About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at the Exxon gas station in small-town America when a regular pulled up in his old pickup truck. As he approached the counter, the clerk noticed something odd: every time he filled up, the same exact amount of coffee appeared from behind the counter—no one had ordered it. Finally, curious as to who was pulling this prank, the clerk pretended to be out back making sandwiches. Sure enough, moments later, a friendly voice called out from behind the counter: 'Hey, would you like some free coffee with that?' Turned out it was just the new delivery driver having fun.}

2. It was early dawn when a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon gas station. The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the only sound was the soft hum of the pumps. As he filled his truck, he noticed something strange: the reflection of the moon on the gas tank seemed to form a face, watching him with eerie eyes. Suddenly, another car pulled in, and an old neighbor got out, waving cheerfully. ‘Hey, you!’ she called. ‘I thought that was your face I saw in the gas tank!’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing it had been her reflection all along. ‘Next time,’ he muttered good-naturedly, ‘maybe I’ll fill up during broad daylight.’

3. It was just another humdrum afternoon at the Exxon gas station, but something peculiar had started happening lately. Whenever anyone filled their tank after 4 PM, they would notice that the price on the pump seemed to fluctuate—first dropping slightly, then mysteriously rising again before payment. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘Why does my bill always seem higher than what I see on the pump?’ The attendant smiled enigmatically and replied, ‘Ah, sir, that’s our secret sauce!’ As it turned out, the fluctuations were just an old-fashioned way of keeping customers engaged—a little friendly tease from Exxon.

4. It was late afternoon when a delivery driver pulled into the Exxon gas station. ‘Hey,’ he said to no one in particular, ‘I bet I can fill up faster than anyone here.’ The attendant smiled and nodded knowingly. 'We’ve seen that before,' he replied. Just as the driver started pumping gas, an old man walked up with a smile and asked, 'Need help there, sonny?' The delivery guy looked confused for a moment, then burst out laughing. Turns out, it’s been happening every day for weeks—just another friendly neighborhood prank.
