What do you mean? My red state has a giant horseshoe and.....a couple theme parks I think?

Now, if we could only get a dozen other companies to take the same stance.

For instance, Chick-fil-A outlets, to me, only occupy space and feed junk food to my neighbors. Given the Christian nationalist stance of their upper management and support of anti-LGBT+ activism, they're really not a good fit for California.

Or any state that respects its own public.

Don’t forget Hobby Lobby.

Well I guess I'm boycotting that business too except to use the restroom because let's face it, they're cleaner than most any other business.

Wear your politics on your sleeve and I'll vote with my wallet.

Good, don’t need those in WA. lawsuit happy fucks.

Whatever, Buc. Fuck you too.

[–] DonkeyStar@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

I remember when Buc-ees came to my state and everyone went “Hell, yeah, I’ll work at a gas station for $22/hr!” Pretty soon, word got around that you’re not even supposed to sit on your breaks. The people enthusiastically screaming “Fresh brisket on the board!!” Rapidly gave way to a tone that said “I am contractually obligated to say ‘Fresh brisket on the board’ at an at least mildly elevated volume.”

Still, I’m surprised by this story. The pay made a hell of a first impression, and the sitting thing made me think some kind of weird religious kink, but overtly political messaging was not something I expected. I’m just so used to “Fuckin’ burger-flippers want $15 an hour, you b’lieve ‘at?!” that Republicans never crossed my mind.

As someone in a blue state, am I missing anything from then not being here?

[–] lps2@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 hours ago

Have you ever walked into a gas station and thought, "man, I really wish this was the size of a Walmart and filled with cheap trinkets ala FiveBelow but beaver themed, had children running everywhere, and mediocre bbq"?

[–] mbp@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 hours ago

They do have amazing bathrooms but it seems I never time it right.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 hours ago

Is it really a bad thing that a company that decides to be political, will for political reasons cut themselves out from around 50% of the market?

I only wish more Fascists torpedoed themselves like that.

So small businesses in blue states with beavers as part of their logo won't have to worry about getting sued? Sounds good to me.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 32 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't Buc-ees the company that's suing small businesses over cartoon logos they've had since before Buc-ees existed?

I'll never step foot in one.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, and they've gotten themselves into a beef with Beavercreek OH over it.

Personally, I'm glad they won't be coming to my state

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

i feel the same way about heb, but have no evidence to justify that

[–] lps2@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The opposite with HEB, they give to blue causes and candidates

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

good to know

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world -1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

The fuck is a Buc-ee's? Is it where you elope with your sibling/cousin?

And what kind of cousin fucking business owner openly states they won't expand their business?

[–] metermatic26@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Yeah, America is going the sh*^#er. And it’s all because of the communists complaining about minimum wages, bathroom breaks and company health insurance.

/s obviously

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

"I just need some shit I could get at 7eleven, but I really want the inconvenience of an old fashioned trip to the mall. I know... Sheetz! Or Bucees! Or Pilot! Or FlyingJ!

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Hey, sheetz has good gas prices and seems to pay their employees well.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

MTO is way better than fast food at about the same price point, as well

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 12 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Buc-ee's ain't nothing but a tacky 30 year too late knock-off of Sheetz but with worse ownership.

[–] outerspace@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 hours ago

Isn't buc-ees doing the cultural barrier?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 27 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (7 children)

Lol, these companies are so lost.

More small businesses is great!

Bucees is actually suing a bunch of small businesses for using any logo with a beaver right now. It's super fucked up. Fuck them.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

More then just a beaver. Any animal they think looks similar.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Because we all know moose look so much like beavers...

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

Bucees is actually suing a bunch of small businesses for using any logo with a ~~beaver~~ cartoon right now.
