When Adam Armour and his family stepped into a Buc-ee's in Alabama while on a recent road trip, they likened it to a nightmare.
Throngs of customers — roughly 17,000 people by his exaggerated estimate — were snatching up gas, hunting supplies and barbecue at the Buc-ee's in Leeds, Alabama, on that day.After walking into the gas station, Armour’s wife, Mandy, said: “I just stepped into my nightmare.”
Inside and outside, “people seemed to move about the store with no sense of purpose other than to create anarchy,” Armour wrote. Armour said he would have turned around but stayed because his family had already traversed roughly 153 miles to specifically visit the Buc-ee's in Alabama. It was a “why-the-heck-not” day trip on a Sunday afternoon, he wrote.
