It’s good advertising. People see the funny billboard and snap a pic for social media.

"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.
Bucc-ee's is love, Bucc-ee's is life. The curse is real. I passed one without stopping and 15 minutes later, a rock shattered my windshield.
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.
I'd never heard of Buc-ees, and now I see that's because they're only in Texas. The only time I've been there, besides in an airport for a layover, was in 2014 when I drove on the 40 through Amarillo. According to Google maps, there is a (closed) Bucc-ees on the 40, but it looks like it was built very recently as it isn't there in 2023, the latest images on there.
They're spreading to states near Texas. Like a cancer that is, admittedly, nicer than most rest stops but is still just some fucking brand that reminds you the average person is a programmed chimp for making any kind of deal out of them.
I looked up some pictures of them and they are admittedly a spectacle, unmistakably American.
My town was supposed to get a bucees, but they were requiring that the town expand the road to accommodate the immense amount of traffic that a bucees pulls in. Fortunately they got told to pound sand and they backed out. I like bucees. I think they're overrated AF, but I do appreciate a nice rest stop. What I don't want is one anywhere near where I live. I went to one one time where the traffic was backed out onto the interstate.
Um, there's way more than just Texas.
They're also in AL, CO, FL, GA, KY, MO, SC, and TN
NC is having one built soon
Because America is so expansive the next Buc-ees in that direction is probably 800 miles away.
People are crazy for bucees. It's a road trip staple. It wouldn't surprise me if the idea behind this is to get people to reroute their road trips next time just to stop at bucees.
The barbecue is good, but that sauce is way too sweet. I need to try the burritos. Those fresh tortillas look 🔥
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.
Not accounting for refraction.
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.

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.

But ... but why?
Best poop you’ll have on the road!
Advertising. If they didn't do that people wouldn't have posted pictures of it on social media.

There's one in Arizona heading north between Phoenix and Tucson that says 951 miles behind you.
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 ☝️
