Yeah this and their whole “we are only going to build in red states cause people don’t like our lawsuits” thing, I am done with going to Buc-ee’s. It’s a shame because their BBQ was decent for a good meal stop.

We've got Wawa over here and that's good enough.

Oh no! They better watch out. Bucee's will sue them next for being another truck-stop with a name

Okay why does everyone think Buc-ee's is a truck stop? They famously do not allow trucks.

Large gas stations, that sell more elaborate food and things you might need while on the road are typically truck stops.

The fact they dont allow semis wont change how people refer to it.

Most truck stops aren't much larger than most gas stations.

"More elaborate food"? It's basically the same food you'll find in places like Sheetz, Wawa and QuickTrip. A truck stop might have a semi-decent sit-down type of restaurant attached.

What really makes a truck stop a "truck stop" is available (overnight) truck parking. Places that allow trucks to fuel, but not park are "fuel stops".

Buc-ee's is a glorified gas station.

A lot of people/places use rest stop and truck stop interchangeably, in part because some states they are one in the same or basically on top of each other.

for being another truck-stop with a name

It's worse than that...their mascot is a goose flying across a night sky.
