Complain to Buc-ee's

[Ibleedgreen]

I stopped in at the new Buc-ees at 114 and 35W this afternoon, thinking they would likely have some cool UNT apparel or gear since they are so close to Denton. Nope! Nary an item. Big display shelves of UT Austin, Texas A&M and TCU merchandise, but nothing UNT-related. This is unacceptable and it is within Denton County. We should complain loudly and often until we are heard.

I avoid Buc-ees like the plague. Don't see the appeal of going to a Walmart sized gas station with a traffic jam of a parking lot.

Cheapest gas around by quite a bit, and Buc-ee Nuggets.  That intersection is a disaster, though.

Cheap gas, and probably more importantly, clean bathrooms. My wife and daughter insist on clean bathrooms...

If you travel from Houston to the DFW area it is one of the few places where my wife and daughters will go to the bathroom. Buc's is awesome. However having no UNT gear should be rectified. Not liking Buc's is un-Texan!

Sadly, taps and caps Denton is the same. They have growlers for all schools in Texas (popular schools) but no north texas. I asked and they said they are working on it. Not going back until they support our school, in our city, if they want our business

Same thing I said on the last Buccees thread.

I live in New Braunfels and Buccees sucks.

Wish I could give this comment 20 up votes.

And I let them know that I wouldn't support them until they supported our city university

went to the one in Lewisville this evening. Same thing. OSU, TU, Tech, A&M. No UNT. Shows how low on the totem pole we are

Shouldn't be hard for Taps and Caps. I found UNT Growlers for sale online.

Not getting Thor's business would bankrupt many a bar.

Wow, I have to try that. Would make a great breakfast this morning!

Buc-ee's has a Twitter account at @bucees. That's a good place to give them some grief for not carrying UNT gear. A lot of companies and organizations make addressing social media pressure a priority.

(Including President Smatresk. He gets a regular report emailed to him about what people are saying about UNT on social media.)

[Green Mean]

Spare and overpriced.  I don't get all the hype and hoopla for that place.

As I now run sound for shows at the Denton location, I gave our manager a good ribbing over it.

They're having to go to seek out new suppliers as none of their current ones have any licensing with UNT. If anything, it's further proof that the school's licensing sucks.

But yeah, I was like, "dude why would you ever display those hideous colors in this town!?"

That was the first thing I noted when I visited the new Buc-ee's. Haven't been back since.

That is a solid idea. Now if I could just get my kids to teach me how to do social media....

I am old shcool. No twitter, no facebook, no snap chat or instagram. This board is my only foray into any type of social media. I don't judge those who do but it isn't my cup of tea.

for some fun, go to the front counter and tell the clerk there that you found the OSU and the TT merchandise.  Where do they keep the North Texas merchandise.  I love it when they get on the PA system looking for somebody that knows.
