Deadend, to risa in Rule of Acquisition #10: Greed is eternal

Hyper capitalist, hyper misogyny, monopolies of business are legal, but unionizing is illegal.

He only wants the space-living because he’s a nerd and wants to create a 0th world, which is to the 1st world is to the 3rd world.

There’s no way DS9’s bathrooms are that clean.

I need a ds9 shirt with a smiling quark in 4xl, please, and let me get a couple dabo tickets while we’re here

I don’t get it (I have no idea what Bucees is).

Buc-ees is a GIANT gas station (like 40 or 80 gas stalls), and convenience store, but is the size of a small department store.

someguy3,

So how does that relate to DS9?

DS9 is a giant (gas) station with a lot of shops

mosiacmango,

Buccee’s is apprently pretty shitty to their employees, so it’s more like DS9 run by Quark.

shalafi,

Pay and benefits are awesome. After my wife got the list of rules? "Babe. Do NOT take that job."

  • Late by 30 seconds, fired 3rd time, no exceptions. (This is in the middle of nowhere on the interstate. She would have to show up 40 minutes early to ensure no traffic issues.)
  • Can’t enter the store before your shift.
  • Can’t leave the store during your shift.
  • You must take a particular path to go to the breakroom.
  • You cannot go outside.
  • If anyone spots a tat on your flesh? Fired instantly.

There’s more I’m forgetting. This place thinks because of the good pay and benefits that they own you soul.

FYI not every bucees is the size of a department store, although most of the ones they’ve been building along interstates over the past 10-15 years definitely are.

There are plenty, especially near Lake Jackson where they are headquartered, that are the size of a regular gas station.

It’s someone answering the question, “What if a gas station were the side of a small Wal-Mart and had promenade vibes?”

They sell everything in the middle of nowhere. They make fresh fudge and candies. They sell gas. The bathrooms are always clean. Their logo is an anthropomorphized beaver in a hat. It’s glorious.

Wouldn’t the time travelers try to fit in so they do not disturb the culture?

badaboomxx,

You… haven’t… seen… star… trek… my friend?

Wogi,

Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don’t. Rules vary as frequently as episode to episode.

DS9 does need more beef jerky scenes.

Now I’m going to hum the DS9 credits to myself every time I walk into a Buc-ees.

shalafi,

After my wife got a job there and we heard all the abusive policies, she bailed. I’ll never set foot in one again.

I’ve never been to a ren fair in my life but I can feel it in my bones that this is one of those eyeroll inducing things where a million of people have done it but they all think they’re the first.

Same probably goes for Doctor Who.

Moneo,

All I’ve got left is my bones

It’s not about the first, it’s about the best.

EncryptKeeper, (edited )

I mean it kinda seems like there’s exactly one way to do it. They’re not elaborate costumes by any means, and they’re uniforms so you can’t exactly get creative with it.

Not with the costumes maybe, but with the acting, you definitely can.

KredeSeraf,

Apparently it’s pretty common for ren fair people to wear a starfleet badge hidden somewhere and if this happens pull them aside in character, subtly show the badge and rip into them for violating the prime directive.
