The Untold Truth Of Buc-ee's 

Living in Colorado, I guess I’m going to have to wait until 2024, but it will be a nice change from all the boring gas stations. Looking forward to it!

The only problem I have with Buc-ee's is that if you're on a road trip and just want to make a quick stop, hit the bathroom, grab some drinks and fill up it takes way too long. Just dealing with the traffic and crowds eats up time that you don't lose at smaller places. On the other hand, we live near one and sometimes I just stop by to get a sandwich and shop a little if I'm not trying to get anywhere. They always have some interesting snacks and food.

New Braunfels is located Betweeen San Antoino and Austin on I-35 ( Not Houston )

I think a lot more of Buc-ee's than I do of this report, with its mixed-up facts and stock footage of cigarette cartons on a shelf with prices prominently posted in EUROS at 13:23 ! 🤣

I love Buc-ees ❤️ I film the Grand Openings

socialism is awesome!

You spelled buc-ee's wrong.Its buc-ee's not Buckies.I'm highly disappointed in you.

Don't worry I'm not your teacher you will still get an A for the day.

Was the water all the way to your knees that must have been so hard for you to deal with. Sitting in a safe place with free food how did u manage.I'm surprised you don't have PTSD from that traumatic event.

Because a $7.25 employee can get his $1250 pos to work more than you can get your $60,000 Toyota fourrunner back to I45....ya pos

Medicare shouldn't b responsible for insulin when ppl are drinking soda by the truckload.

Request to Buc-ee’s, please add sugar free versions of your sodas.

@Virginia Kingsford, as a connoisseur of food and beverages, with a liking for soft drinks, including another fine beverage of your state in Dr. Pepper, what do the various soft drinks of Buc-ee's taste like, out of curiosity? Please enlighten this person that has, unfortunately, not been able to be in your state since 1995. Thank you.

@@TexasCountryLiving , this would be their response to you, which says, "Sugar free things ironically will kill you worse than sugar. Moreover, bodies need sugar in order to survive, as there is also such a thing as hypoglycemia. There is also a form of diabetes that is called Type I Diabetes that happens to people that have too little sugar in their bodies. When a body is deprived of sugar, it can also possibly cause anemia as well. Finally, there are a lot of so-called "healthy foods" that ironically have a lot of sugar in them as well. Bodies need sugar, not only to function, but also to stay alive".

Over priced food and ungodly over spiced. Sucky joint imo. Tourists joog joint.

Wawa hands down js better. Or a loves with an arbys

@@jimmystrickland1034 I frequent WaWa since they are all over Orlando (mainly for smoothies and soup). While I really like them, I prefer Buc-ees for all the other stuff and it is decent place to take a break. Loves are hit or miss, nothing remotely close to a Buc-ees. Next favorite is the Busy Bee in Live Oak, Florida. Then the newer WaWas, then Flying J (nicer ones). Just personal preference.

@@JasonTaylor-po5xc only thing buccees don't have is a hotel. It's a true mini mall I would say.

@@jimmystrickland1034 a Loves with an Arby's impress you? You need to get out more!!

Stories that I’ve heard from people that have worked there it actually isn’t as great as many think, starting with the fact that employees get only one 5 minute break during a shift or as they call it a “5 minute lunch” in which they can’t even sit or use their phone while on fucking break! On break! And not just that when employees clock out they have to wait until they leave the premises completely to use their phones and they prohibit tattoos and colored hair which surprises me considering that fact that they are a gas station convenience store and based on the type merchandise they sell and demographic they appeal to it surprises me they have these kind of rules and policies for employees which i think is outdated and stupid and from what I’ve heard they overall treat employees like shit, i even heard a story about them firing an employee for smoking in his car ON HIS DAY OFF! HIS DAY OFF!!!! You don’t even need to be on the clock or on shift to get fired for doing non work related things on your DAY OFF!!! If you drive to the premises and they use the $15/$17 or $18 the hour pay as an excuse to treat people in such way, funny how they pull the $15 excuse like they are the only place that pays that salary when there are a thousand other places that pay the same who have the same benefits idk why they think they are special or think they can fool people and worst of all they get away with breaking so many employment laws so i would do research and maybe look for videos made by former employees sharing their experiences and think it through before making a decision that could possibly leave one with Job PTSD. And I forgot to mention no break rooms either. They are a prison

I work for bucees, and although you are paid well, you arent taken care of, they don’t care if you are living in your car, if you’re sick, if you’re family is sick, they invest in bodies not people, we are made to work 6 to 7 days straight without overtime pay, we get a 20 minute break for our 8 hour shift, unsafe work conditions, I’ve had coworkers pass out and you’ll see the management put their hands in their pockets and walk away, they will fire you for being sick for to long, they don’t care about their employees they care about having employees. Bucees is the worst company I’ve ever worked for

@@sebastiangarrido6573 Quite the imagination you have there.

@@crscott9908 It’s true. You get a five minute “moment”. No place to sit. You are paid well for a reason. Moral is if you like Bucees, don’t work for Bucees.

@@crscott9908 It's 100% true. When they call you to set up an interview the very first question out of their mouth is are you ok with not ever taking a lunch break.

Crazy right... I get used to it.. but I get exactly what you are saying

I would love for a Buc-ee's to eventually have one of their stores to also cater to truckers as well, or at least make a sister chain of stores that catered to truckers.

I walked in one time and they were announcing a lost child for the parents to come get. What other gas station is big enough to lose a child?

Buc-ee's always reminded me of like a "Costco's Wholesale". Minus the membership and and bigger auto department.If Exxon Mobile and Costco's had a kid it would be Buc-ee's.

Lol. I disagree. It was a very lame experience

Lol who shit in your cereal

They’re not from around here. I know that the Luling and Katy stores are between San Antonio and Houston.

They were probably thinking of the Shulenburg location....

Came here to say this. I live a few minutes from the NB location and work in Austin.

@@georgeford6439 No. Schulenberg is between san antonio and houston, and does NOT have a buc-ees

I guess the new Buc-ee's in Florence, South Carolina, will take away much of the remaining business from South of the Border for people driving on Route 95 as a travel destination for gas, snacks, and souvenirs. They are only about 30 miles apart.

I have been to several Texas stores and the Alabama store in years past. I visited the Florence store a few weeks ago on a Sunday and my God it was packed door to door wall to wall, I could barely move, bumping shoulders,‘I’m pretty sure it was more than fire dose allowed, insane. The brisket was still on point though, love it ! I live in North Carolina and the idiot townspeople of Efland, NC didn’t want Buc’ees to build there so they scrapped the plans. Broke my heart.

@@reginaldoppenheimer334 It will stay that way for a while. The ones in GA were packed like that for months after opening and were packed again during the summer travel season.

10 get over it

Went to the Florence, SC location last weekend on Labor Day. The rain was terrible and everyone was getting off i-95 to avoid it and stay at buccess. It was the longest I’ve ever waited to get into a gas station, 45 minutes in a line of over 500 cars just to get some incredible buccess brisket sandwiches! The line was all the way to the highway exit. It was the most chaotic thing I’ve ever seen in my life but man was it worth it!

It’s a bit silly though considering everything in the store and in the pumps is brought by a truck and trucker.

Same here, CR Scott There is a difference in delivering there, and taking a 10 hour,Pickles. The places would go downhill in a hurry.

I used to stop at that store after my shift at BASF. Good Times!

i remember stopping at that Buccee's in the early or mid 80s every time we went surf fishing on Surfside beach. I think of those trips as a kid with my Dad, sister, and our friends every time I go to a Bucee's now. Which by the way is about 3 or 4 times a week! Their brand of root beer is THE BEST! I'm so proud to be a Texan.

Prove it

@@NewHaven203 Prove what???

I thought the first one was between Brazoria and Lake Jackson. Just outside of Lake Jackson. I remember in 1985 going to one in that location. Was there another one as well?

Excellent marketing strategy to get city departments to set up contracts with them for refueling city department vehicles! Make the employees hound thier bosses for the switch for awesome food options 👍

Mr.bucees is great friends with the gov of texas so yea he gets a lot of perks. here in bastrop when ever there is a power outage the store always has power when the city needs it bucees come first.

I love HEB too

heb is 10x better, cheaper too

Wawa, any other store but bucees.

That’s the Wharton Buc-ees I stop there a lot on my way to Houston.

😜😉🤘🏻🤣🤣

My aunt moved to Canada 30 years ago but when my grandma passed she rode with me from Houston to Dallas for the funeral I stopped to refuel at the middle point of the drive in Centerville, TX. She was so impressed she took pictures of the gas station to show all her friends when she got back home that everything is bigger in texas including the gas stations! She was like "if I don't take pictures they won't believe me"... lol

@Marty's 4x4 Back in 1972 they would have been $3 or $4 but since the price of beef is sky high, along with sauce, electric, water and lazy people wanting CEO salaries, $8-$9 is cheap. You can hate all you want..... live that life..... I wake up with a smile on my face every day knowing I don't have to get up and face a boss, now get to sleep so you can go to work in the morning so you can be miserable. 😘

Bucee's also has the world's largest car wash. It is about 30 miles west of downtown Houston in Katy, Texas. Over 250 feet long. My kids and I make the drive once a month to go through. Worth the 16 bucks!

The largest on in Sevierville hasn't opened yet

The 2 in Alabama are alot smaller than the normal Bucees here in TX

@@USMC-Goforth how are they smaller if they are larger lol 🤣

@@MrTaylorfenoglio what do you mean? The original poster said the one he went to in Alabama was smaller. There are 2 in Alabama and they are both smaller than the average Bucees we have here in Texas and definitely smaller than the Tennessee one.

Hahaha!!! Okay... that's awesome! 😂😎👍

I am surprised they haven't built a mid-sized Buc-ees off the N. Grand Pkwy somewhere there, the size of 288 and Hwy 35 Angleton would do.

Let's tell them it is actually in Kodak! LOL

This will be another boon for Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg. Being right off of Interstate 40, it is a good business choice.

@Marty's 4x4 Back in the early 2000's, I worked at Lowe's in Sevierville. Every day we would have a few people stop and ask if they were in "Seever"ville.

I'm from Florence originally and I'm looking forward to checking it out when I next visit.

Yep. Stopped there on my way to Myrtle Beach from Charlotte about 4 weeks ago.

Try the Texas Cheesesteak Burrito. You can thank me later.

@@dalesmth1 Thanks for the reconmendation! I will try it out this weekend!

Try the brisket sandwich! If you like bbq it’s going to shock you! Best brisket and pulled pork sandwiches in the game! I bought 4 so I could have some later for dinner lol $7.00 each I think but they’re massive and worth it! Also really fresh

They can name it trashy bucee’s

And at BUC EES... give tired automobile drivers a place to eat their food that they bought inside.

@@tommaika9121 If they did that, people would stay too long and stay parked at the gas pumps too long. Not a good thing at all unless they put some tables way out in the parking lot by the road and build a shade. That way it gets people away from the pumps and the building.

I wouldn't say the prices are low. The food is delicious, but quite expensive I remember I got a giant burrito from there and it was like 20 usd. Best burrito I've ever eaten, but also the most expensive. Next, the chips are usually 1 usd more expensive than your average grocery store, but they do have some chips there that I've never seen anywhere else.

Buy your fuel in Bama and your liquor in Florida. Beach wisdom.

they said they will never go out east side of the state cause its too expensive to build out there and they wont get there money worth.

I live close to the Richmond location it's way smaller than the big Katy location I really like it because it is smaller with less of a crowd. I've never been that impressed with food. Jerky is good though.

Not to mention all of the drug dealers who haunt truck stops, and the " lot lizards" and their " managers" that create a less than family friendly atmosphere.

Ya if I ever go to fuc ees I will shit next to toilet

@@ernestclements7398 holy shit good point

No room for them to get around. Parking across the street is OK though.

They’re all overwhelming even in Texas

@@nobaddaystravel6855 I agree

We have visited it twice and it is above expectations!!!! and SO FUN!!! What do they NOT have there? I personally recommend the brisket sandwich!

I was thinking the same thing!

I live in Louisiana and we aren't mad that Raising Canes and Popeyes ventured outside of Louisiana. I do understand how they feel in Texas because it's like a state having a landmark. You have only one landmark and the only way to see it is by going to that state. So Buc-ees was sort of like a landmark. Want to see Buc-ees then you have to visit Texas and then they spend money in Texas

I stopped at the DB location in November and it was my first visit ever to a Buc-ee's. I noticed the cahier's name badge had night shift manager and I asked if he knew of any more stores planned for Florida besides Daytona and Saint Augustine. He said the plans aren't firm, but they're planning one for Ocala and Fort Lauderdale for 2023. I really wish they'd build one on I-4 between Tampa and Orlando.

@@Jamessmith-xk3fh Really? We have a few Raising Canes in Bryan-College Station Tx

Not most of Texas, just Houston, DFW, San Antonio triangle, millions of Texans have never seen a Bucees.

Pearland is brazoria county

Not to mention that they are all meth heads

I hope they replace that tiny dumpy location in Giddings.

@@highping1786 To really build one the size the like to build they would need a rather large chunk of land. I they have 2 as you get closer to Houston in Waller and then Cypress. There is the one is Bastrop too. I think they keep the one in Giddings open since it is so small and tiny. You could put the entire store into the Bathroom at one of the new locations.

I live near that location. It is a tiny dump compared to the others.

I live only 22 miles from Buc-ee's in Calhoun, Ga. So, needless to say, I try to frequent it every couple of weeks! Love it!😁

@@cnhaygood1865 I wish there was one in Marietta, Ga. Tired of McDonald's and BK. No car to get to any outside of my neighbourhood.

There's two on i95 saint Augustine and Daytona Beach.

They're at the side entrance.

Thank you Texas for Buc-ee's! From a resident of Georgia.

Paint starts stripping off after a year in direct sun for more than 16 hours every single day . Is not the carwash fault is just nature destroying everything non organic

@Mike S Cigarettes are fairly priced. They don’t sell blunt skins and/or papers either. Nothing for the weed smokers, expect stuff to satisfy the munchies.

Darn, hope you are able to go there at some point.

Sounds like that deputy was a real asshole. You shoulda told him to pound sand. He can't solicit a trespass from the property owner and it's obvious nobody from Bucees called him or he wouldn't have asked. Still though, if the place is open when you get there you should ASK them about overnight parking. Especially a semi.

Been a truck driver for 30 years and have no desire to stop at any location in my 4 wheeler. Won't even let you stop to take your federally mandated 30 minute break.

They would just find another outfit to deliver their goods. I'm with you on not going to buc-ee's.

I live in Lake Jackson as well. Drove past Aplins house all the time while delivering pizzas. One of my good friends helped build his house.

Hi neighbor...I live in the same part of the county...I am old enough to have been a customer in the first BucEEs built on the corner of Oyster Creek Drive and Old Angleton Road.

@@theirmom4723 I still go to that store at least a few days a week

Buc-ees figures that 18 wheelers have TA, Loves, Flying J s, so they will concentrate on all the 4 wheelers, RVs, pickups and everything in between on the roadways.

I want to hear from other Black people. My experience was “What do you want? And followed around the store. This was the one off the expressway heading to Dallas.

Pedro sez "please don't go to Buc ee's"😄

@ Forrest Gump-- I can remember when Pedro at "South of the Border" was very busy back in the 1960's through the 1990's. In the past 15 or so years, every time that I stop at South of the Border, it seems more and more like a ghost town. Unfortunately, the new Buc-ee's in Florence, SC, might be the end of Pedro. 😢😢

The Luling, Texas location will soon be the largest in the country bringing bragging rites back to Texas.

@@rudedog34 I haven't been to the Luling location in over 2 years. Are they expanding it even more ?

@@elli003 They are going to build the new site adjacent to the existing store. I'm not sure if they're going to utilize any of the existing store or not.

The truckers would loose a lot of income. If the trucks were allowed in Buc'ees parking lots Buc'ees would loose a lot of family business. Lot lizards and whatnot of the trucking business.

Because of their policy on trucks I'll never spend a nickel in one.

I got kicked out of the one in Calhoun Georgia across from the loves

@@OneOut1 QuikTrip is doing just fine.

Waaaaaahhhhh!!!! Cry and bitch and complain....maybe try one of the other THOUSANDS of truck stops across the nation?

I don’t work at Walmart, but can tell u that they pay pretty well for retail, so maybe u should actually research b4 commenting

As a former worker, No the hell they don’t. They can’t ever get fully staffed because of how many people up and quit. They treat employees like trash.

@@chriscarter8440 As someone who has worked management in retail, unfortunately the pool of applicants isn’t exactly stellar, you have potential n current employees who prefer to not show up, not take pride in their job performance, unreliable, and u have employees who cannot or will not stay off their phones, so please tell me why they deserve top pay? Your entitled to exactly nothing in this life!

As a highly qualified pastry chef I applied for bakery job. I received a call (phone interview) from them the interviewer loved me and was looking forward to bringing me into the team as a manager of bakery counter until....... The question of do I have any visible tattoos ( I have two the size of nickels one on each hand ) she instantly changed tune and said I can no longer join team due to the tattoos (even if I cover) for which the interviewer said "the owners doesn't want employees with tattoos that if even one person seen the tattoo on accident you will be terminated on the spot.".

@@Jessicafreeman8369 It’s there Company, there rules! While I may not be a fan of their stance on tats, I respect it! You have a right to choose what I put on ur body, but they have a right to not hire people who have tats!
