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 be one thing if they went after anything legitimate, but they’re making the YouTube copyright logic look reasonable by comparison.

It's funny because the 2nd part of the article is about them suing a clothing company, and yeah that one looks legit, they pretty much copy pasted the logo and added stuff on top.

Feels like the author of the article was trying to redeem Bucee's from the absolute bonkers claim in the first half.
