You make it sound like Carowinds or something...its a (very big) gas station.

The Dissenter used that phrase. I was just quoting, hence the quote in my post #200.

It's about 20 miles away in Florence, SC.

A Buc-ee's Sunset in Florence, SC from yesterday evening (8-13-22).
I always stop if I'm near one.

Look at all of that Ethanol free gas!

Their BBQ is delicious.

Orange County won't let Buc-ee's develop that land in Efland, but I bet they'd allow an equally massive Tesla supercharger site to be built without a second thought.

Sheetz sure need some competition because they really are dropping the ball with their late night food service. I dropped in to the location on highway 751 in Durham, placed an order for some chicken wings, and 30 minutes later they hadn't even started the order. I would estimate at least 20 people waiting in the store for food with only two people working. Not only that, but they clearly had mobile orders that were just sitting out and not being picked up. I had to cancel my order entirely and get a refund.
