Welcome to Buc-ee’s, America’s Best Beaver-Hosted Gas Superstation
When I was a kid, gas fill-ups were just another ordinary errand, like buying groceries or refilling your parents' prescription or suffering at the dentist: they had to be done, but nobody ever giggled with anticipation or clapped their hands at the sight of those establishments. Sure, groceries got less tedious after WWII when the FDA legalized flavor, but nobody rational ever thought gas stations were fun...least of all during the 1970s energy crisis, when America's last hundred gallons had to be split 100 million ways. Getting gas was expensive and dispiriting and, worst of all, it was really boring. Here in the 21st century, everything must be fun now. Any human activity or business that doesn't entertain us is ignored or shamed, which might explain why so many people in our neighborhood don't mow their lawns anymore. Gas stations aren't exempt: we can't just pull up, pump, pay, and proceed. We'd fall asleep with the nozzle in our hand and spray gas everywhere. We need at least one (1) thrilling moment while we're there. At some chains, the pumps have little screens showing ads, or music piping through speakers, or apps encouraging customers to come inside for all the snacks and bargains. Years ago, somewhere in Texas, a brilliant entrepreneur figured out a new angle: what if you crossed a gas station with a Walmart and a Disney World gift shop? Because everything's better with cartoon animals! […] -

I want a gas pump that:
✅ Doesn't ask me if I want a "car wash", "grocery points" or "debit/credit"
✅ Doesn't STOP mid fill up
✅ Uses Tap-to-Pay & goes straight to selecting my fuel octane
✅ Gets me back on the road in 5min
...props to #Chevron. -
Good morning, friends. 💮💮💮
20 November 2024
Charlie just wandered into my office; I'm running late it's 23 minutes to mealtime.
I was just thinking about years ago, when I would pull my car into a gas station and an attendant would come out. I would often just buy two dollars' worth of gas and the attendant would pump the gas, check my oil, check my tire pressure, and wash my windshield. Gas station attendant was a job and often the attendant would wear a uniform complete with name tag, so that you knew that your car service was being done by Bob. Now we have to pump our own gas, except for in Oregon and New Jersey where Deja vu strikes if you happen to visit.
"Today you can go to a gas station and find the cash register open and the toilets locked. They must think toilet paper is worth more than money." - Joey Bishop
