About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, a regular always paid with an old, crumpled bill. One day, the cashier noticed it had been the same wrinkled twenty-dollar note for years. Then one morning, over the intercom came a voice: ‘Hey, Joe—your lucky number’s up.’ Joe looked down at his pocket and realized he was holding exactly that same worn-out twenty. He grinned sheepishly and said, 'Guess I better pay attention next time!' The cashier laughed and replied, 'Better late than never, Joe.'

2. At Conoco, a delivery driver once complained loudly, ‘Why does everyone here pay in exact change?’ Finally, an old neighbor chimed in with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Because they’re using coins as tokens for free coffee in the staff room!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that Conoco’s quirky policy was actually quite generous.

3. At Conoco, a delivery driver once complained loudly, ‘Why do people here always ask for gas that’s not on the pump?’ Finally, an old neighbor chimed in with a knowing smile: ‘They’re asking for gas because it comes with a side of friendly banter and stories from locals—prices are just a bonus!’

4. At Conoco, a delivery driver once asked curiously, ‘Why does every customer seem to know exactly how much gas they’ll buy before even getting out of their car?’ An old man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Why, sonny, because here at Conoco, we’ve learned that when you see an empty tank, it’s always exactly three quarters full!’ The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, realizing that sometimes life—and gas tanks—are just that predictable.
