    Yeah. I get all that. Most or all of the (hot) food is not vegetarian or vegan so our options are drastically narrowed, but that’s every single gas station, really.

    I appreciate it being clean. It seems other chains could just step their bathroom and game up - like say, Love’s - and it’d be about the same.

    What I really don’t get is when people make it a destination and want merch and so on. The signs for Buc’ees (in Fort Collins) start up in Wyoming, IIRC. You’d think it was a place like Wall Drug or something…

    To me, the whole thing struck me as a bit goofy as we first pulled off the highway a few years ago. Then I walked in and the store seemed like a combo of Hobby Lobby and Walmart as far as Americana schlock being sold…definitely got a whiff of what they were probably going for. Figured it was kind of coded for conservatives.

    I was right.
