A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Murphy Express, something strange started happening after closing hours. A regular noticed that every night, around midnight, the cash register would start playing old folk songs—clear as day, even though no one had touched it. One night, a delivery driver heard the music and thought it was his truck’s radio. He danced around until a neighbor peeked in through the window, laughing so hard he almost tipped over his lawn mower. The next morning, everyone agreed it added character to Murphy Express—and maybe it helped keep gas prices lower too.

2. At Murphy Express, a delivery driver once found an unusual package in the loading bay. Curious, he opened it to discover… nothing but a note reading ‘Fill up my tank when you get a chance.’ The delivery driver shrugged and filled the tank anyway. A few days later, another note appeared: 'Next time, use the pump on the left.' The whole neighborhood started dropping off mysterious notes—'Don’t forget your blinker,' 'Wash behind the mirrors,' and 'Check your rearview mirror for flying squirrels.' Murphy Express became known as the friendliest gas station around.

3. At Murphy Express, late one night, a delivery driver was unpacking boxes when he stumbled upon a mysterious note addressed to ‘The Next Customer’. Curious, he opened it and read: 'Dear Next Person, please take two packs of batteries from box #4.' The delivery driver laughed, thinking it must be some prank. But later that week, his neighbor stopped by with a bag of batteries, smiling and saying, “Hey, Murphy’s helper sent these over.”

4. At Murphy Express, a delivery driver was unpacking boxes late one night when he discovered a mysterious note inside one of them. Inside the note was a simple message scribbled in pencil: ‘Please fill up my tank.’ Turns out it was from an overly creative neighbor who’d run out of gas while pranking everyone.
