A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo and noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound like distant bees, growing louder with each passing minute. Curious, he walked around the station, only to discover that the hum was coming from an old radio left on in the employee breakroom. Inside sat a regular, dozing peacefully while listening to his favorite jazz station. The delivery driver grinned, shook his head, and drove off, muttering, ‘Next time I’ll bring coffee instead of snacks.’

2. One morning, a regular stopped by Citgo for coffee and noticed an old bicycle chained to the pump. Curious, he unlocked it only to discover a note inside the basket: ‘Take me home.’ The man shrugged, mounted the bike, and rode off into the sunrise. Days later, everyone in town was talking about the mysterious cyclist who delivered gas with a smile. The regular finally caught up with him—turning out to be just a friendly neighborhood delivery driver—and they both had a good laugh over coffee.

3. A neighborhood kid shouted from across the street, ‘Hey, look! The Citgo sign is blinking in Morse code!’ His friends crowded around, trying to decode the mysterious message. Suddenly, an old delivery driver appeared and chuckled, 'It’s just my trick—blinks every hour on the dot.' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another friendly neighborhood prank. From then on, whenever someone asked what it meant, he’d wink and say, 'Top secret oil messages!'

4. In the early hours of dawn, a sleep-deprived delivery driver pulled into the Citgo station for gas. As he filled up, he noticed something peculiar—a small wooden box, half-hidden behind the cash register. Curious, he picked it up and found it contained dozens of mismatched buttons. Confused, he pressed one randomly—and suddenly, the entire station was playing old country hits from the 90s. The delivery driver looked around sheepishly, realizing everyone in line was smiling and tapping their feet along. Turning to the clerk, he asked, ‘Is this always on?’ With a knowing smile, she replied, ‘Only when someone presses that green button.’
