Buc-ee's gingerbread diorama

I’ve been to a Buccee’s twice in my life. I can say that both locations I went to had zero pee bottles sitting by the pumps. I saw zero bags of crap that had been run over and flattened in the parking lot. And I saw zero stains from pee puddles on the asphalt and it was summer time and there was no stench in the lot. Everyone can say it’s a small percentage but at the end of the day we all know that drivers will trash a place up and if I owned a business of any kind I’d roll the dice that my business could survive without truckers spending money at it. Shoot, if managed my local Walmart I’d be trying to talk corporate into putting some height poles across the entrances to keep trucks from pulling in. Went there Thursday and there was a cart out by the “truck section” that had two big household size bags of trash in it and I counted at least three gallon size jugs of pee when I walked by.

 

I also am not defending Bucee's but i think the statement that "you are not allowed to shop here" is pure exaggeration.
More than likely they were told "Bucee's does not allow trucks to park here on our lot and you must leave". All locations have signs at every entrance that say "NO TRUCKS". Reading is fundamental.
The location closet to me has trucks parked on the shoulder of the side road all the time and the driver's go in and shop.

 

Running over crap bags one of the greatest joys of life, especially when one bag explodes under a steer tire and splatters all underneath your truck and for days you can't figure out what that smell is.

 

Sort of like a land mine.

 

Never been to a buccees. Haven't been in a walmart since sam died. And it's going to stay that way.

 

Ya know I stopped at one of the Buc-cees I found the GM and asked him why trucks couldn't come one the property, his answer "it's company policy" I told him it's a crock of crap. As I was leaving (didn't buy anything ) what did I see behind the store unloading???? It was wait for it..........a truck. SO my thoughts are if the don't want trucks on the property at any time, get the motorhomes, cars (can't use a pickup cause hmm that's a truck) to haul all their inventory for the store . OBTW also they can haul the fuel in as good as they can haul it out. IMHO (no one agrees) what Buc-cees does is a form of discrimination which I suppose is their right but if you have a business that is open to the general public then you'd at least tolerate and provide a place for them to stop shop and leave but that would open a pandora's box.

 

Dude has a business plan and its working quite well for him. He'll never see a dollar of my money, but I don't hate him.

 

The chances of a delivery truck leaving trash in the lot on their way out is pretty slim. People seem confused. It’s not that they don’t want the actual trucks, they don’t want the actual slobs that drive many of them today.
