Now let me preference this by saying it just might be in my algorithm on YouTube and Substack, and of course normie propaganda; but I'm seeing lots and lots of stories and videos of mostly Europeans here for the World Cup who seem amazed by America. And even they seemed surprised how much they are enjoying being here.

Funny enough I drive by Buc-ees all the time and honestly I think it's odd too. I've been in them. I went in the first real giant one some 15ish years ago in New Braunfels. It was pretty novel then.
My opinion of them is if you are on a road trip or mini convoy with a bunch of people, there's really nowhere better to stop than a Buc-ees. If you stop at some Indian convenience store you're going to spend all of your time trying to corral kids and different people into the one disgusting bathroom that the guy before just totally shit all over the place, etc. Buc-ees restrooms alone are worth it in that scenario. The last couple times I went in a Buc-ees it's because nature was calling in an unpleasant way and I knew I could get a nice private almost little room of a stall that would be super clean quickly. The bathrooms really are a sight to behold from a public restroom sense.
Then you have options for everyone in the group. The guy who wants to walk around a bit there's space. The two people who want two totally opposite things and are crabby about it from being cramped in a car, well they can get them.
For me, I'm very often out alone, and Buc-ee's is never where I want it when I'd be the most likely to take a break. It's like right on the edge of towns often, where as I'd be more inclined to take my time if it was in the middle of nowhere. So I really never use them, because I'm a guy traveling alone who can piss in the sea of disgust anywhere and I don't eat a lot of convenience snacks anyway.
