    The only reason I stop at Buc-ees when I’m driving past is because they actually clean the bathrooms. Worst part of many road trips is stopping at normal gas stations where the bathroom hasn’t been touched by a cleaning product in a very long time.

      Exactly.

      It’s always an unknown factor at other places. Some of them you feel like you are taking your life in your own hands.

      But Buc-ees is always a guaranteed a clean experience.

      Their entire business model is build around a Clean Bathroom, literally everything else is just there because you wanted to not have to worry about sanitation

      I dunno’ what the problem is. You cannot get syphilis if it’s just your piss hitting the toilet and surrounding area.

        Pretty sure the whole idea of getting an STD from toilet seats is just people cheating and blaming a random toilet as an excuse.

          It was a big scare in the 80s and 90s. People were spreading rumors that you could get HIV from the toilet seat after merely using the toilet after someone with AIDS, no bodily fluid exchange necessary. I was taught that in fifth grade health. We had a guest teacher the first day. The second and third days, we did not have a guest teacher, we had the vice principal. Someone else had also told the administration that bullshit we had been taught and the guest teacher was dismissed.

          So like, I don’t know what the rumors were in the 70s, but in the late 80s it was AIDS.
