Early day. Long day. Hot day. If you're driving along TN Hwy and feeling parched because you…read moredropped / spilled / forgot your cup of ice, learned (painfully) the metal water bottle is hotter than the pavement outside, the a/c is not working well, the car spews waves of heat into the air as it gasps on the last drops of gas fumes in the tank, and now you're hallucinating palm trees, coconuts and umbrella drinks on every broken stripe on the highway, take heart. Around the next bend is Shady's. Shady's is a standard convenience store/gas station. It's a little drab on the inside, but the people who work here are pretty awesome and that brightens it up. The a/c functions (I think), the beverage coolers are well stocked with every type of liquid refreshment, there are plenty of snacks, the gas pumps work, and the stray cats outside begging for food are really good at it. The day I stopped in, Shady's air conditioning wasn't working and the employee was sitting outside in the shade; but compared with the inside of my car, I could have been at the north pole. The cold water numbed my frustration, but then so did the friendly employee who apologized for the lack of air conditioning and then spent time commiserating. I don't know though, she only might have been pretending empathy once I started talking about the umbrella drinks in the middle of the highway.

They never have any food cooked. Before lunch, at lunch or after lunch it's the same story. No food…read moreprepared. When you ask the cook, When are you going to have more chicken up? "Well, we have some cooking , but it's already sold" WTH? I don't care when you come in there, they never have anything fixed and the employees are idiots. Go somewhere else.

We returned to Buc-ee's on a Friday evening. It wasn't crowded. We walked down every aisle, saw…read moreevery wall and display. The only detail that could have made the visit richer was if the mascot had walked by. The blow up Buc-cees decoration was festive at the front entrance. The famous bathroom was spotless. Hubby enjoyed a brisket sandwich. I still adore the banana pudding. The holiday items are out in full force. It would be fun to sit in on the branding sessions. My favorite item purchased is the waterproof phone pouch (with snaps- not the pesty plastic top with tabs). There are lots of new items since my last visit. It looks like Homegoods, Nordstrom, Bass Pro Shop, It's Sugar, Pottery Barn, Dollywood & Crate and Barrel had a shopping summit.

I did not wake up today knowing I'd be leaving a one star rating at a beloved American institution…read more Long road trip and I just wanted a banana - something fresh to cleanse my pallet, instead of salty or sugary. Knew that we were going to stop at Buc-ee's, bc of course. They have a basket of bananas, and I picked a pristine one if not *slightly* green at the neck. Check out. $0.55. We walked 45 feet out the adjacent exit and ate the banana right outside the slider door so I didn't have to have an empty banana peel stuffed somewhere in the car for the next several hours. It was black to the core on the inside halfway down the banana, like the kind of black you don't keep eating, not just a surface bruise. Since it was clearly bad and it was ONE MINUTE after I bought the banana, I figured they'd be like - no problem, we'll make it right, it's a $0.55 banana. So we walked right back to the same cashier who had sold us that single banana one minute prior and showed him the black banana and asked if I could just get a replacement banana and he said it was too late. One minute, black banana, same guy. $0.55! So yeah, that's absolutely nuts. Do better, Buc-ees. That's really messed up. I was really looking forward to a banana.
