And its food selection is more comparable to a Trader Joe’s than a vending machine, with a bakery, an entire wall of bagged jerky of varying flavors and a brisket station manned by employees in straw hats who holler every time a new hot slab of beef is ready for chopping.
This just seems like a grocery store with some gas pumps. Is there really not much going on in Texas that people go to a grocery store as an adventure?
It is nothing like Trader Joe’s. It’s more similar to the food and other crap you’d find at Stuckeys in the 1970s.

I don’t know if I saw it mentioned in the article, but Buccee’s is great not only for the bathrooms and food, but you’ll find signs all over showing exactly what you’ll get paid for working there. And for a gas station, the wages seem pretty good.
You don’t see other gas stations posting their wages for every customer to see is all I’m sayin’. All the way up to general manager showing they make something like $150k+.
I love me some good ol gas station BBQ and beef jerky.
Buc-ees is life. One of the best parts of a road trip.
