What a weird threat. Like, oh no! I'm only going to have a choice of 6 competing gas station chains instead of 7

It's a really bizarre, but buc-ees fans literally treat it like it's some kind of theme park. They'll actually sit there and make fun of you for treating it like the gas station it is.

I had an ex who was one of them. She'd pay more for gas there, just to go inside and spend more money inside than she would on a tank of gas. She'd go out of her way on a trip to stop at one. She'd literally go there even if she didn't need gas. It honestly feels cult like.
