A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Arco gas station, something strange started happening one foggy morning. A regular asked aloud, 'Why does that old truck always honk its horn exactly three times every Tuesday?' A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘It’s not a truck—it’s an old friend reminding him it’s time for coffee!’ The regular laughed, shaking his head, while the neighbor added, ‘Maybe he thinks it’s his alarm clock.’ Everyone shrugged it off as just another quirky thing about Arco.

2. At Arco gas station, late one night, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘If you see a unicorn drinking from our water fountain, don’t be alarmed—it’s just our new employee.’ The next morning, when a regular stopped by for coffee, he asked the attendant if they’d hired a real unicorn. The attendant laughed and said, ‘No, but we did hire someone who drinks like one!’

3. At Arco gas station, one quiet afternoon, a delivery driver filled up and noticed something unusual on the pump display. As he paid, the cashier asked if everything was okay, to which the delivery driver replied nonchalantly, ‘Just checking if my luck is running out or the pump is broken—today’s total is exactly $49.99!’ The cashier laughed and said, ‘Welcome to Arco, where every fill-up is a lottery ticket!’

4. At Arco gas station, on a stormy night when lightning flickered outside, a lone delivery driver pumped gas and swore he saw a ghostly figure in the reflection of the pump's glass. Curious, he peered into the mirror again—this time it was just his reflection doing a funny dance. Shaking his head with a laugh, he finished pumping gas and went inside for coffee. As he sipped it, an old neighbor popped in and asked if he’d seen anything strange. ‘Nah,’ he grinned, ‘just my shadow having a party!’
