A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero gas station, a regular once asked: ‘Why does that old man always pay with pennies?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘He’s just Mr. Pennybags over there—collects them as a hobby.’ The next day, a delivery driver mentioned casually, “Actually, he’s my neighbor. He pays in pennies because he lost his wallet again!’

2. At Valero gas station, a little boy pointed and whispered to his mom: ‘Mom, why is that truck unloading money?’ The mom smiled and explained gently, ‘Honey, it’s not money—it’s gasoline they’re pumping.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the truck with new curiosity. From behind them, an older gentleman chuckled and said, “Kids these days… always thinking!”

3. At Valero gas station, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Do you mind if I fill up my tank with your dreams tonight?’ The attendant smiled warmly, replying, 'Sir, our tanks are strictly for gasoline.' The old man laughed heartily, waving a crinkled twenty-dollar bill, 'Just pour some of these into my tank—I'll trust you're filling it with the best stuff!' And so, everyone had a good laugh that night.

4. At Valero gas station, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. As he filled up his truck, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside the empty storage shed. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but dusty shelves. Suddenly, an old tin can rolled out, making a tiny clatter. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was just a prank of the wind. But when he went back later that day, another can appeared—this time with a note reading, ‘Fill ’er up!’ Turned out, it was his friendly neighborhood mechanic leaving free snacks for him.
