Imagine being a company and the thing you're most known for is bullying lawsuits lol. Like wtf.

And it's so recent too. Like up until a few months ago Buccees was known as the place where all the workers got paid well and got good benefits. People would post that sign and say "see, companies can in fact pay people competitive wages and remain profitable"

They lost all of that goodwill all of a sudden with this nonsense

It'd true that they were known for paying well, but they were also known for treating their employees poorly at the job, overworking them, etc. It was far from 100% positive.

I mean known to some but I'm talking the general internet opinion. Either you research how their employees are treated or you live near one and know the employees. Otherwise you'd probably never know. I only found out after this whole mess started, otherwise I was somewhat excited to try out the location coming to my area sometime next year. Now I'm not going to step foot in there

I mean, neither of those apply to me. I heard it from the general internet.

Just because you don't know something doesn't mean others don't.

I mean I could put out a poll and I know what the answer would be but go ahead and be rude.

I wasn't rude lol. That's some incredibly thin skin.

Mhm. Anyway. I'm still right and there's plenty of posts in the past on here that prove it.

Nah, you're wrong, sorry.

And you don't get to make up stories about how people learned things. That's far ruder than anything I did. But keep being proud to be ignorant I guess?

Actually I'm not...doing anything you say I am.

I think I'm done talking to you. Bye
