To the owners,
Like many Texans and Texas road travelers, Buc-ee's has quickly become a roadside tradition for me. It's a must-stop any time I pass by one of the flagship stores. Even when I don't buy something other than a sandwich and a drink, I love to go in, rest my eyes from the road and just look at all of the quirky items they have on display. And of course, SUCH CLEAN BATHROOMS... I mean it boggles the mind!!
Which is why it especially pains me to say that I am joining Congressman Joaquin Castro in his boycott of your stores. This is not because of the store itself, but because of Arch Aplin III and Don Wasek's support of State Senator Dan Patrick for Lt. Governor of Texas. His shameful comments about immigrants and the LGBT community are not becoming of a true Texas institution, and I do not want my hard-earned Texas dollars going to support someone so demeaning to the diversity of his constituents. I look forward to the day when Buc-ee's leadership decries those comments, but until then, you will not see me in a Buc-ee's store.
Sincerely,
(Texas Leftist)
