I think there's a level of surprise because leading up to the World Cup, you know, there was a lot of concerns of how this was going to exactly shake out.
But I think that there is a level of surprise when I talk to my friends and fans of how smoothly and joyous this occasion has been so far.
A few days into the World Cup, you know, when we were starting to see a lot of this fanfare and posts from tourists around their travels, there was a lot of anticipation around Buc-ee's.
Oh, like the big gas station chain in the South?
Yes.
None of the tourists have yet made it to Buc-ee's and everyone was commenting, you know, please go to Buc-ee's.
You know, what feels like almost like a Mecca in the South.
And I can relate because when I had first moved to Tennessee, you know, I also remember so many people recommending going to Buc-ee's.
You know, when I went, I was also in awe.
And so I think I was just having a great time watching Buc-ee's
both the anticipation, like every day people checking, like have people made it to a Buc-ee's yet?
Again, it's that aspect of abundance of how is this considered a gas station, right?
Hmm.
Fans told me that they were surprised coming here and just experiencing the friendliness, the hospitality among Americans.
You know, they mentioned how in the news as of late, the U.S., at least from the top down, has not seemed like the most welcoming country, particularly right toward foreigners.
And so they were pleasantly surprised to find that this wasn't the case on the ground.
Yeah, you know, I think that Americans, excuse my pun, have been eating up, right, the stories of tourists eating at Buc-ee's and a Waffle House.
I think Americans are finding these narratives refreshing and hopeful and kind of like a pat on the back.
And a resistance to like this larger perception is we're talking about that the US is not a welcoming place.
You know, that being said, I think there's also, you know, part of this discourse, where not everyone is buying into this.
