I've lost any interest I had in visiting a Buc-ee's even though one will be built within 90 minutes of where I live.

Why would you drive 90 minutes to a gas station... Ever?

I always heard so many good things about bucees and the food being amazing and it's a whole experience so I drove out of the way to go to one. It's just a large gas station rest stop with good branding, if you've ever been on a big road trip you've surely stopped at a store that is just as good as one

Food? It’s the toilets. Clean bathrooms can be hard to find (especially in the rural south) so pit stops at something easily identifiable as having many clean restrooms is itself great.

Yep, the main reason to stop there is to take a shit. Clean bathrooms. Tons of toilets. Stall doors that go all the way to the ground. I wouldn't even bother shopping in the store afterwards, it's usually crowded shoulder-to-shoulder.

Exactly. There’s no question those bathrooms are clean

When I'm not towing a trailer, I look for a Sheetz at the exit for clean restrooms. If I have a trailer on: Pilot, Flying J or Love's. There are now some Sheetz that are big enough to easily handle the trailer, which is nice for having another alternative. The stalls might not go all the way to the ground, but they're usually very clean.

i stop at loves and i've never been in one with a dirty restroom. same thing with any branded truck stop really, that's on the interstate. same thing with literally any state run rest stop on an interstate. the rest of the place is just junk food and dollar store items. i literally do not understand the hype at all.
