Total enshitification!  It is a farm and we are the crop.

Quote from: K-Dog on Dec 21, 2024, 10:41 AMI never heard of Buc-ee's, and life would have been fine if I never had.

Probably. But when you start seeing the beaver marketing materials on shirts, hats and flags flying from the radio mast of cars, you'll know what it is!

They do have damn fine beef jerky, in more flavors and varieties than I've ever heard of before. The wife collected me about 4 or 5 small sample bags for taste testing.

Anchorage probably doesn't have enough population, these places have about as large a footprint as a large newer Walmart.

One way of thinking about it. Arguably plenty of businesses like that qualify. Museums for example. Bring in the sightseers and sell them hats and tee-shirts. Roswell has a great one on the aliens.
