After hearing so much hoopla about Buc-ee's, we decided to stop there and fuel up on our way back from New Mexico. Plus, Gas Buddy informed me that they had the least expensive gas in the area, with a 57-gallon tank to fill, every little bit helps.
So, I'm driving our motorhome, with our Can-Am Spyder in an enclosed 14' trailer. I have to hunt for an open fuel island and after circling the pumps twice, I find one. It's a two-pump island and I get the second pump, which means that there's someone in front of me and my trailer is hanging out, in the way of others., I'm a bit concerned but I figure that I'll be in and out quickly. Yeah, right.
I start the fill process and after I get that going, I start to look around me at the other shoppers.
WTF?
Where is everyone? ALL the cars around me are empty, while still parked at a pump!!!! EVERYONE is inside the 7-Eleven on steroids! It's as if these people have never seen a store before and they ALL have to go in and leave their cars at the pump!
That's fine except that I'm ready to leave and the guy in front of me, blocking my way out, is still 'shopping'.
So now I have to wait for this guy? Whatever happened to common curtesy? Get your gas, move the car, do your shopping.
Of course, Buc-ee's is perfectly happy with this behavior, they're making money, what do they care?
This was the first and LAST time we every spend a dime at Buc-ee's! I'd rather pay more at the pump than to have to put up with this crap.
My wife had to get out and block the traffic behind us and she moved a couple of barricades, and this allowed me to back the motorhome/trailer up and get the heck out of that madhouse!!!
