Only in America would they turn a gas station into a superstore with the parking lot the size of a small town.
First time I went to the US as an adult, I was shocked. When I stopped at a gas station to fill up the rental car, I noticed they sold beer at the gas station. And it was on sale. My norwegian mind almost exploded
You did not have to go that far away to find that. The gas station is where a lot of Germans get their beer on Sundays, too.
Every American should go to a Bucees at least once in their lifetime. It's like a distillation of the intersection of what people in Europe think America is and how Americans also perceive their own nation.
