    These types of debates are always entertaining to me after living in every corner of the US over the past 20 years. Every one of my opinions is obviously the most informed, I can not be wrong in a subjective debate.

    Wegmans has no competition. Truly elite.

    Buccees is good, but too many people and can be a real bitch to get in/out of. Needs a custom sandwich order station like Wawa.

    Pretty sure i posted in last years random thoughts thread about road tripping back from dallas with friends

    ignoring about 25 gas stations to make it to bucees and running out of gas about 100 yards away like a dumbass

    I assume this your point, but I’ve found almost all of those chains to be overrated. If Publix didn’t have subs / chicken, it would just be a normal nice grocery store

    Just had one open very close to me. Traffic around that area is impossible to deal with on weekends now.

    Brisket & egg burritos and cheap sodas are the only reasons to ever go imo.

    Dammit, I figured you guys would just keep arguing that what you know is better than what you don't, but then I see someone blaspheming fudge. FUDGE!!! Fudge is good, and anybody who doesn't like it as a fool.

    if you brag about the restroom facilities of any place and the doors at said facilities don't reach the ground, you really shouldn't be bragging about them.

    You don’t enjoy consumerism wrapped in a pretty cartoon gopher? I know folks that have wrapped their entire vacation around stopping at a gas station. The one at the Baldwin County Beach Express that takes you to Gulf Shores in Alabama is a hellscape.

    We plan our trips from Houston to Arkansas around bucees stops. It’s a nice place to top off the tank, let the dog out, and grab a snack before reaching the next one on the other side of Dallas and then entering the wasteland of Oklahoma and Arkansas.

    There's a whole subgenre of TikToks where people from other countries (and sometimes other parts of the U.S.) go to Buccee's for the first time. Like someone else itt said, it’s kind of weird how excited folks get about regional gas station and grocery store chains. I kind of get why people from other countries would be intrigued by American fast food culture. But it’s still kind of sad.

    I went to high school there which is across the street from JJ’s. Our football practices were held behind the school and you could hear the jungle music playing during practice. It was always hilarious listening to a coach yell at the entire team and when it was dead silent after he got done with whatever tirade you’d hear that shit lol.

    Have taken part in a lot of after school tomfoolery at JJ’s
