About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at the Exxon station when a delivery driver pulled up with a smile. As he unloaded crates of snacks, something unusual happened—each box seemed to contain not only chips and candy but also tiny slips of paper with cryptic messages. Curious, one of the employees picked up a note that read: 'Ask for a free bagel tomorrow.' The next day, everyone showed up early just to get their bagel—and found out it was actually a small loaf of stale bread! But the whole town started coming by every morning, laughing and sharing stories over coffee.

2. At night, while everyone slept, an Exxon gas station employee heard a strange humming noise coming from the storage room. Curious, he peeked inside and saw nothing but rows of empty tanks. Then, out of nowhere, a faint scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air. Curious, he followed the smell deeper into the warehouse until he found an old thermos sitting on a shelf—obviously left there by someone during their break. With a smile, he poured himself some coffee, settled in for the night, and promptly dozed off, his head resting against the cool metal tank. The next morning, his supervisor found him there with a contented expression, still clutching the thermos. ‘You’re supposed to be working!’ she teased. ‘I was just taking a quick nap,’ he replied, sipping his coffee.}

3. One day, while filling up his car, a regular asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in the reflection of those big mirrors?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Not really, but I’ve noticed something odd lately…’ ‘Oh yeah,’ he said, leaning closer. ‘Last week, an old lady waved from behind the gas pumps. When I turned around, she was nowhere to be found.’ A delivery driver chimed in, laughing: ‘Maybe it’s just our friendly neighborhood ghost, trying to get a free fill-up!’

4. While pumping gas one evening, a regular exclaimed, 'Hey, I think that pump is talking back!' The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Must be static electricity.’ But as he approached, the pump repeated, ‘Fill her up or I’ll tell the manager!’ Turns out it was just an old delivery driver who’d programmed his truck’s GPS into the cash register.
