Another convert found in social media:
“We stopped at Buc-ee’s just to “use the bathroom real quick.”
Rookie mistake.
Twenty minutes later…
I’m pushing a cart (WHY do they even have carts at a gas station??),
my toddler is licking a 3-pound bag of gummy worms,
My husband is talking to a complete stranger about beef jerky like it’s a fine wine tasting,
and
I’m somehow Standing there with a cart full of fudge, a brisket sandwich the size of my face., matching family Buc-ee’s shirts, and a cast iron skillet I absolutely did NOT need
The baby has a whole new wardrobe and is now chewing on a Buc-ee’s spatula like a teether
The 5-year-old has a beaver plushie the size of a Golden Retriever.
And I’m $300 poorer wondering how the heck we just left a GAS STATION with more stuff than I got at Target last week.
Buc-ee’s isn’t a gas station.
It’s a full-blown amusement park disguised as a bathroom break.
And we fall for it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Send help.
And wet wipes.
And maybe another brisket taco.”
