    And its food selection is more comparable to a Trader Joe’s than a vending machine, with a bakery, an entire wall of bagged jerky of varying flavors and a brisket station manned by employees in straw hats who holler every time a new hot slab of beef is ready for chopping.

    This just seems like a grocery store with some gas pumps. Is there really not much going on in Texas that people go to a grocery store as an adventure?

      It is nothing like Trader Joe’s. It’s more similar to the food and other crap you’d find at Stuckeys in the 1970s.

      People stop at Buckees because:

      • gas
      • large clean bathrooms
      • owned by a conservative like chick fil a

      They’ve recently started adding Tesla chargers as well.

      Personally I avoid them because the ones near me are annoyingly crowded.
