    Good to know that Buc-ee’s is a business to avoid. If they were sticking to their principles, however, they would have opened locations in West Virginia instead of Virginia.

      Both where they just built one and the next one they plan to build in Virginia are very red counties.

    No business ever succeeds in a blue state, that’s why blue states have no businesses. It’s also probably why they are so blue.

        It makes a bunch more sense if you stick a giant /s on the end.

          I don’t like adding those, if people can’t tell what obvious sarcasm is, they can downvote. I don’t care.

      Yea, California… Notoriously having no businesses. Also Colorado and New York. Definitely nobody has successful businesses there.

      If you’re gonna troll at least put some fucking effort into it. However, this is the level of analytical thought I’d expect from a conservative, so not surprised.

    Blue states are just enough smarter that the Buceees business model wouldn’t really work. I’ve been to a bucees - yawn. It’s the Mal-Wart of convenience stores.
