Buc-ee’s Fans Say This is Biggest Crime to Commit While Shopping

(Terrell, Texas) - Quick show of hands (I know I can't see you but play along), are you a big fan of Buc-ee's? If you are, is there something that really bugs you that Buc-ee's newbies do? I'm sure you've got a couple of things.

One of the biggest pet peeves for fans, and non-fans alike, is those who stop to fill up their gas tanks but don't bother moving from that spot to shop. It doesn't matter what gas station I'm at, unless I'm paying with cash, I park at the pump long enough to fill the tank then move. For numerous Buc-ee's fans, that is the biggest issue of stopping at Buc-ee's.

Parking at a Gas Pump at Buc-ee's

This fan of Buc-ee's was not happy that someone decided to park at the gas pump while they shopped inside (BUC-EES LOVERS on Facebook). I see both sides of the argument here. For one, if you're going to be wandering around inside for an hour, which is very easy to do at Buc-ee's, pump your gas first then pull up to a parking spot.

It's not required, no, but it is the polite thing to do. On the other hand, you don't know what that person is doing inside and for how long. They may want to:

• grab a drink
• use the restroom
• pick out a favorite jerky
• grab a t-shirt
• a bag of Beaver Nuggets
• pay for their gas at the register

Bigger Issue Than Parking at the Pump

I believe the bigger complaint should be those who pull through a gas pump to get to a parking spot. I can't tell you how many times I've pulled in the side entrance of a gas station to park and almost hit someone, or someone almost hit me, who was pulling through the gas pump area to get to those same parking spots.

It doesn't take that much longer to go around the pump area to park. Just like on the highway, in a parking lot, you're not the only there and need to look out, and be courteous, to everyone else.
