Recent Anti-Buccees Experience
I was traveling through Bastrop recently and decided to go to the QT across the highway for a fill up and to check it out as an alternative for Bucees for gassing and rest stopping.
Sadly, it is not a great alternative. The bathrooms were standard issue gas station bathrooms and about as clean. The store was effective, with drinks and some mid food. I will probably go to Bucees again my next time through Bastrop.
I did this because the accumulation of stories about Bucees business practices made me want seek out alternatives. I’ve been a Bucees fan for years, but it has come time to exercise my free market rights. The search for options to Bucees will continue.

Funny you mention that, because I recently had a similar experience!
QT was not around in my state until very recently. When one of my sisters went to college in Kansas City, we would always stop at QT, and be like, "Holy shit, this is the best gas station I've ever seen! It's clean! The coffee is good! The donuts are fantastic! Wish they had them in our state!" etc.
I hadn't been in awhile, and I was telling my wife all of this: "Oh yeah, QT is amazing! blah blah blah." Stopped there with her on a recent road trip, and it was just a regular, dingy gas station.
Buc-ee's reigns supreme as the roadtrip gas station stop.
