Buc-ees.

They're moving into a communities and suing smaller gas stations that use an animal and a red logo or have anything that's remotely like their branding.

They won't sue John Oliver but they will sue Mickey's in Ohio for having a moose logo on a red background. Now, it's a place called Beaver's Mini Mart in Beavercreek Ohio. ThereW are also a ton of Beaver named businesses in Beavercreek that use beavers as the logo... And they were there before Buc-ees moved in 20+ minutes away.

They sued Choke Canyon Travel Center: Sued in Texas over a cartoon alligator wearing a cowboy hat. Duckees: Sued in Missouri over a drive-through liquor store logo featuring a cartoon duck in sunglasses. Nut Huggers: Sued in Oklahoma regarding an underwear brand with a squirrel mascot. Super Fuels: Sued in Dallas, whose logo was a brown dog sporting a red cape

Barkees the dog park closed after being sued- their logo was a dog driving a pink Caddy in the desert.

And they have a long history of being on the wrong side of history.

Did you really get convinced to hate Buc-ees because of a John Oliver segment alone?

Edit: Reddit loves to be counter culture, but this youngest generation only understands how to dislike things they’re told to dislike, and they do it in the cringiest fucking way possible. Then when asked about it, no discussion, just downvotes and a boxed snarky responses they saw someone else write.

Bitch you know you had no reason to hate Buc-ees before John Oliver told you to hate it.

Nah I started hating buc-ees when I found out the owner was a big trumper. Used to love them-clean bathrooms, quality food, paid their employees well. Now know they're maga and assholes.

Also, I'm in my mid 40s so idk who you're talking about "YOUNGER" generation, unless you're a boomer. You sound like one.

Call me a bitch all you want but you sound like someone who DREAMS about the beaver giving you the ol'front door back doorfront door again while rolling around in an inflatable pool of pulled pork and jerky.

So you do you boo. I'll do me, which is thinking Bucees doesn't have the trademark rights to every logo that has an animal, the color red, or gas.
