I literally just went to a Buc-ees for the first time this weekend. I wasn’t expecting much but genuinely blew me away. It is like a grocery store sized gas station store with hundreds of gas pumps and clean bathrooms. They have greeters and give away free samples like Costco.
All the employees are super nice (prob cause they get paid well).
My Dad decided to retire from the company he worked for 15 years (he was a crane operator/supervisor) and decided that the new Buc-cees that was like a 5 minute drive from his house would be a good job. I don't remember what he made at the other job but Buc-cees paid gave him $24 an hour (which was a pay decrease from his other job but was much closer and cheaper on gas/vehicle wear and tear) to work maintenance in the carwash. By the time I talked to him to ask him how he liked it he had already quit and found a much better job, paying more.
He gave me some insight into Buc-cees:
They will fire you on the spot if you use you cellphone. He told me that they had the maintenance guys go rent cars for the day to repeatedly drive through the carwash for "reasons." They drove the cars through the car wash for hours and one guy decided to check his phone while being pulled through he carwash. He was fired within 10 minutes, there were over 30 cameras inside the carwash.
Buc-cees has an insane turnover rate and you can't sign up for 401k until you have been there a year. They are big into saying no experience necessary because they go through so many people.
He was told that he would probably have to work 3rd shift because maintenance couldn't really be done during regular hours. My dad was fine with this because he was used to it and did it for years. When he started they said his schedule would actually be day shift on Mondays and Tuesdays, 2nd shift on Wednesdays, off Thursday and 3rd shift on Friday and Saturday. This was the main factor that cause him to quit.
Note this Buc-cees is in North Alabama so pay may vary from what is advertised in the picture

I’m looking at the 6% 401k match @ 100%. That’s solid.
