On it. That reminded me to finish an idea from a couple weeks back.
Yay!
I don't get it (I have no idea what Bucees is).
Buc-ees is a GIANT gas station (like 40 or 80 gas stalls), and convenience store, but is the size of a small department store.
So how does that relate to DS9?
DS9 is a giant (gas) station with a lot of shops
Buccee's is apprently pretty shitty to their employees, so it's more like DS9 run by Quark.
Pay and benefits are awesome. After my wife got the list of rules? "Babe. Do NOT take that job."
- Late by 30 seconds, fired 3rd time, no exceptions. (This is in the middle of nowhere on the interstate. She would have to show up 40 minutes early to ensure no traffic issues.)
- Can't enter the store before your shift.
- Can't leave the store during your shift.
- You must take a particular path to go to the breakroom.
- You cannot go outside.
- If anyone spots a tat on your flesh? Fired instantly.
There's more I'm forgetting. This place thinks because of the good pay and benefits that they own you soul.
FYI not every bucees is the size of a department store, although most of the ones they’ve been building along interstates over the past 10-15 years definitely are.
There are plenty, especially near Lake Jackson where they are headquartered, that are the size of a regular gas station.
It's an oasis on road trips
It’s someone answering the question, “What if a gas station were the side of a small Wal-Mart and had promenade vibes?”
They sell everything in the middle of nowhere. They make fresh fudge and candies. They sell gas. The bathrooms are always clean. Their logo is an anthropomorphized beaver in a hat. It's glorious.
Now I'm going to hum the DS9 credits to myself every time I walk into a Buc-ees.
🎶ITS BEEN A LONG ROAD, YOU SHOULD STOP AND FILL UP HERE🎶 ITS BEEN A LOOONG TIME, BUT YOUR THRONE IS FINALLY NEAR
IVE GOT FUDGE OF THE HEART
After my wife got a job there and we heard all the abusive policies, she bailed. I'll never set foot in one again.
There's no way DS9's bathrooms are that clean.
i accidentally stumbled into the biggest bucees on work trip.
holy crap, it was the size of like 3 large truckstops and a grocery store. ive never seen so many pumps in one place.
Finally getting a Bucees up close to Amarillo soon I've heard, honestly can't wait to check it out.
but they have gagh instead of brisket
