For a town celebrated for its charm, I expected this bakery to embody the same warmth…read more As a first-time visitor and tourist, I naturally had questions about the bakery's history and the pastries they're known for. The woman who appeared to be the bakery manager, working around 8:15 a.m., answered every question with an attitude that felt forced, dismissive, and unwelcoming. When someone says, "This is my first time here," it's usually an opportunity to create a memorable experience--not make them feel like they're interrupting your morning. I won't be rating the bakery's famous pigs in a blanket because, to me, hospitality is part of the product. Outstanding customer service can elevate good food to a great experience. Without it, even the town's signature pastry loses some of its appeal.

There's tons of parking and lots of pumps. I was traveling with my baby for the first time so having space away from everyone while we settled into what we needed to do was perfect. We grabbed the very last pump and no one was near us, which let us take our time. The bathrooms are large and we used a big handicap stall which had a changing table AND sink in it. It would be helpful if they had a sign noting that as it's very much a family stall (not just handicap) Overall a good Buc-ee's and a great stop

I was like, "Um, ok, what's that about?" I got home and looked it up. I found out it was Texan company. Then I decided I wanted to visit the biggest Buc-ee's in the Lone Star State. We landed in San Antonio and rented a car. Thankfully it didn't have a California license plate. We drove to Luling on our way to Austin. We pulled into the Buc-ee's parking lot. We saw the gas prices. Gas in Texas is more affordable than Washington State. Took a photo with the metal critter in front of the entrance then made our way into the store. Spacious, busy. Bathroom was clean. We picked up some brisket sandwiches and some sodas. Food is more affordable in Texas. We also bought some souvenirs to take back home including a red shirt with the beaver.

I had no engagement with staff while in the store so can't comment on that bit. I took a Waymo so can't comment on parking either but I was a little confused at first by the different set up here. They have 2 stories! So if you're looking for something and don't see it on the first floor, head up the stairs and it'll probably be there. They do have an elevator, as well, if needed. By the registers, they have 3 Self Checkouts for easy self-serve shopping. One staff was monitoring the operations but it was a seamless experience for me. You just gotta keep in mind you are downtown so you may encounter unhomed people and all that comes with that.

It's easy to access off the feeder, and the parking lot is laid out in a way that helps reduce traffic. The mcdonalda here has its own drivethrough. It also has a big seating area and several ordering screens so you don't get stuck in a line. The restrooms are spacious and clean. I wish they had paper towels in addition to the air dryers but unfortunately they don't. The convenience store has all the usual things and some extra gift shopping items. They do now have electric car chargers ! However, they could use more gas pumps. They have a reasonable amount but here (more than other places) people will leave their car parked in a spot to go inside and there's often a wait. One of my favorite things (as someone who travels with dogs) is they have a lot of nice grassy areas not directly on the busy feeder road.

They charge 8$ for showers and the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting and they never have towels…read more I highly don't recommend.

Texas One Stop Of La Grange

Yesterday had been a really busy day so we decided to grab some food from Texas One Stop in La…read moreGrange. I usually go in there to buy their baked goods, which are pretty hit and miss. They have very clean bathrooms and a nice area with tables inside if you want to stay and eat. They have a decent selection of drinks and snacks, and lots of clothing and boots for sale. But this time, we decided instead of a quick sandwich we would go ahead and order barbecue plates. Their prices are fairly inexpensive for barbecue and I think that's because they are not out back cooking on the pit all day. But the brisket and chicken were fair, made much better by their sauce. I liked the potato salad and I loved the green beans. I think the brisket sandwich is better than the brisket plate, so that's what I will go back to.

While in this store last night (December 14) I witnessed an employee being followed around by a female in pajamas smoking cigarettes.. As he emptied the garbage out of a black pick up truck the female in Pajamas was talking very loudly.. She continued to follow him around the store and was basically making a scene.. The poor guy looked like he was trying to do his job, but the girl was making it difficult.. She continued to smoke cigarettes and talk to him as he walked in and out of the store. I am pretty sure the female was an employee off duty because she walked behind the counter and she was talking to other employees on duty.. I usually come to this Location on my way home from Victoria.. The employee being followed by the girl in Pajamas is usually very friendly.. Tonight you could see he was annoyed and upset.. I guess this is why places of business don't allow employees to have relationships.. I will stop in and give them another chance!! Pilot is for sure the number one place to get gas and snacks on the way to visit my mother in the nursing home.. I hope you can get your employees under control.. "office romances" hurt companies.. Why would anyone be in A gas station in the middle of the night arguing with their husband/boyfriend In pajamas.. Poor guy he really looked embarrassed.. read more

She doesn't realize that her tone and mannerisms are important especially in the realm of business. The way you talk to people, how you talk to them, and your interaction with them are very important. You treated my family and I terribly. This took place at approximately 2:38 p.m. on 3/15/2019. Don't be looking at us acting like we are going to steal and also speaking to us in a condescending manner. I really hope you grow up and hope that you grow in professionalism because you really need it. Otherwise this gas station will get famous for being ill-mannered, then you'll never thrive. I highly recommend any and everybody avoid this gas station. I'll never ever spend another penny at this location. I'd rather run out of gas and walk than have another similar encounter. If you hate your job, just quit. It's as simple as that.
