581 miles? You can still see a Buc-Ees in the rearview at that distance.
I see you’re a flat-earther
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.

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.
Are they 10 miles tall?
Maybe
god i love new york
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.
Buc-ees is serious business though.
I randomly went to one a few weeks ago thinking it was just a truck stop. I was not prepared for that.
I’ve never been. What’s it all about?
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.
Ever been to a walmart in a small town on saturday?
Where the only thing to do in town is go to the walmart…
Its that but with enough gas pumps to fuel the military
It’s a Wal Mart supercenter combined with a mall food court masquerading as a gas station. With about 250 fuel pumps outside. I dont think I’m exaggerating.
And it’s explicitly not a truck stop. No fueling pumps for big rigs.
Also this bit from The Simpsons
It’s good advertising. People see the funny billboard and snap a pic for social media.
But … but why?
Advertising. If they didn’t do that people wouldn’t have posted pictures of it on social media.
Best poop you’ll have on the road!
It’s an institution around these parts and they don’t want you to forget it.
There’s one in Arizona heading north between Phoenix and Tucson that says 951 miles behind you.
Wall Drugs Store, South Dakota
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.
I think by the time you’re halfway though the state, you become slightly brainwashed hahaha
“You will soon enter the state of Texas. Have you considered not doing that?”
With the u-turn it implies they are doing the right thing and leaving Texas.
Posting advertising today I see
this is what Americans call “just around the corner”
Just an average commute.
Just gonna make a quick pit-stop
Aaaaaand we’re broke… But I got 4 pairs of pajamas, 10 hats, 7 shirts, and 32 bandanas all with cartoon beavers on them. I also got us 14lbs of our favorite jerky, 6lbs of the jerky we always forget we don’t like, and 8 different kinds of barbecue sandwiches and wraps. And some Beaver Nuggets.
If everything goes according to plan, we should have enough diarrhea and constipation to wreck every Pilot bathroom from here to El Paso
This guy Buc-ee’s ☝️
No coolers, pie fillings, home decor, or kolaches? You didn’t buy a rocking chair or a grill while you were there? Are you sure it was even Buc-ees?
When you’ve got HEB, the Buc-ee’s coolers are kinda “meh” in comparison. And their home decor section is just an overpriced miniature Walmart without a single beaver on anything.
As for the kolaches: go to Kolache Factory or visit West, Texas and tell me you can ever eat another kolache anywhere else.
Oh, I’m very familiar with the Czech Shop and Slovacek’s. When my brother lived over by Round Rock and we used to play up in Deep Ellum. We’d stop every time on the way and load up. But I’m not driving almost 3 hours for them when I’ve got reasonable knock offs nearby.
It’s the same reason I’ll get Barbecue sandwiches there. I’ve got a bunch of good places actually nearby. However, if I’m on the road I’m guaranteed to get a minimum quality sandwich that’s pretty alright on top of clean bathrooms.
But I 100% agree about the Kodi coolers. We’ve also got the RTIC store over here if you wanna get fancy.
I’ve been trying to get people to put a beaver on Buc-ees home decor for years. But that’s not a conversation for polite company.
I fucking loooove my RTIC half-gallon jug! I suck down and refill that shit more times in a day than a burned-out parent at SeaWorld with a novelty cup
This guy has never heard of South of the Border…
Beavery
That’s not cocky, you’re just in the middle of fuck-all nowhere. That Bucees’s was the last gas station and you missed it.
