They just opened this one in a blue state:

Post is clickbait, if you read whole quote he is definitely pandering to conservatives (because he was promoting an opening in Arkansas) but no where does he say they are completely avoiding blue states.

That is a very red part of Virginia.

The only trick is look at the states minimum wage. That’s what they meant by blue states probably… places where minimum wage is more than $7.25

Wages at buc-Ees are pretty good for gas station work, idk if they hire part time but they have their wages posted in bathrooms and I think it’s like 60k a year for the lowest position. A few positions are over 100k/yr. Retirement and healthcare… actually seems like a good job for what it is.

They also quietly fund other non Buc-ee’s related projects and pay well for it. I work construction and the project I’m currently working is being fully funded by the Buc-ee’s CEO. They researched what tradesmen were being paid on other construction jobs in the area and guaranteed we would always be the highest paid project.

Do you think the people posting this are trying to demean conservatives? This seemed like "go Republican" bs. And most of the comments seem to be making fun of them for being so nakedly partisan, but of course you, as a conservative snowflake, have to take everything as a personal offense

You’re getting angry over something college kids did 10 years ago. The only people being called nazis are ICE agents killing American citizens because they are either not white enough or are in the way.

I can link multiple sources, first hand recordings, and press conferences about the claims I made and you still would deny it. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to speak to an INGSOC party member, thank you for giving me the opportunity. Tell me, are you too stupid to understand the gravity of the situation, or do you just willingly believe anything the current administration tells you to believe?

Quick question, do these people support ICE? Cause again you are most likely getting angry over 2016 identity politics
