Buc-ee's: home to Beaver Nuggets, clean bathrooms and now, the center of frustration for some Texans not too thrilled about the travel giant's newest menu item.
The Big Buckin' Brisket Sandwich XXL was recently unveiled at the New Braunfels location, MySanAntonio reports, but fans are completely baffled by the price, $13. In a Facebook post in a group called "Everything New Braunfels Texas," one local resident shared his distaste with the jacked up prices.
"I support just about everything Buc-ees, but this is insanity! Their sandwiches are sub par to begin with. Look at the price before you grab something from the hot rack, I think they go up weekly. I guess if it works… but wow," he wrote alongside a photo of the sandwich that has a price tag of $12.99. Other users in the comments weren't that shocked since it's technically twice the meat.
"1st is a XXL sandwich. Twice the size of a regular. 2nd. Bucees is a tourist trap. That's what it's made for. Not to support the local community, but to make as much profit from the hwy traffic as possible. Not surprising," one user said.
"XXL = TWO six dollar sandwiches," said another.
