Grabbed what seemed to be the last couple of Gatorades. The clerk said the same thing to me and I laughed. I then realized to ask why where there no more and he said they are not going to carry them or Dr. Pepper anymore.

I found that odd. Restaurants do similar practices but convenience stores??

I find it unfathomable that they wouldn't carry Dr. Pepper

Yeah that doesn't sound right. I'm not sure I'd take the word of a clerk on that one.

Probably made a deal with Pepsi like every other big place around here does which makes no damn sense.

No one drinks Pepsi here.

Pepsi owns Gatorade so that seems unlikely.

Forgot to mention it was the location on Mueshke. And I didn't see any DPamd I grabbed the last 3 Gatorades from the bottom of the cooler. Tons of Body Armour.

They seem pretty aggressive with their vendors. For example, it's the only convenience store in world where I have to "search" for Diet Coke.

Buc-ees doesn't have a good drink selection. Many more "regular" gas stations have them beat in terms of variety.

False, they are the gold standard of drink selections

Hardly any diet teas, lacks variety of flavored sodas in bottles (Vanilla/Cherry Coke zero etc).

False. Yes they have a large variety of fountain drinks but if you want something in a bottle, Buc-ees is pretty terrible

Sounds like they're going to **** up a pretty good thing by taking the Wal Mart approach. I don't go to Buc EEs worried about a dime on a bottle of water or tea but if you don't carry the right tea I won't go at all. There's lots of places to get gas and "it's Buc EEs" only goes so far when they don't carry what you want. Like the huge clean bathrooms but I'm a man with time in the infantry so I can pee anywhere. If they stop carrying the drinks we all want because of contracts or pricing issues I'll just stop somewhere else. It'll be interesting to see where they go.

Pepsi doesn't exclude DP, only Coke products.
And as someone else stated, they own Gatorade.

You're fighting a losing battle. No one cares. Best to admit defeat.

Buccee's is the most overrated, tourist trap phenom I've seen since the carnies set up their annual death rides in the parking lot of my local TG&Y back in the early '80s.

Truth. The couple of locations that are close to me, there is only one Diet Coke fountain at each, when other brands have several. It's almost like they feel like they have to have at least one, but they're not going to push Diet Coke.

Buccees has ethanol free gas and a great car wash. I rarely go inside.

If you can get to it. The Buccees we drive by has had a line of cars up the highway access road to get in every time we've ever driven by it.

Idiocy. I'll gladly go to the Love's across the street and save myself an hour.

Thankfully the Buccees near me doesn't have that problem. It's always an easy in and out. On a nice day following a handful of rainy days the car wash might take an extra 5 or 10 minutes tho.

If you make me choose loyalty to Buc EEs over loyalty to my source of caffeine I'm choosing the caffeine source. Don't tell me you'd change tea or coffee just to shop at Buc EEs cause I'm calling BS on that!

I stop at buc res for clean toilets and their food/snacks. Don't really care about drink selection tbh

Yeah, might be a losing battle, but I believe in accuracy over normalization.

I do concur that the whole place is an overrated citadel to the Walmart revelers of trailer park humanity.

I interviewed with them for a Financial Analyst role a few years ago. Turned out it was to support their buyers, and the word negotiations came up 20x. The job would have been doing cost analysis in real-time while they were on the phone negotiating with vendors. Seemed intense.

I hear you. I posted that more so because my opinion of Buccee's is generally a losing battle on TA. People defend it like it's their first born. I was virtually stoned on Premium one day because I had the nerve to say it was overrated and didn't understand the fascination to a freaking gas station.
