You DON'T understand, it's the best place to ever end up in a long road trip. It's got everything you could ever need and the nicest people ever hired by a gas station because they all get paid really good money. It's got a giant wall of their own candy's and snacks, you could get fresh food or goods or any snack or drink you could ever want and they have these giant marbled hall bathrooms with dozens of stalls in them. I used to go to one while I was in school for bi monthly snack runs and I would fill a duffel bag with stuff like water melon sours and beaver nuggets.
They sell every piece of camping, kayaking, fishing equipment, some hunting stuff too like every outdoor activity you could be driving towards in a long drive, everything you could ever want to comfort yourself if you've been in your car all day. And you would think it would be expensive but it isn't because they place them only in high traffic areas and make them big and popular so they get high volume and they can keep individual margins low.
My first girlfriend in middle school gave me a ring with a penny in it that was pressed into a buc ees token at one of their stops and I held onto it for like a decade as a keepsake of her. Buc ees isn't just a gas station, it's a place that stores a piece of my heart and soul.
