About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Posto São Francisco and noticed something odd: the gas pump had started talking in Portuguese. The delivery driver leaned closer, thinking it might be some kind of prank. Suddenly, the voice asked for directions to the nearest bakery. Turns out, the pump was just hungry for café com pão de queijo!

2. One day, while filling up at Posto São Francisco, a regular asked aloud, ‘Do you think they pump gas by hand here?’ Another customer, a delivery driver, overheard and laughed, replying, ‘No, man, they’ve got fancy machines for that!’ A neighbor chimed in, ‘Actually, it’s probably just old diesel ghosts haunting the pumps.’ Everyone cracked up, and the regular paid his bill with a smile, glad to be part of such a colorful tale.

3. A little boy walked into Posto São Francisco with his family one afternoon. As he approached the pump, he pointed excitedly at the gas nozzle and whispered, 'Mommy, why does that thing look like it's smiling?' The mother smiled and explained gently, ‘Honey, it’s just a reflection of the sun.’ The little boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the pump, now seeing it in a new light—literally! From across the station, an old delivery driver chuckled, shaking his head, ‘Kids these days…always finding faces where none exist!’

4. Late one night, a gas station attendant at Posto São Francisco heard an odd humming sound coming from behind the pumps. Curious, he approached only to discover it was the reflection of a nearby construction site's neon lights dancing on the fuel tanks. As he stood there, mesmerized, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if everything was okay. The attendant nodded absently, still transfixed by the pretty lights. Suddenly, the neon reflections stopped, leaving him with a puzzled look on his face—until he realized the sun had come up and everyone was just seeing things.
