you can\u2019t be mad at Target employees on Black Friday for them succumbing to chaos, because to anyone who\u2019s ever been to a Buc-ee\u2019s can probably attest that it was like a mini-Black Friday to them as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Needless to say, the Better Business Bureau acting on the reactions of idiot customers makes them come off looking like jealous fatties for rating a successful operation like Buc-ee\u2019s with an F.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a great example comparison because I\u2019m actually on Buc-ee\u2019s side on this one, but it\u2019s like Buc-ee\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/A25EUhZGBws?t=330\">is the asshole CDO Manager from <em>The Big Short<\/em><\/a> who was played by the guy who played Ryu in the Van Damme <em>Street Fighter<\/em>, and the BBB is Mark Baum, but their debate concludes with Buc-ee\u2019s arrogantly offering to compare bank accounts, and see who the world favors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Buc-ee\u2019s is out there printing money, minding their own business, and sure, they\u2019re not a perfect company, but neither are their customers.\u00a0 The BBB can fuck right on out of here, coming at Buc-ee\u2019s like this, but I guess there\u2019s little other way to try and be relevant than going at businesses more successful than they are.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USA Today: The Better Business Bureau gives Buc-ee\u2019s an F rating, primarily due to their lack of response from customer feedback When I first saw the headline of the BBB giving Buc-ee\u2019s an F, my knee-jerk reaction was something along the lines of, what inane bullshit reason can there be for the BBB to give &hellip;
