I once got a bicycle for real cheap there because the clerk said the brake was permanently stuck on. I paid $45 for it and nudged the calipers back on straight and it was fine. To your point, useless staff.

Skims seems easy to avoid.

They are everywhere. They even have a store on M Street in the old Intermix.

And honestly some of their stuff does look cool. Those lounge sets looked comfy. I just refuse to give a Kardashian my money.


wow, i never heard of them before, but I'm also not the target audience. they'll go bust soon anyway -- seems like a PE-over-hyped pile of garbage.

Anything from Hobby Lobby. Too many stolen religious artifacts and they don't treat their employees well.

I just can't eat most fast food now, and it's really expensive anyhow, so stay far away from most.fast food chains.

Buc'ee's and PP is missing out Buc'ee's is the place to be.

It's like the Costco of gas stations. They have good food, household goods, clothes, gardening stuff, everything. They are a southern thing.

You're throwing up red flags right and left... why would I buy clothes at the gas station?


you just have to go and experience it. I'm not asking you to buy a damn t-shirt. FFS


You really don’t. It’s not that exciting.


I wouldn't be opposed to getting gas there if the price is right, but I can't see myself doing clothes shopping there.

yeah, i think there's usually a mother store that has a bakery and they make them there. At the one I worked at, like 30 years ago, we got them shipped in, but we frosted or decorated them in-shop.

Kind of a weird tone to take with someone you don't know.

I think they mean Buc-ee's:

https://buc-ees.com/

There is one opening next year in southern VA, about a 90 min drive from DC. Peopel will be making the sojourn there.


Oh, the really big gas station? What's the appeal? I feel like I know people who have complained about getting their credit card numbers stolen there...


Yeah, that never happens at other gas stations.


I'm just saying it's the only thing I've ever heard about it... genuinely, what's the appeal?
