Buc-ees is the embodiment of America. It is convenience mixed with driving culture along with patriotism, false idols, consumerism, and gastronomy. It is oversized yet feels small once you are inside. It is a modern oasis that provides thirsty travelers sustenance and everything else they could ever want. There is a reason they arise in the middle of nowhere along a route of pilgrimage. Hundreds of years ago, travelers would stop at road side shrines and leave offerings and pray for a safe journey, Buc-ees is the evolution of that practice. Pay your money and travel with a beaver to get you to your destination. It is a place where a high school graduate can rise up to manager and earn $160k a year. It provides hundreds of jobs in areas that are economically depressed. Buc-ees is both the best and worst of America. It is the Alpha and the Omega of our country. It history mixed with the future in the most American way possible. It is not good, it is not evil, but it is American.
