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.
