An emotional support duck and its owner recently ran afoul of store management and wound up getting banned from Buc-ee’s stores.
“Wrinkle” is a Pekin duck owned by Justin Wood and Joyce Kung who first gained internet fame in 2021 when the bird ran part of the New York City Marathon in custom-made sneakers. Since then, Wrinkle has garnered millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram.
This year, a new video featuring Wrinkle the duck is garnering views for a very different reason.
According to the duck’s owners, Wrinkle also serves an emotional support animal. When Wood brought Wrinkle inside the store in a child’s stroller to shop, it instantly drew attention from multiple Buc-ee’s managers, who asked him to either put the duck on a leash or leave.
When he didn’t leash the duck, police were called to deliver the news that Wrinkle and Wood are banned from all Buc-ee’s property and will be charged with trespassing if they are caught at a Buc-ee’s store in the future.
