The glorified gas station has lost its luster thanks to over-saturation of the market and the owner’s ties to the state’s worst politicians

As gas stations go, there are few chains that have managed to capture the attention of travelers — and eaters — like Buc-ee’s. The Texas-born chain is a highway oasis, boasting a slew of clean bathrooms, a dizzying array of snacks and prepared foods, and tons of merch emblazoned with the chipper face of its mascot, a beaver named Bucky.

, but my last several trips to the store have been much more of an annoyance than a salve on my road-weary bones. As I drove the highways in Texas during the holidays, heading back east to visit family, basically every highway I encountered had its own Buc-ee’s location. Now, you can scarcely drive more than a hundred miles down the state’s major highways without seeing those cheeky billboards emblazoned with slogans like “Stopping the pee dance since 1982” and “My overbite is sexy.

Austin Nah. Your opinion is shit

Austin What a whiner. 🤡

Nothing more than a glamorized hit piece based upon your left leaning political opinion. Shame for attempting to cancel Buc-ees. My newsfeed will now be missing VOX.

Snore...drivel. But you hit your article requirement. Next...WaWa and intersectionality - too much of a good thing?

Austin So Eater is now making recommendations based on politics. Unsubscribe

Translation - We don't agree with the owners political views or associations so we would love to have Buc-ee's canceled because we said so as an overly liberal and crappy website.

FudgieATX I went to Buc-ee’s for the first time a few weeks ago & I was blown away. I wish there was over saturation. The closest Buc-ee’s to me is New Braunfels 50 minutes away! Can’t defend the politician thing, though. What can I say: rich people suck!

Austin This is so stupid

Time Squad Vol.1: Hamby Makes That CatchWhat happens if the Buckeyes beat eventual BCS champion Texas back in September of 2005? It goes a lot deeper than you think. Hamby dropping that pass is what gave us Troy Smith. If Hamby catches the pass, we win and Zwick continues to start We never know who troy smith is, and that makes me sad. 1976 Rose Bowl…so many things change if Bucks win: Woody probably retires and doesn’t flame out, Bucks win another title and validate Archie’s career, Lou Holtz might have taken over… Most painful loss in our history, in my opinion.
