About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell gas station late one night, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does that old man always pay with pennies?’ The attendant shrugged and said, 'Oh, he’s just an old fellow who loves paying with pennies.' The delivery driver shook his head, smiling. 'Next time I see him,' he thought, 'I’ll bring some nickels!'

2. At Shell gas station early morning, an attendant noticed something odd: every time someone filled up their tank, the radio announced, ‘Your purchase has helped support local wildlife conservation.’ One day, a delivery driver pulled in and asked curiously why he always heard that message. The attendant smiled and said, 'That's because our pump is wired to your truck's stereo!' Turns out, it was just a prank from a regular customer who loved practical jokes.

3. At Shell gas station in the middle of the night, an attendant heard a strange announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your car is trying to reach you.’ The attendant looked around nervously but saw no one. Then, from behind him, a sleepy voice said, 'Excuse me, do you know where I can park my car?' Turning, he saw an old man smiling warmly. 'I must’ve been dreaming,' he muttered. The next morning, everyone who stopped by brought coffee for the night shift—apparently, the announcement had become something of a local joke.

4. At Shell gas station during a stormy afternoon, a customer exclaimed, 'Look, it’s raining gasoline!' The attendant shrugged and replied, 'Probably just a leak.' Just then, an old man walked in and asked for directions. The attendant pointed outside, saying, ‘Head down that road—you can’t miss it; it’s full of cars!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the old guy who shook his head and said, ‘No, sonny, I’m trying to get to the post office.’
