Buccee’s

look, i am definitely not above Buccee's fine cuisine but i generally loathe places that are designed to make you spend more money than you want to

and when i am on the road, i am not typically looking for a place to grocery shop for junk food...i just want to gas up and grab some coffee and gtfo
Yeah, then clearly Buccee's isn't the place to stop with that goal in mind. Buccee's is a destination that people will plan to stop along their trips. I do go to the nearby Buccee's for gas, but it's the ethanol free stuff which I prefer to put in my lawn equipment. And they're the closest place that sells it. I get the gas, and I leave. But it's 20 mins away so it's not like some big novelty on a road trip.
