I just saw where Good n Quick in Nevada has closed and will become a Casey's. They had great chicken!!
Mega Mart coming to Des Moines area

Thats too bad. Wonder if they were just creeping up there in age? Chicken was good.
It’s probably harder than ever being a small independent gas station with the large chains.
Most of the places I have seen two Casey's really close one wasn't a Casey's to start and sold to Casey's. Sometimes that purchased one just gets a refresh to make it more Casey's and sometimes that purchased one gets bulldozed and made as a new Casey's.
As much as people complain, the old ones make money, and if it is making money without being new, why make it new.
Not sure why all the hating on Buc-ees, they pay a very good wage, unlike Casey's and others, many starting over $20 an hour plus benefits. As others have stated the restrooms are large to handle a lot of people and cleaner than the one in your house. They have a full time attendant in each that does nothing but clean it all day long. Very good brisket sandwiches, and baked goods. Last one we were at in Georgia I counted over 200 stalls to gas up your vehicle. They also do not allow semi's on their property, even the gas tanks are off site and they refill them there and it's pumped down to the station underground. They can be a little overwhelming the first time you stop, but it's well worth it. Just to see the entire operation if for nothing else.
Buc-ee’s has been advertising how much it pays its staff. It’s a lot.
In numerous social media posts in recent months, customers and employees of the popular retailer have shared its salaries and hourly wages.www.hrdive.com
I just honestly don’t get it. It’s a gas station and when I’ve gone the waits have been terrible. I’ve only been there once and I’ll never go back.
Did you mean 25 miles? Going 250 miles out of the way when you were low on gas anyway doesn’t seem to make sense…
It was 250, the out of gas comment was a joke. I’ve been happily married for 46 years, she reallly wanted to go to Buc-ees for the first time. After 46 years, not much left to give for gifts so you improvise. We were on our way to NE Arkansas so I made a detour to Springfield Mo.
And choices like this are why you’ve made it 46 years. Congratulations.
For anyone that thinks that's fun or cool, think about this...
That is the same as wearing a WalMart, HyVee or Casey's shirt.
And if you want to say, but it's a destination, it's no different than wearing an I80 Truck Stop shirt.
I feel like this confirms the Idiocracy is upon us. I mean, there are lots of things happening these days that confirm it but this one feels significant. The Disneyland of gas stations...
Get the Mudflap app on your phone and save a lot more and you can pay at the pump. Paid $3.08 this week when posted price was $3.50 / gallon.
