    581 miles? You can still see a Buc-Ees in the rearview at that distance.

        No, you just underestimate the size of a buc-ees.

          Buc-ee’s would have to be 220,000ft tall to be able to see it from 580 miles away.
          Not accounting for refraction.

        Have you been to a Buc-Ees?

        Hundreds of pumps. It’s a goddamned ocean of concrete and steel. You can use the main building as a shelter for a mid-sized town and have enough bathrooms. It’s a fucking department store serving as a gas station.

        They’re goddamned massive.

          Hundreds of pumps And no open ones because everyone parks and sits there while they go inside

            Yeah, sadly, it seems no matter how ample the parking, people will still just take a pump.

            I kinda get it, but at this point, we should all know better. Leave one person behind to pump and park, you’re going to be in the building for awhile just trying to get snacks and get checked out. I’ve never seen our local less than packed inside.

      Maybe by car it’s just around the corner, but walking it’s 581 miles.

        “I would walk 581 miles, and I would walk 581 more” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

      I randomly went to one a few weeks ago thinking it was just a truck stop. I was not prepared for that.

          It’s just unnecessarily huge. I’ve never seen so many gas pumps in my life. Or so many toilets. It’s honestly absurd and made me feel existential dread. It’s like everything wrong with America all in one convenient pit stop. I couldn’t even enjoy the wall of jerky. Bathrooms were nice, though.

      Advertising. If they didn’t do that people wouldn’t have posted pictures of it on social media.

      When my family went to see Mount Rushmore, I didn’t know what Wall Drugs was. That changed as soon as we hit the state line. Those guys must have more billboards than Alexander Shunnarah.

    Bucc-ee’s is love, Bucc-ee’s is life. The curse is real. I passed one without stopping and 15 minutes later, a rock shattered my windshield.
