I see these a lot. But this place has some pretty awful rules. They are very strict on appearance. Like Mormon standards.

Well, I gotta say, this is not something I expected from an outfit in Texas.

4 weeks minimum in the UK, most companies pay sick leave at full pay for a set number of days, and then if you're still too sick to work 1/2
AbelardSnazz
2/2 ... you get £96.35 p/w Statutory Sick Pay from the government for 28 weeks. And the healthcare to make you better is free.

Local gaming store doesn't pay well but offers a lot of vacation time. They had no problem hiring new employees for opening to the public.
AndrewS816
And let me guess, the food is only marginally more expensive but the owner doesn't drive a Ferrari? Huh... LIES!!!
DreamingOfDistantShores
Seeing this actually makes me want to frequent their establishments. But I don't think there are any around Idaho yet.

Actual benefits or a Pizza Party?
GryphonHunter
I'll buy my own pizza because I could afford it with a real wage
ThisIsTheBestICanDo
Exactly. And then I won’t have to spend my break time eating that pizza with my coworkers. Not really a break then, is it?
giho970205
Is that 15 or 21 days off?
FlatPlutoSociety
15. Paid time off is pretty much always measured in "business" weeks.
Thehoffmiester
New seasons in oregon get 15/hr and probably the best till workers you have ever met. The vegy stockers are very knowledgeable n area clean.
Speedmetal05
The billboard on the way to San Antonio that simply said: "it's a beaver"...

When do we tell them that most European countries have a minimum of at least 20 days

Wtf is a buc-ee's?

God damn I could really go for one of their brisket sandwiches

Beaver theme and progressive employee wages? Oregon?
PrettyRick
Wow, 3 weeks paid vacation? Things are truly different between our continents...
ChocolateChipTheftAuto
I'm 31 and I get 5 weeks payed time-off + other time off benefits in Sweden.

Go Texas
MightyIink
wow, 3 weeks of time off instead of 49 weeks with fair pay, where do I sign up!
IveBeenThings
Everyone google them, I did...get them trending

And they're still in business? Shocking
Spinagatr
Buc-ee’s, HEB, and Whataburger. That is all.
morelikeconsham
whataburger was a sad piece of steamed meat between soggy buns. HEB is great

How do I apply to be the c.e.o.?
mrgriffis714714
Step one: Be a self absorbed psychopath. Step 2: Don't care about anyone else other than yourself even though I think that's covered by ste1

I’m sorry that’s not on the menu
SpaceCheeseBaron
Bucc'ees is common in TX where min wage is still 7.25, in case that wasn't obv.
Silverforte
Anyone who thinks people making minimum wage is happy is a fucking moron
robertkelley5
We're getting at least one in Alabama. It off my route to everywhere I go. My routes will be changing.
georgeted
There’s one on I20 about an hour from Tuscaloosa
robertkelley5
I can't justify that added distance. Tbey are opening one in Athens soon, though.
NoUseForAMoniker
A quick Google search will show you their signs out front. They start at $12 to $14 an hour and go up from there.
TheFeralDog
Old news or different location now start at 14 in every houston location I've seen recently
NotaCPA
it wasn't...looking at this in Canadian, I'm like...ok...not a big deal that's just minimum wage and an extra week off standard..nice
Tesseract09
Canadians only get two weeks? I thought you were more civilized than your southern neighbours?
thevortexmaster
Standard? I figured most companies here just pay out vacation pay each cheque. so like an extra $20 a cheque or something
NotaCPA
no you have to request that, it's normally for seasonal workers to have Vacation Pay paidout each cheque though
thevortexmaster
Definitely normal in restaurants as I've worked in a few and owned one. Now I get time off but my casuals get paid out
NotaCPA
Worked in the accounting department of a few. It's common for a bunch of seasonal tourist dependant industries. Golf, fishing, food service
nanooknono
I have no idea what min wage is in my country, but 2 weeks off is standard? We get 5 weeks plus another 8 statutory days here
NotaCPA
yeah, we have a holidays too, but we just don't include those since everyone gets them paid...mostly
Tesseract09
Who gets 5? Australia gets 4, plus 10 days for personal leave.
nanooknono
UK. Just been changed. 26 days plus 8 bank holidays is what I get and that's fairly normal.
thevortexmaster
What's Buc-ees?
Flageek
walmart sized gas station
thevortexmaster
Ahhh
Imayhavebeenhacked
100 gas pumps and just as many CLEAN toilets. they have staff that clean toilets all day long so they never smell like shit. beaver nuggets
thevortexmaster
That's intense
zomgudead
Those toilets are chugging turds 24/7 and still smell like lysol
sigran
Buc-ee's are the cleanest and largest road trip gas stations in Texas. The newer ones are huge with over 100 gas pumps and fresh/hot food
thevortexmaster
Wow
Timmy79
100 pumps? A busy motorway one in Europe (next one might be 30 miles/50 kilometres away) might have 10; 20 at most. That's amazing
zomgudead
God's gift to texas.
thevortexmaster
I feel like that would be some rain hahaha

When you pay peanuts all you get are monkeys
laboon
Mechwarrior719
And when you get monkeys for employees, you tend to get monkey shit in the workplace
admiralawesome4213
Hey! Us monkeys arent happy about the non living wages too dammit!
isszuSparkleBandit
And elephants surely
BurberryBlessings
That's bananas.
LurkerOfDarkness

KtownBCguy
But monkeys feed the fat elephants and that's just what the corporate overlords want

"When you pay peanuts, you get birdbrains." Better?
CaptainCanadiann
UK here, I get 32 paid days off
Raeilgunne
Same in US, but I work for an international
hillsaregettingsteeper
As a starting employee at a university in Canada, I got 4 weeks paid. As a municipal administrator, I got 6 weeks paid.
Relayu
I get have choice of 35-45 days off, pay is adjusted depending on selection. (Finance / UK).
TheFeralDog
US my old company was 0 in the year you hired on 1 or 0 the next year. (you had to have 90 work days to qualify for vacation) so if you...
TheFeralDog
...hired on oct 2012 you don't get any vacation until 2014, where you get 1 week. 2 in 2015, then you'd get 3 in 2021
TheFeralDog
caps at 4 in 2028...all assuming a oct 2012 start date
Sensiblyinteresting
I get 2 weeks paid time off, not including weekends and the 2 weeks includes sick time...
Sensiblyinteresting
I work for one of the biggest car insurance companies in the US.
NoobsStfu
We excel in other places. Europeans have far lower incomes and pay far higher taxes. More time off, far less money in pocket. Tradeoffs.
nonamegirl888
I also work for one of the biggest insurance company in Canada, 4 weeks vacation, no set # of sick days, plus 2 extra day offs per month
FuckmotheringxVampire
It's weird how you get what you pay for (at least if you are are good judge of character) when it comes to employees
Ozzy98
Honestly, his pay is the same as wendy's here in my area. That only applies to corp owned locations though, and I'm in their home area.
narddogbernard
See, Texas ain't all that bad y'all. We got Buc-ees.
nelsonau
Funny people who can't shut up about the free market don't understand this.
datphone777365
Oh they do, they just think if you repeat yhe same bs over n over it becomes true. Classic rightwing TrumpliCuck grifting.
EatsBees
new job is paying me $20/hr and i get 3 weeks of paid time off a year, which can be rolled over to 5 weeks max the following year. and they
EatsBees
just guaranteed our health insurance premiums wont increase each year
Markamanic
Also, employees who don't have financial stress are less irritable and more productive. Shocker.
TheHappyHermit
Never been there, but pretty sure they don't charge $30 for burgers or $20 for a bag of gummy worms either
PearjuiceATX
Nope, big bag of buccees beaver nuts is like $5, sandwiches/burgers for $4-$7. You can book a shower stall & get a truck wash
PearjuiceATX
It's a road trip stop, for sure
Darpon
I'm in the US, and I get five Goddamn weeks of vacation per year, from the start. My company can do whatever they want to me when they treat
Darpon
me this nicely.
FuckmotheringxVampire
It is really pretty simple, if you give more as an employer, you can expect more from your employees. Unfortunately many employers treat
FuckmotheringxVampire
Their lowest paid workers and the ones with the least incentive to stay as expendable resources.
PearjuiceATX
Every employee at my company has unlimited PTO and sick leave- individual employees get 100% free Healthcare option.
datphone777365
And then act indignant when those same employees treat the job as disposable. Fuckin exploiters lol.
Sensiblyinteresting
Whenever I get bad service at a business I immediately thing "This wouldn't have happened if they where paid more and cared about their job"
VaultGirl69
Relying on tips usd bullshit. I've met cabbies outside the US and they take pride in their jobs.
captbananapants
Even your cab drivers rely on tips? Wtf i thought it was just service staff.
VaultGirl69
Yep. And some delivery drivers. There have been a lot of lawsuits to get Uber and Lyft to provide pay/benefits. It sucks to live here.
UnheardKILLJOY
I need to start thinking about it this way, such a good way to frame it. Up until the pandemic my thought process was the opposite.

Buc-ee’s is the happiest place on earth.

how the fuck do they get more paid time off than i do, I need to talk to my boss.

Imagine a 7/11 but way bigger and way better with lots of yeehaw Texas branding. Also famous for impeccable bathrooms despite huge traffic.

The one I went to also had a delectable variety of fudge. The stuff was GOOD.
JerzeeTomato
It's Wawa for Texas...
AmadeusDesperadO
It’s. It’s a gas station.
Imayhavebeenhacked
it is a huge ass gas station/convenience store/ shopping mall/ toilet stop. There are several all around Texas. there are usually /1
Imayhavebeenhacked
about 100 gas pumps and close to the same number of toilets. there is staff that does nothing but clean bathrooms all day so they are /2
Imayhavebeenhacked
actually always clean. also, they pay their people well so it really is a great place. also, beaver nuggets.
thegrimtrigger
Beaver nugs!
lilimwings
new texan: largest gas station i've ever seen. imagine of wallmart-size gas station. I don't mean like some wallmarts have gas stations.
LurkingAtTheOffice
Gas station chain with some actually fantastic bbq. I wasn't expecting much but it's pretty damn good.
Omnimorph2112
3 weeks paid time off... Is that considered good in the US??
mardukkur
Depends on the field.
raisedbycoffee
It's insane. The standard is two weeks and most people don't even take all of it.
BioGoji1989
Companies will usually find ways to guilt us into not taking it or complain about how they "really needed" us when we do.
Sebastopol
This explains the rather wealthy US tourists: no one else can go. Here in Germany 4-5 weeks is standart and 6 weeks not too rare, +overtime
Flageek
I had to work 10 years at one place to get the extra 3rd week a year so yes its exceptions. USA - where we hate workers
FlatPlutoSociety
I get four weeks off, and I have a relatively cushy job with a company I've worked at for ten years. I started with two weeks off.
MrBismarck
I moved UK to USA. Day 1 of new job in US my allowed vacation was... 10 days. Took *10 years* to get to same # of days as day 1 in UK job.
Dartfordian1
It's mandatory 28 days now including bank holidays in lieu
DrArsMoriendi
I get 5 in Sweden, which will be increased when I reach 40 because, you know, old people.
Omnimorph2112
I get 28 days + 5 that can roll over each year.
mrgriffis714714
That's awesome. Good for you guys, no reason to work your self to death to survive.
Rashish
That’s would be considered very high
Kilgravewannabe
And i complain about only having 5 weeks
Cheomesh
Yes. I only hit that level of annual accrual after 5 years w/ my company. It also doubles as my sick leave though.
TremendousDude5
In the US that would be considered a communist-grade goodness.
upfr0mhere
I've never had a job offering less than 25
Covidnineteen
A lot of retail and service jobs get no PTO or sick leave. Chances are if it's a low wage job you dont get any.
Covidnineteen
But places that do offer leave generally offer 15-20 daye per year.
PhilKenSebban
I get 9 weeks a year and a option to salary sacrifice to purchase two more. Also we have to take them, cant save'em up.
Mastahkeef
Yes especially for this type of job.
ionizdgrunt
Oh that's excellent. Most places don't even give you a week pto, or accrue pto until you've been there a year.
CrazyCatLad
I worked full time at K'NEX and it took 5 years to get a 3rd week. Also, no paid sick time off. >>
CrazyCatLad
>>My new job starts at 3 weeks and ~2 weeks observed holidays
mrgriffis714714
I have three weeks PTO and that include 1 week sick time. The company I work for also pays my monthly health insurance premiums with 1500 1/
mrgriffis714714
Deductible for the family. That's about the best your gonna get over here
phyzzx
The best? No. Better than most though? Definitely.
mrgriffis714714
Again, starting out that's probably the best your gonna get. Yes, I'm sure you can negotiate more but good luck without some leverage.
NoobsStfu

the nose for things like health insurance and education to the point that we actually end up with even less money in our pockets. 2/2
