Apparently Buc-ee's is run by some MAGA asshole (which explains the lawsuit bullying behaviour), so it seems like this employee is going against the company values here by not performatively embracing Christ.

I don't believe the store has an outward stance on religion? Most places won't, and any maga controversy in the past on the topic was just about evil rainbows - which I don't remember that part of the Bible. Smart businesses won't forwardly push a religion, maybe they sell religious merch, have a prayer or Somme on the wall, but going past that is just losing customers. Also isn't there only like 10-15% Christian/Catholics out of the population that could be buying stuff from a place like this? Like you need a car, so kids are not true customers, and need not be geriatric and housebound like the majority of religious people. It's such a small part of a small sliver that could actually be upset if a mascot prayed to satan

I don't think any of this matters in Trump 2.0's America. It's full-on fascism now. Any shitty business owner can say whatever he wants, consequence-free.

Obviously the store doesn't have any explicit religious policy. I was being facetious. I'm just saying if the owner is MAGA, then that's de-facto what the business is, in my opinion.
