale of Buckee's (despite the laying-on of
).
A Buckee's, Love's, etc. operate at such a scale that while they may orbit a small town and may steal whatever gas business is in town - the Buckee's is there to capture a much wider net, and doesn't even need an anchor town to thrive - it can just be an exit on the interstate all it's own.
You're looking more at a Casey's or just a generic brand pump station with a minimal store, unless it also doubles for groceries (not that common over dedicated groceries or dollar general).
Another thing to consider is that corporations have strong insurance policies and deep pockets. When a population becomes too large and unruly they lose a sense of community and decency, and don’t think twice about stealing, picking fights and breaking shit, graffiti, etc. It’s a much bigger hardship for one little privately-owned store to absorb such losses than it is for a 7-11 #1600. And as a population becomes poorer and more reliant on things like EBT more customers are simply unable to, not unwilling to, purchase non cold-serve items.
Truckers still get paid pretty good, so they’re going to belly up at a Bucc Ees. Families vacationing budget for little splurges and will go there as well. People traveling for business will also stop at a Bucc Ees. It’s a very clever business model.
Truckers aren't allowed at buccees. You have no fucking clue what you are talking about.
What are you talking about? Tons of truckers were at the Bucc Ees locations I visited. Did they make a new rule or something?
Buc-ee's doesn't have the facilities to serve truckers. Are you sure it wasn't somewhere else?
I could swear it was a Bucc Ees. There were boomers with RVs there as well. However I just consulted the Almighty Oracle Google and see this trucker shitstorm. Maybe it’s a new policy. Or maybe you’re right and I’m confusing another gas station. I’ve been to several Buc Ees and truck stops so I reckon it all becomes a blur.
The public goes to Buc-ee’s on road trips and such. Truckers usually go to Love’s/Pilot. In southeast Texas you might see these two close by. Buc-ee’s and Love’s get 90% of the gas station traffic in the area, with Buc-ee’s getting 70% and Love’s getting 20%. Buc-ee’s dominates whatever market they’re in with their consoomer cult.
I'm the dude you're replying to, and honestly the most vibrant local community I've been into was in a bordering 'burb of saint louis.
Was there more crime, more jobless, and the presence of homeless? Yup, sometimes annoying. But that was genuinely outclassed by the amount of good OC shops and foodplaces. Though it was an area that wasn't poorly off, city-wise.
I'm in a small rural town that isn't doing bad (relatively speaking), but it's almost like you need the dearth of alternative competition in a certain locality to justify those kind of eatery-and-X places, over dedicated eateries. Like that place I mentioned earlier would struggle to compete with a Casey's... but Casey's wouldn't even bother to compete.
I don't recall if I've seen trailer trucks at the few times I've been to a proper Buccees, but largish trucks and trailer homes sure.
Love's is more a proper truck stop area. Buccees feels between a QuickTrip and Love's.
>Nobody is going to bust in and slam up a bunch of Secion 8’s to “desegregate” a stretch of highway. A town, sure. Happened a lot during the Obama administration.
still happening too unfortunately
one of the best/desirable school districts in houston is getting more section 8'd recently
its like they want every person that isn't garbage to just leave the city completely
fort bend?
Can you explain section 8 to a Canuck bastard
>create low income housing for people so poor they absolutely could not pay rent at even a lower end regular apartment
>immediately become filled by the dregs of society
>crime ridden shithole
>bring down the property values of everything around you
>but you're "helping" people incapable of being helped
Assuming you're blasting down the interstate, you'll see it in 20 or 30 minutes
>Assuming you're blasting down the interstate, you'll see it in 20 or 30 minutes
That interstate would take me through Atlanta so it's more like I'd see it in 2+ hours
See I'm from the GTA and we have the world's greatest population (both absolutely and proportionally) of full time employed homeless people, so absurdly affordable small scale housing sounds like a good thing, given that we have the moet outrageously unattainable rent in the western world and housing developers incentivized to construct mcmansions nobody but investors and vacationers can afford. Actually affordable small sized housing would actually be helpful here, but you guys have way more nigs than us so idk.
Seasoning police are definitely a factor but at a certain poverty level, every race just becomes the same kind of person. I've lived in the south enough to know that anyone that qualifies for section 8 is someone you don't to be anywhere near.
I imagine the billboard doesn't account for city travel time. ATL is between the billboard and the store?
>ATL is between the billboard and the store?
Yes that godforsaken shithole is between me and Buc-ee's *spits*
sorry to hear that brev. There's no roads around it?
See the problem here is that you can work a 44 hour week at 3-4 dollars above minimum wage and still be homeless, and even if you could afford something you're competing against like 200 other applicants, so some actually affordable (see: high density low square footage accessible and reasonably planned) housing would be welcomed. So it would be less hobo poverty housing and more "somewhere to live until my boomer grandma dies and gives up her full sized family home she lives in alone" housing.
I agree but I've lived in enough shitty neighborhoods and apartments that at this point I'm willing to spend extra money to not have to be near people like that. Maybe it's just me.
>that at this point I'm willing to spend extra money to not have to be near people like that.
So's everyone, but unfortunately not everyone can afford that and this ain't the type of society like, say, 100 years ago where the worst things in a poor neighbourhood were gangsters (who, incidentally, were like fucking Robin Hood and his merry men compared to gangsters today) and itinerant drunks. I'm legitimately not exaggerating when I say that hard drugs like meth and especially crack cocaine absolutely changed everything and are responsible for like 90% of the shit people attribute to the poor, nigs, immigrants, whatever.
Fixing the housing market is a nice goal. Fixing post-crack society is such a fucking mountainous issue I don't even know where to begin.
You're from Grand Theft Auto?
To add to what
said, even in a rural area if a house on your street goes to section 8 you need to gtfo if at all possible.
Colored folks are the working class, whites aren't. The earth is already ours.
Funny how browns are a net negative to economy.
>remove all browns from country
>price of everything shoots up 50%
good job!
>deport all who do not belong here
>housing frees up and prices drop
>food prices stop spiking without 50,000,000+ foreigners gobbling it all down

Sounds like a win to me
>>tax dollars not spent on their welfare are spent on infrastructure
oh god, another "da poorz are bankrupting our gubmint! oh those defense contractors and fortune 500 companies getting billions in tax breaks? don't pay attention them!" talking point...
Go be poor in Guatemala, not here. We don’t need you. We never needed you.
why are you a golem retard animal
frees up and prices drop
how does deporting working class illegals that already can't afford to own a house stop people with money moving to attractive locations and buying houses? how does that stop asset management companies from buying up said houses?
increase
yeah and so does everything else you stupid fucking brainless homosexual. do you not know how an economy works? someone has to pay for those increased wages and it certainly won't be the company. you think the past couple years of price increases were bad? ho boy you have no idea kiddo
poisoning epidemic killing Americans disappears
fentanyl is coming from mexico via chinese manufacturers. do you honestly think the drug trade is just going to evaporate because illegals are gone? all those working class whites in the midwest are just going to magically stop doing heroin? lmao
this has to be a bot. it's just parroting random shit it saw on /misc/ without thinking of how it all comes together
Fewer people, less demand for housing. Our poor working class come first, not Venezuela's. Minimum wage has not increased since 2009 and retards like you cry that giving a raise will cause inflation. Guess what, homosexual? We still have inflation. Corporations still raise prices. Paying people less does not keep goods cheap. Closing the border and getting rid of invading trash who mule it in will absolutely save American lives from fentanyl poisoning. Shouldn’t you be off protesting for terrorists or something?
>Fewer people, less demand for housing
again you stupid fucking retard since you can't read: the illegals can't afford houses in metropolitan areas to begin with. they're not even in the equation of the current housing market
not reading the rest of your post because you're a homosexualy bot just repeating shit from /misc/ and has never had an original thought in your life
You’re such a retarded fuckhead. They’re packing into all of the cheap housing, driving those prices up. Which then drives other apartment prices up. They’re cramming three families to a home. They steal jobs in places like chicken plants then bring their children in to help clean at late hours. They drive wages down, work hours and conditions down, housing up, food up, overcrowd schools with their shitty little kids who need Spanish language learning materials and Spanish speaking teachers while they gobble down free meals, and good luck going to the emergency care because they’re all there with a runny nose or a hangnail… Send them home. All of them. Useless creatures who are ruining our economy. Kick them out and just you watch our school systems drastically improve overnight, wages increase, and housing level out. Retarded fuckhead.
Real wage was at its highest in the 70s when few browns lived here.
Section 8 is our beautiful government providing “affordable housing” to “the poor.” All Section 8 does is skyrocket rent and reduce neighborhoods to slums. The larger a “household” the larger the Section 8 check (and the more paid in SNAP/EBT.) A single black mother with three illegitimate kids she neglects is better paid than many full-time low-income workers in America. These women get a free apartment free healthcare for herself and her children, free food for herself and her children, and some free spending cash, along with other benefits. Meanwhile, 50% of our workforce cannot afford a one-bedroom apartment and have to share or live with a parent. Section 8 drives up rent for two reasons:
>the people who run Section 8 slums know they will get guaranteed rent money from the government so they make sure to charge rent to collect every penny they can
>landlords trying to keep Section 8 trash from moving in and tearing up the place raise rent to price them out
If a Section 8 slum is erected near your home, or you hear of plans of one being built, MOVE. They are filled with single mothers who neglect their children. When young they roam through neighborhoods dropping trash and making noise and trouble. In ten years they will be spraypainting gang signs on traffic signs and on sides of buildings, stealing unattended items from yards, and breaking into cars. Rich people don’t have this trouble but many affordable middle class neighborhoods have been rendered slums as white people flee and the only people who will buy those homes are black families cramming multiple generations of baby mamas in them.
Protip move somewhere with very few black people
Got it. Actually sounds kind of sick. Carry on, Amerifriends.
It's cool if not just to see the grandeur of it. It's ridiculous but also amazing.
Bucees is true miracle for traveling. Cleanest bathrooms, fresh food made hourly, and so many snacks you'll be thinking for quite a while of what to get.
>I hate this place.
liar. no one hates Buc-ees
this, no one who has been to bucees hates it. yeah it’s oversized but as far as food goes it’s better than 99% of the other roadside options, and honestly still better than a lot of options in town as well. when you see one on a road trip, you make a stop.
Best Buc-ee's are the ones in Bastrop, Waller and Lake Jackson in that order.
I'm honestly surprised there isn't one in AZ. I only say that because it would be closest to me being in Commiefornia.
For me, it's a large arnold palmer, a pulled pork sandwich, a bag of the warm cinnamon cashews and maybe a corn dog if I'm feelin like a fat boi that day
I need to check one out. There is one not too far from me and the beaver nuggets are fantastic.
the thing with bucees is on fri-sun do NOT go to them after 12pm. don't know about mon-thurs, never been on those days, but i'm guessing you can probably push it a couple hours
>new one being built off of I-75
>it’s planned to be the biggest one yet
finally… I can make pilgrimage to Buc-ee’s and bask in its glory…
Stopped at 2 during my cross-country drive down to Tejas.
They're like combining a gas station with a walmart. At least the store was clean, but the place was packed full of low socioeconomic black and brown people.
Brisket and kolaches were good but I don't get the hype
It’s a gas station. If it had good food why wouldn’t you get the hype?
Too many fat brown/blacks and the place is filled to the brim so you get all the smelly fat people rubbing on you
Wawa forever shits all over Buc-ee's
Wawa has literally nothing that puts it over buc-ees or any other gas station except it's a retard magnet so actual human beings can go to good stores and keeps wawa cretins away.
Prepared to order sandwiches, better beverage offerings, higher standard of cleanliness, size and overall variety.
It’s no Bucee’s but it’s a huge step above other gas stations, with far more consistency between locations.
BP, Marathon, 7 Eleven, Shell, Sunoco, Chevron, Exxon do not compare.
Only the more recent revamp of RaceTrac can start to compare to Wawa.
Anon lots of gas stations have a drink cooler and most fast food places with better food have the coke freestyle machines. I could microwave a sandwich at home too. Frankly the coffee is the only thing it has over a regular station and even then it's not better than say 7-11.
No shit everywhere has coolers, and no shit better food at RESTAURANTS exists.
That’s like saying fast food burger chain chain A isn’t better than B because sit down dining X has better burgers.
We’re comparing gas stations, not gas stations to fast food places.
Wawa basically has a jersey mikes/jimmy johns integrated into it with the order kiosks (with other more extensive food options too) which definitely should put it over the other gas stations, plus as you say, the coffee is another big plus.
And you didn’t refute the higher cleanliness/appearance standard.
Unless you just don’t get what I mean and Wawa’s up in Phillie are shit like the tiny Bucees around Texas
I've been in wawas from philly to Florida and yeah they're clean but there's nothing good to get. All paying $6 for a 5 inch sandwich you could make better at home and everything else is dollar store microwave snacks. I think the only people that like wawa haven't been to sheetz.
the bussy club melt is the most delicious sandwich ever made
soulless
We don't have Bussy's in NY, I've been wanting to see what all the fuss is about and spend $300 on jerky
I want a Bucc-e's shirt, but I've never been there. Is it considered Stolen Valor if I just buy one online?
Not quite, but you have a high likelyhood of being outed as a poser
>sees shirt
>asks you stuff about bucees
>answers feel disingenuous
like that
An analogy would be skater stuff
While vans have become popular enough just wearing them doesn’t make you a poser, someone deliberately scuffing them up a lot to make it look like they really skate would be being a poser. Then someone asks them to do some tricks or just some questions, and the poser is outed by their inability to deliver.
Shitty analogy but yeah,
Wearing bucee’s merch without going is a poser thing
I guess it would be different if you’re in an entirely different country
Gee, I dread being a Buc-ee's poser.
Don't worry, surely somewhere there's a definitive Wikihow guide, written by a 13yo Bucee scene kid, on how to avoid being outed as a Bucee poser.
Many take the Bucees pilgrimage and never return. You have to EARN that shirt, boy!
Fuck i love buccees
Why do they not allow truckers?
t. CDL
>I hate this place.
I have video of you going there
Went for the first time recently. The jalapeno cheddar sausage biscuits at breakfast were godly. Everything was, really. Coffee was suprisingly good too. Idk when my next oppurtunity to go back will be but I can't wait.
THREAD THEME
how do i steal pulled pork sandwiches from here? what other food items are easy to steal from here? any places like this where i can just eat the food inside without paying?
hmmm i like this talk that buccees arent near any riff raff and small town garbage, so they must have low LP.
this goes under the assumption that poor people dont travel
I am European and want to visit the massive Buc-ees, the one with a whole road of gas pumps, seems so surreal
Bucc broken.
monument to consumerism
should be firebombed
The only valid reason to hate it is it’s expensive. The place is clean, the service is quick you can get in and out despite it being crowded, the workers there aren’t quite chikfila pleasant but leagues more sunny than you’re usual gas station white trash and Black folks, the coffee is passable, and there’s always eye candy in there. You don’t like it just because it’s a meme and popular and that makes you a fag.
i would put so much foodstuffs in my jacket and walk out fuck that beaver homosexual and his obnoxiously large gas station.
>thing big convenient popular BAD
I like how the beaver has a double chin and jowls
I often drive by a sign advertising Buc-ee's, stating that the nearest one is around 100 miles away. Great, thanks!
Listen, I'm from texas, I've grown gone to buccees forever. I can understand hating it for being overhyped, I can understand disagreeing with this and loving it.
What I can not understand is how fucking disgusting ALL of their barbeque sandwhiches are. I'm not talking like, "baww they're not 10/10," I'm talking about how I've legit thrown away every one I've had eating less than 25% of it. How are they so fucking gross man?
HEB's barbque is genuinely like 4-5x better and its from a fucking grocery store.
>I've legit thrown away every one I've had eating less than 25% of it. How are they so fucking gross man?
so let me get this straight... you didn't like the sandwich, but kept buying them AND threw them away. BULLSHIT.
even the worst BBQ sandwich I have ever had was still very good.
Wealth is resources divided by population.
It's very obvious that less people means everyone has more.
That's why the UN 2030 goal is to kill 90% of humanity. You can't get richer when you already own everything without killing everyone else.
