Ok, if u follow me then you know I drive Motorcoach's for a living, all over the world.Prior to a few days ago, I loved me some Bucee's.Once, I brought a customize sandwich from Bucee's as a Professional Motorcoach Operator, I do not eat while driving so I usually wait to where we're going to eat. I got to my destination and my customized sandwich had mayonnaise on it, eww. Well I saved my receipt to bring it to the attention of management which was on our way back same location. When I spoke to a manager, her expression and response was "Oh well, so sad" Strike 1. Bucee's does not Comp bus drivers $.79 drink, strike 2. When I inquired about this, I was told their drinks was already cheap so NO they do not complementary bus drivers drinks although we bring bus loads. A few days ago, I purchased a cross from their Madisonville location. Now again, if u follow me I've started to collect crosses, instead of magnets since I already owned every state except Canada and Florida :) I had purchased the wooden cross you see in my picture @ the Madisonville location, it had GRACE across it. When I brought it, the clerk simply put it in a plastic Bucee's bag instead of wrapping it in newspaper like they usually do. I didn't think nothing of it until I got home and noticed that some of letters broke in transit, I was really disappointed. No problem I thought, I'll just stop at a Bucee's and exchange it. My next trip out 3 days later, I passed by the 290 Waller/ Prairie View A.M. College location. I spoke to Sinoris, the manager on duty that morning, I explained to her I'm a Charter Bus Driver and that I'm a fan of Bucee's and that I frequently bring my charted guests to Buckees. I further explained, I collect crosses from all over the world and now I'm on the mission to buy all the different ones they carry. I presented the damaged cross and explained how it was damaged by the time I got home. Ms. Sinoris, with her stank attitude stated that it is store policy not to accept ANY damaged items that the store could not resale. Flabbergasted, I tried to explain to Ms Manager, how much money I spend at the Bucee's chain and attempted to show her my pictures so she could see I'm not trying to get over and how proud I was of my collection. Ms. Thang, tells me I can go on Bucee's dot com and complain. Absolutely, I got in my bus went on Bucee's dot com and all that's was there is a website with no number to contact a live person. Ms. Sinoris, knew this, that's why her attitude was so "Matter of factly", strike 3!
See luckily, I said my prayers and read my Bible before I left home that morning. God reminded me that if I don't respond in the flesh and overcome evil with good HE would give me double for my troubles. Now, that message was clear to a Christian like myself, so I'll whip Bucee's with my platform! See, check this out. I'm the Captain of my ship (motorcoach), so I have great influence on where my passengers/bus stop at and where they spend their $$$.So, since I ALWAYS NEED to use the restroom, I can stop anywhere I can pull that motorcoach into. 9 times out of 10 my passengers will choose to make 1 stop, the stop I choose. When and where I choose to stop, they may or may not want to stop at Bucee's still. The Pilot, Loves, Whataburger, McDonalds, Chick fil A's, just to name a few luvs when we bring buses, they will comp our meals and or drinks, they too have clean restrooms and Fan Fav's as well. Ok, now let's hope, I've said my prayers that day, read my Bible AND in a good mood and choose to receive double for my troubles AND not go into Bucee's AND order $25 worth of customized food from each kiosk that's available AND not pick them up! And do this ALL year long!Now that would be childish and hilarious! I WILL NOT allow Bucee's to further disrespect my $$$ and the $$$ I bring to their stores. It's by God's Grace that I'm here today! I'm a VIP driver for my employer, so I have custody and control over the fuel card that's assigned to me, I buy $200-$500 in diesel fuel at a time which I will no longer do at Bucee's!The Spirit spoke to me after I left there and you know what he reminded me of? How Jesus died on the cross for broken and wounded people AND that the base, the foundation is still strong/there! So yes, how foolish of me to want to exchange or replace that cross, God doesn't exchange us, he will take us with our brokenness and make us stronger. So yes, that cross belongs on my wall just like the rest of them.
I hope, Christians and people alike who read this review, stand in agreement with me and NOT shop at Bucee's!! Just use their restrooms like me because yes that's all their good for in my book!!Stand for something and not fall for anything!
