Buc-ee’s are popping up all over America. It’s to the point that the beaver-emblazoned beacon is becoming a roadside attraction in its own right. Why? Convenience and cleanliness - the giant gas stations are known for having massive, ultra-clean restrooms. There’s also every kind of snack, sandwich and soft drink you could ever want all under one roof. It’s no surprise then that a Trump-hating writer for Jalopnik (yep, we never heard if it either) would call these shrines to roadside comfort and capitalism, a ‘sickness'.
Read on.
Buc-ee's Is The Sickness At The Heart Of Americahttps://t.co/fmjC3e0shF

Buc-ee’s can be a little overwhelming. They’re crowded and hectic. Why? Weary travelers love them, so they’re a popular pit stop. Still, the positives the writer chose to ignore outweigh the negatives.
Lefties hate Buc-ee's...

Because they hate America:
Pristine spacious bathrooms, great quick nutritious food, dozens of FAST (9-10gpm) gas pumps..
Pay employees well.
Friendly staff.
And red & yellow "water cans" with flexible spouts perfect for filling tractors with diesel.

No kudos to Buc-ee's for the astounding wages they pay? And the businesses that pop up around them like car washes and dog play places? Bradley Brownell must've be a peach on the roadtrip.

Who the f#@k approved this BS? It’s a friggin’ interstate rest stop. It’s super fun in its over the top variety! Clean as a whistle; great, friendly staff; good prices. The epitome of coastal elite snobbery at its worst.

The formula of taking something the vast majority loves and dumping on it is tired and trite.
This article feels like a redux of when libs used to cry about super sized fries and Hummers

Writing an essay on why you hate a truck stop you can just drive past seems a little much. Some of you need a life. You seem miserable.

The article has an even more trite plot twist: he really loves it! Give us a break, no you don’t!
Hating our transportation culture in America and writing for a car magazine is an interesting combo.

Definitely weird. I wonder if he wrote that he liked it at the end to evade criticism. Would have drove the point home if he explained what aspects he loved about all the things he seemed to bash the first 92% of the article.

I don’t think the last paragraph undoes all the ones before it.

TL;DR- "I'm gonna talk sh$t about Buc-ee's and say that I love it at the end, because ragebait works"

It’s easy to imagine the next Jalopnik roadtrip article will focus on how horrible McDonald’s is and then have a last paragraph reveal of ‘I really love it, fooled you! The fries are delicious!’ So boring.
