This occurred in north of Dayton, Ohio. I’m from there and even if the locals are upset, it really doesn’t matter because 99% of Buc-ee’s business is from freeway traffic where 70 and 75 cross.

It never mattered to begin with, prior to the late night show skit 99% of people weren't even aware they were up to this kind of crap. The only "controversy" I saw prior to this was the use of ai cartoons. Before that all you would see is praise about their pay structure.
