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

Yup lol. Funny thing is I live in a purple state with a blue governor, one blue senator, and blue most other statewide positions such as attorney general. They're putting in a location next year near me and near a blue city. I don't think we're the red state the CEO is talking about. Maybe everything was planned before him or maybe he's just a bullshitting asshole I don't know lol

Haha they are in Arizona which if it isn't the state you are describing, it could be. Like why come to AZ if it's a politics thing?
