Political Memes

Isn't Buc-ees the company that's suing small businesses over cartoon logos they've had since before Buc-ees existed?

I'll never step foot in one.

I remember when Buc-ees came to my state and everyone went “Hell, yeah, I’ll work at a gas station for $22/hr!” Pretty soon, word got around that you’re not even supposed to sit on your breaks. The people enthusiastically screaming “Fresh brisket on the board!!” Rapidly gave way to a tone that said “I am contractually obligated to say ‘Fresh brisket on the board’ at an at least mildly elevated volume.”

Still, I’m surprised by this story. The pay made a hell of a first impression, and the sitting thing made me think some kind of weird religious kink, but overtly political messaging was not something I expected. I’m just so used to “Fuckin’ burger-flippers want $15 an hour, you b’lieve ‘at?!” that Republicans never crossed my mind.

So small businesses in blue states with beavers as part of their logo won't have to worry about getting sued? Sounds good to me.

Well I guess I'm boycotting that business too except to use the restroom because let's face it, they're cleaner than most any other business.

Wear your politics on your sleeve and I'll vote with my wallet.

Now, if we could only get a dozen other companies to take the same stance.

For instance, Chick-fil-A outlets, to me, only occupy space and feed junk food to my neighbors. Given the Christian nationalist stance of their upper management and support of anti-LGBT+ activism, they're really not a good fit for California.

Or any state that respects its own public.

Is it really a bad thing that a company that decides to be political, will for political reasons cut themselves out from around 50% of the market?

I only wish more Fascists torpedoed themselves like that.

Lol, these companies are so lost.

More small businesses is great!

Bucees is actually suing a bunch of small businesses for using any logo with a beaver right now. It's super fucked up. Fuck them.

Buc-ee's ain't nothing but a tacky 30 year too late knock-off of Sheetz but with worse ownership.

Whatever, Buc. Fuck you too.

"I just need some shit I could get at 7eleven, but I really want the inconvenience of an old fashioned trip to the mall. I know... Sheetz! Or Bucees! Or Pilot! Or FlyingJ!

"Business-friendly" doesn't really sound like them at all after seeing that John Oliver episode on them attacking tons of other businesses over logos.

As much as I did want to visit one someday just to try a few things I dont think I will he going out of my way if the chance does arise. Also announcing your political allignment should be a death sentance for any company... nobody wants to know this info.

republicans and culture dont mix, they would rather wage war on culture.

What do you mean? My red state has a giant horseshoe and.....a couple theme parks I think?

Yeah, America is going the sh*^#er. And it’s all because of the communists complaining about minimum wages, bathroom breaks and company health insurance.

/s obviously

Only the states that let them bully small businesses into bankruptcy.

As someone in a blue state, am I missing anything from then not being here?

Oh no! No giant gas station!? I'll have to make do with my locally run book stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and farmers markets! How will I live?!

Isn't buc-ees doing the cultural barrier?
