10 Things NOT to Do at Buc-ee’s

As the Buc-ee’s brand is growing across the South, the Texas-based gas station has transformed road-tripping across the nation. I used to evaluate road trips based solely on the time we made. Now? We’re checking for Buc-ee’s stops along the route. If our 10-hour trip becomes an 11-hour trip with a Buc-ee’s stop in the middle, so be it. Also, there’s a certain level of method to the madness. For example, the family is excited about a Buc-ee’s stop. It gives them something to look forward to as the miles drag on. Like many, my family has become a Buc-ee’s family.
And as a veteran Buc-ee’s fan, while I’m not one to harsh anybody’s good time, I thought it might be prudent to get some pro-tips to make your, and everyone else’s next trip to the superstore just a bit better. After all, within the bounds of any society, there is a proper way to comport yourself. Buc-ee’s is no different.

    They need to have separate gas pumps for people with RVs. The one in Robertsdale AL, has lots of people with RVs taking up both gas pumps, or parking them at the gas pump and going inside. It's a nightmare for those with regular vehicles

    Colorado can have all the Buckees in Texas for all I care. Don’t care for them with their Texas souvenirs, pig food and out of state travelers ie vagabond homeless looking for a crib in Texas. Only redeeming factors are clean restrooms and no truckers. No sit down places to eat as they want one to spend their money and get on down the road. If I wanted to eat in my car, I could hit any fast food spot.

    Don’t forget the Philly Steak Burrito, they’ve on the bar near the beef jerky, way better that the BBQ sammich. Fun fact the owner and creator of Buccee’s is a Texas A&M alumni. I live in Texas and very close to a Buccee’s, it’s a fun experience, and I still go grab my brother one of those huge burritos 🌯 from time to time if I’m out and about, but I try to avoid my local one so I have something to look forward to on our long road trip to Corpus Christi or Houston to visit family.

    Every square foot of that land is occupied with vehicle (cars & trucks) parking, gas pumps and the actual building. Semi-trucks would require A LOT more land and many just don’t have the ability. Buc-ee’s has been crazy successful not hosting them and will continue to do so. Many truck stops like Love’s, Pilot & T/A Travel Centers build right next to the Buc-ee’s because they know truckers will go there anyway.

    While traveling for our honeymoon in April, my wife and I got to stop at a Bucky's and while we were in Tennessee, we stopped at a couple different buckies as a truck driver. Yes, I agree that Bucky's needs to rethink. Their strategy about no truck drivers, second of all the money that. Any gas station makes off of their soda fountain is ridiculous. They have maybe 35 cents in the cup. And in the ice, the rest is all pure profit, so personally in my book, if you walk around and you're down to a 1/2 a cup and you top your cup off before you leave. Yeah, I don't see a problem with that and Bucky's. I'm sorry if you have a problem with that. You're thinking of your pocketbook, and not the pocketbook of the people that are causing you to get the growth that you have so in saying that Bucky's cook, grab ahold of your earlobes. And pull very tightly. And when you hear that, pop, that is your head coming out of Uranus, thank you. Have a wonderful day and don't forget to stop at Buckie's.
