Title: Buc-ee’s in one thread
Post by: Max Rockatansky on May 03, 2025, 08:21:10 PM
Seriously why do we need so many separate Buc-ee's threads when one would suffice?  They definitely don't belong on the General board and shouldn't be dominating Off Topic.

Yeah I agree. I like Buc-ee's (see my signature if not convinced. I also live about 15 minutes from the first Buc-ee's), but the amount of threads about it is a little unhinged.

It looks like all these threads are being started by one particular beaver cult member.

It's more than a gas station, to be fair.

Gas station and big storage room of mostly stuff no one will ever buy.

Granted, isn't a service plaza the same thing?  :pan:  :spin:

Merged all I could find (5 of them) and put in the Travel board. Let me know if I missed any.

Sounds like you've never been in a Buc-ee's.  The answer is quite obviously no.

Service Areas have a place to sit down and eat your food; Buc-ees doesn't.

The road hobby has always had an issue with gas station chain fandoms.  That said, I don't recall the Wawa and Sheetz stuff as being quite pervasive or caustic as the Beaver Cult postings.

A huge footprint, but no dining area? I'd rather stop at a Pilot or Flying J.

In that case, the next time there is a forum meet in Northern Virginia, the lunch stop almost certainly has to be at this place (https://maps.app.goo.gl/x1W8wzrAoHG93bq97).

Not gonna lie, I rather spend my money at a strip club.  Considering I haven't been to a strip club since I was 20 probably speaks to how low of a place Buc-ee's now occupies in my mind.

Ironically, this "in one thread" suggestion thread has also become a redundant thread with the one in Off-topic.

Yeah whatever. Any updates on land acquisitions for the Buc-ees opening 350 miles from my house by 2055?

I've been kicking around the idea of another Richmond meet at some point, and they do have a location in Scott's Addition...
