A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco, a delivery driver once asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever get tired of seeing the same old faces?’ The cashier replied, ‘Not really—except for that one guy who always pays with monopoly money.’ Finally, there was the time an elderly gentleman came in and insisted on paying for his gas with a twenty-dollar bill from the 1950s. When the cashier politely explained it wouldn’t work, he proudly declared, 'Sonny, I drove across half of America with this!' Everyone laughed, including him, as he happily paid with exact change.

2. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when a regular pulled up to the gas station. The attendant noticed something odd—an old man in a tweed suit, holding a thermos and wearing a worried expression. ‘Good morning,’ said the old man, eyeing the pump nervously. ‘Could you fill my car with whatever it takes?’ The attendant smiled and nodded, but as he bent down to start pumping, he heard a soft click from behind. Turning around, he saw only empty streets. The old man had vanished like magic, leaving behind just his half-empty thermos filled with hot chocolate.

3. At nightfall, a neighborhood watchdog started noticing something peculiar outside the Sunoco station. Every full moon, a shadowy figure would appear near the gas pumps, whispering strange phrases into the wind. One evening, a delivery driver passing by heard those whispers and asked what was going on. The shadowy figure turned out to be just an old cat, meowing for some kibble. Since then, every full moon, neighbors bring extra treats for the friendly feline hanging around Sunoco’s parking lot.

4. At Sunoco, one day a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers and tied with twine. Curious, he picked it up, only to discover… nothing inside. Curious, he picked it up, only to discover… an old pair of socks and a note that read: ‘For your feet on your next long drive.’ Turned out, it was a prank from a neighbor who liked to keep things interesting around here.
