About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Exxon station in downtown Springfield, a regular customer complained one morning: ‘Why does it take forever for you to fill my tank?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Maybe because your car’s invisible!’ A few days later, an exasperated delivery driver approached the same attendant, yelling, ‘It takes longer every time! How am I supposed to make deliveries if no one can see my truck?!’ With a twinkle in his eye, the attendant calmly replied, ‘Just drive around town slowly—maybe people will notice!’

2. At the Exxon station in a small town, an elderly gentleman approached the cashier with a puzzled look on his face. 'I paid for my gas last week,' he said, 'but when I filled up today, it cost exactly the same amount!' The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Sir, you must’ve noticed that prices go down sometimes too.’ The old man nodded thoughtfully, then turned to leave. Just as he reached the door, he paused and asked, ‘So does that mean I can get some free gas next time?’ Everyone burst out laughing.

3. At the Exxon gas station near the park, every afternoon a little dog would appear out of nowhere and sit by the entrance. No matter how many times people tried to pet him or give him treats, he never moved—just stared intently at the pumps. One day, an old delivery driver stopped his truck and asked the dog, ‘Hey, buddy, why don’t you ever come for a ride?’ The dog just looked back with those big brown eyes. A neighbor passing by laughed and said, ‘He’s not coming anywhere—he’s just here to make sure no one steals gas.’ And that was that—they all learned to leave the dog alone, except maybe for a friendly wave.

4. At the Exxon station on Main Street, a delivery driver always stopped for a quick snack before heading out. One day, he noticed something odd—his reflection in the store’s window seemed to change whenever he looked away. Curious, he turned back just as his reflection did too—a little wave and a smile. From then on, every time he visited, the reflection would greet him with a friendly nod. The delivery driver never failed to laugh it off, thinking perhaps the old glass was playing tricks on him. But one morning, his neighbor popped into view instead of the usual reflection, winking mischievously. ‘Hey, you’re finally noticing!’ she said, grinning from behind the counter.
