The main benefits of buccees is that you can rely on them to be easy to find, always open, always with pumps available and actually cheap gas, always with recently cleaned restrooms with low to no wait (at least the larger ones) regardless of business,with hot food that is filling if overpriced (and legit quality BBQ) and a huge selection of any kind of gas station snack or beverage, particularly cheap sodas and hot coffee.

They just tick all the boxes and are a safe reliably pleasant experience.

the cult appeal is lost to me, but the quality of the gas stations is undeniable

edit: especially the bathrooms, yeah. if i have to pee and its a choice between texaco/711/chevron/whateverthefuck right now and bucees 20 minutes from now, unless im prariedogging im gonna hold out for the bucees 9/10.
