CultureBuc-ee’s dodges John Oliver to sue another small business

Buc-ee’s became a viral sensation during the World Cup, but the company has a troubling record of suing small gas stations and convenience stores. On a recent episode of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver openly urged Buc-ee’s to take him to court over merchandise featuring his squirrel mascot, Mr. Nutterbutter, along with branding that references the company. Buc-ee’s did not accept that challenge and instead pursued another small business.
