“And I’m starting to realize life’s too short to try to build in places that people don’t appreciate what you’re bringing versus a place like this, where people do appreciate what you’re building,” Aplin continued.
Well, I guess it's just as well that I "don't appreciate" a company with no break room, where employees regularly work 10 hours shifts, where they're generously allowed a 10 minute "personal moment" to eat lunch standing up in the back, where if you're late more than 3 times in 6 months you get fired (and that includes being "late" back from the bathroom), where they never do reviews so you never get a raise, are under constant audio and video surveillance, you have to have your phone turned off your entire shift, you get in trouble if you refuse to work late and you can't leave until "your work is done", you can't go to your car during work (not even to get, say, period products), no employee discount for a shift meal, etc, etc. Seriously, fuck Buccee's, I'm glad you find the blue states "hostile".
They are suing a local business owner who has been in business with this logo for decades... and are saying it is not "business-friendly" to support a local small business over a national mega-chain.
A Buc-ee's gas station is like a Disneyland version of a truck stop. Has a big footprint like one, but actual commercial drivers aren't able to stop there.
Buccees has always been run by conservatives. You should tell your gay neighbor that they might not want to spend any more money there unless they’re some sort of log cabin republican.
"Conservative, business friendly" is literally counter to employee and community friendly. They build there cause they can do so at the expense of the employees and the communities.
I wonder if there's another reason the company wants to operate only in red states and wants to flood the zone with lawsuits that give them horrible press...
The son of a co-founder of a popular Texas gas station chain is facing a new felony charge in Travis County, less than a year after being indicted on multiple counts of felony invasive visual recording.
29-year-old Mitchell Wasek, son of Bucee's co-founder Don Wasek, has been charged with third-degree felony possession or promotion of child pornography.
A warrant for his arrest was issued on Feb. 27 and bond has been set at $50,000, according to court records.
That article was old, but pretrial was supposed to start like a week ago, very very hard to find recent articles, but that's the entire point of all this bullshit. They're creating as much noise as possible because anything is better than that trial for their image.
The CEO will shit on a sidewalk if it's a guilty verdict, that's still preferable to people talking about the founder's son and trying it to the brand.
This is SO Stupid! Conservatives are the LAST group of People who would DEFEND and VOTE for Known Pedophiles! If he REALLY wants to Protect his Pedophile son he would go to BLUE States where people ACTIVELY Defend Pedophiles by allowing TRANS People to use Bathrooms!

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) has argued the company’s decision to sue a local business operator in Beavercreek, Ohio, for alleged trademark infringement was “ridiculous.”

Damn 🙁 (We don’t have them in my area, and I actually don’t understand the hype.)

Why does this feel like Buc-ee’s decided to try and cash in on MAGA appeal. Wonder how that will work out long term.
This makes me sad only because my sweet gay neighbor just went on a roadtrip and brought me back a rainbow tiedye bucees magnet thats on my fridge.
And for now its gonna stay cause it was a nice gift, but now bucees has made it feel complicated for it to be there :/

She isn't a log cabin republican, I assume she just didnt know. We don't have them where we live.

Conservative, business friendly... Y'know, morons.
Huh...

He is apparently trying get identities of those accusing him in the civil suit.
The only other thing I could find was a video on Yahoo from two weeks ago that seems to have the same info. Nothing on the criminal side.
Trying to bribe the Pro-Pedo states with a combination of clean bathrooms, ego stroking, and brisket.
yikes!
It's weirdly flying completely under the radar...
Jon Oliver did a whole deep dive on the company and their lawsuits and everything, and he completely missed it.
When I first heard about it, I didn't believe it because surely it would have been huge news. They must have a crazy good PR team.
Legal Eagle did a breakdown of them after Oliver's segment as well that's worth watching.
Well, then, fuck Buc-ee's.
The
(R)stands forRepublican.Lmfao yes I'm sure beavercreek residents are gonna love being called liberals
Reasonable copyright enforcement IS business friendly
