It was the biggest in Texas I think.


I'm assuming it has a full drive thru car wash? about 20 gas pumps? and $.99 20lb bags of ice for Bucees is customary.

[SWMustang]

There is no finer place (other than at home) to drop a deuce than at buc-cees.

[Matthew328]

AGREE 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best place to drop a duece by far...

Went to the one in Madisonville and was amazed...we need one in DFW!!

[SintonFan]

They clean the restrooms every fifteen minutes.
Very good jerky at the food counter.

bigger than the i-10 buc-ee's?

i'm getting tired of buc-ee's. every one of them has the same generic stuff. overpriced too.

at almost any other gas station, you can buy 23 ounce cans of Arizona tea for 99 cents. at the beaver, the only arizona tea is 16oz bottles that cost 1.50. LAME!

Carter my man, take note of the Beaver Aplin business model. Lure you in with reasonable gas prices and a clean restroom and rape you for your drink.

Works pretty good! Made Mr. Aplin a lot of money. Remember this example from your Eco class?

[Matthew328]

I'll stop there everytime just for the bathroom

[Johnnypaycheck]

Buccee's in Wharton is one snazzy gas station/convenience store!

I'd rather go there and pay 1.49 for a drink over a grimy store that overcrowded and has a small selection with 1.29 drinks. JMO.


A few extra cents is worth it to me. I'll make that up in just my gas or ice.

i remember all about Buc-ee's from your class. i think that was the most used example.

i'll pee at buc-ee's, but i'd rather head down the street to Columbia Stop if I want food and drink.

i'd rather purchase from an individual than a corporation.

Geez.... I guess I'm racist.

i went to Columbia Stop yesterday and guess what?

the woman at the front counter was a born and bred white american.

[Gators17]

Buc-ees is by far the best place to drop a deuce. I do agree that their stuff is a little overpriced but so-what..they have funny ads along the interstate everywhere and a very clean store. best convenient store hands down, IMO.

How many employees does Bucees currently have?

lots, because buc-ee's has a lot of stores.

i've also heard buc-ee's is not a great place to work at though.

so you won't shop somewhere if the people aren't American, white, what? Not getting your point, if you have one?

i've also heard buc-ee's is not a great place to work at though. My brother and his wife both worked at bucees for over 2 years. They had no problems and were making good money by the time they left. He went to the army and she moved to Kileen on Ft Hood, so they both had to quit.

I'd get a job there if I wasn't going to college in about 2 months.

That's my point. foreign owned how? the gas provider or owner of the store? They are not always one in the same. A lot of convenience stores are privately owned and provided gas by one of the majors

[DDBooger]

and calling them American is really shortsighted as most are multi-national corporations.

My point is, I'll choose Bill over Muhammed any day.

Like I said, call me racist.

if the "foreign" owners are U.S. citizens, then aren't both American owned?

your money, how you spend it is not my problem or concern, was just interested in your rationale, more ignorant than racist.

I'd support locals before I supported a guy from Saudi Arabia.

What's ignorant about that? If anything, to me, it's racist.

why the heck do white people get to be the only "real americans".

if he's an American, irregardless of race, color or creed, HE'S AMERICAN

nevermind.

Exceptions would include us military bases overseas of course, etc.

Uh, I couldn't care less what our govt wants from immigrants... I'm just saying I'd support a local before I supported an immigrant.

Actually you changed the point, I didn't say what the govt wanted, it's what is best for society, self sustaining and entrepreneurial minded individuals. And if they are tax paying citizens of a community, well they may have been immigrants, but they are certainly adding to their local community.

Did I say anything about contributing to a community? They're doing great for little towns, etc. Wonderful.

I'd still support a local before an immigrant... tax paying or not.

I'd still support a local before an immigrant... tax paying or not. no, you didn't, meaning it comes down to an irrational xenophobic mentality. LOL something you'd expect from Kurds, Shia, Sunni or Croats, Muslims and Serbs, not in America. Never the less, to each their own! ;)

Boogerman, you should've had to teach him. Used to drive me nuts somedays.

[Trashman]

Our family does a good deal of traveling. We stop at stores that appear to be clean, and well lighted if at night. We do not care what country the owner/operator/clerk might have originated, as long as they can speak english well enough for us to do business.:rolleyes: If not we won't stop there again. :D

[Blackcat1954]

Gas Was At $2.36 at Buc-ees yesterday same as Walmart across the Street

Place was more packed yesterday than when it opened on Wednesday

Im sure the holiday weekend will bring bigger crowds-Can't ask for a better location
