Buc-ee's Unwritten Rules for the Ultimate Road-Trip Stop

Buc-ee's, the Texas-born travel plaza now expanding across multiple states, operates as an experience rather than a typical gas station: no 18-wheelers, fill up before exploring, and expect 100–120 gas pumps; known for world-class restrooms, Beaver Nuggets and BBQ, with other treats like fudge and jerky; refills aren’t free and using your own cup isn’t encouraged, and overnight parking isn’t allowed, so plan a quick visit rather than an extended stay.

Oregon Union Fights to Reinstate Ban on Self-Serve Gas in Effort to Protect Environment

United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 555, a major labor union in Oregon, has submitted an initiative to reinstate a ban on self-service fueling in the state. If the union can collect enough signatures by July, the issue will be decided by voters in November 2024. UFCW argues that self-serve gas has led to job losses, reduced accessibility, and increased safety risks, with the only beneficiaries being oil companies. The proposal would require gas station attendants at every station in the state, eliminating the previous system that allowed self-serve fueling in some rural areas. Supporters of self-service fueling view the union's attempt as a misguided power grab.
