Isn’t Buc-ees the company that’s suing small businesses over cartoon logos they’ve had since before Buc-ees existed?
I’ll never step foot in one.
Yeah, and they’ve gotten themselves into a beef with Beavercreek OH over it.
Personally, I’m glad they won’t be coming to my state
Lol, these companies are so lost.
More small businesses is great!
Bucees is actually suing a bunch of small businesses for using any logo with a beaver right now. It’s super fucked up. Fuck them.

Because we all know moose look so much like beavers…
Doesn’t the Hoover Dam use a beaver in some of its older stuff? Legit would love to see how badly they’d get dragged through the mud because the Hoover Dam gift shop has some of those retro style reprints sitting around.
Also fun fact the Colorado does in fact have a beaver population.
Any logo with a cartoon animal
Canada been real quiet since those suit done
They ain’t a small business.
No one called Bucces a small business.
So small businesses in blue states with beavers as part of their logo won’t have to worry about getting sued? Sounds good to me.
I remember when Buc-ees came to my state and everyone went “Hell, yeah, I’ll work at a gas station for $22/hr!” Pretty soon, word got around that you’re not even supposed to sit on your breaks. The people enthusiastically screaming “Fresh brisket on the board!!” Rapidly gave way to a tone that said “I am contractually obligated to say ‘Fresh brisket on the board’ at an at least mildly elevated volume.”
Still, I’m surprised by this story. The pay made a hell of a first impression, and the sitting thing made me think some kind of weird religious kink, but overtly political messaging was not something I expected. I’m just so used to “Fuckin’ burger-flippers want $15 an hour, you b’lieve ‘at?!” that Republicans never crossed my mind.
Buc-ee’s ain’t nothing but a tacky 30 year too late knock-off of Sheetz but with worse ownership.
Is it really a bad thing that a company that decides to be political, will for political reasons cut themselves out from around 50% of the market?
I only wish more Fascists torpedoed themselves like that.
"I just need some shit I could get at 7eleven, but I really want the inconvenience of an old fashioned trip to the mall. I know… Sheetz! Or Bucees! Or Pilot! Or FlyingJ!
Hey, sheetz has good gas prices and seems to pay their employees well.
MTO is way better than fast food at about the same price point, as well
Well I guess I’m boycotting that business too except to use the restroom because let’s face it, they’re cleaner than most any other business.
Wear your politics on your sleeve and I’ll vote with my wallet.
Now, if we could only get a dozen other companies to take the same stance.
For instance, Chick-fil-A outlets, to me, only occupy space and feed junk food to my neighbors. Given the Christian nationalist stance of their upper management and support of anti-LGBT+ activism, they’re really not a good fit for California.
Or any state that respects its own public.
Don’t forget Hobby Lobby.
Fuck Hobby Lobby. We lost Jo-Anne Fabrics but still have Michael’s, and I don’t think they’re on the boycott list.
Yeah, America is going the sh*^#er. And it’s all because of the communists complaining about minimum wages, bathroom breaks and company health insurance.
/s obviously
Isn’t buc-ees doing the cultural barrier?
Whatever, Buc. Fuck you too.
I’ve seriously never understood this hype; as far as cool gas stations with shopping amenities go, I’ve seen great ones in Europe, and I doubt Buccees has anything to add in that realm.
Look, “amenities” for us is bathroom doors that don’t allow someone to watch you poop (for free). We don’t even hope for clean. Perhaps an interesting filth that we can record and show our friends.
At least in my experience, it’s just a novelty, like a mall with a roller coaster inside. I have a Bucc-ees full body swimsuit because my wife looked at them and physically recoiled because of how tacky they are (I went back alone to get one and surprised her when we went swimming). They have branded 1/4 lb “chocolate” disks with the horrible skin-beaver imprinted on them. They sell “beaver nuggets” that are something like Corn Pops and Cheetos had a baby, but drier. They have a jerky counter (somehow more expensive than regular jerky, never tried it), a fudge counter (lots of flavors, pretty sure I tried it, but it left no impression), and grab and go barbecue sandwiches (the brisket’s more fat than meat, but the rest are decent). I have no complaints about the hot (temperature) candied nuts. I actually don’t think I can get those anywhere else nearby. Then there’s a kitschy home goods section and a clothing department that sells things with the skin-beaver printed on them. That’s about it.
It’s a bit like Disney opened a gas station, but worse (They should. Some people would kill for access to Dole Whip). It was absolutely packed at first, but not now, as far as I can tell. I think the rarity is the selling point, and people will stop caring as they expand.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks that beaver looks creepy af
As someone in a blue state, am I missing anything from then not being here?
Have you ever walked into a gas station and thought, “man, I really wish this was the size of a Walmart and filled with cheap trinkets ala FiveBelow but beaver themed, had children running everywhere, and mediocre bbq”?
They do have amazing bathrooms but it seems I never time it right.
What do you mean? My red state has a giant horseshoe and…a couple theme parks I think?
