    Hey look everyone! This person’s a billionaire apologist!

    What do you expect from somebody who uses a corporate logo (of a Texas gas station, no less) as their avatar pic?

    (I’m (kinda) joking.)

      TBF Buc-ee’s is one of the most employee and consumer friendly chains across the US. They publicly post their pay (this image is from last year) and it’s far above what most gas stations (or even retail stores) will pay

        Sigh… yeah, I know. For what it is, Buc-ees is pretty great: very tasty food, very nice restrooms, good policies as an employer, etc. The only problem is that “what it is” – literally “the world’s largest convenience store,” a gigantic monument to car-dependency, fossil fuels, and lazy consumerism – is fundamentally pretty terrible.

        This conversation is making me crave a pastrami reuben and some beaver nuggets, and I’m kinda hating myself for it.
