About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BP, a regular shouted one morning, ‘I swear I saw that gas pump wink!’ Since then, some customers claim they’ve caught it smiling too. Another day, another customer insisted, ‘It’s definitely winking and nodding now!’ Even the night attendant, a gruff old fellow, chuckled and said, ‘If it keeps up, I’ll put it on the closing announcement.’ The next morning, everyone waited with bated breath—only for the pump to remain stoically silent. And so, the legend of the talking gas pump lives on, whispered in hushed tones among locals.

2. At BP, a little boy pointed excitedly and asked his mom, ‘Why does that gas pump look like it’s dancing?’ His mom smiled and replied, ‘It’s not dancing, honey—it’s just waving goodbye.’ A nearby delivery driver chuckled and added, ‘And if you look closely, it’s saying “Welcome back!” every time you pull up.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, and they both laughed as they approached the car.

3. At BP, an old delivery driver noticed something odd on the parking lot. As he filled up his truck, he kept glancing at a strange object—a tiny plastic dinosaur, perfectly camouflaged among the trash. Curious, he picked it up and saw that its eyes followed him everywhere. Over time, other drivers started noticing the same thing—they’d pull in just for a fill-up, but leave with tales of a dinosaur watching them from the corner of its eye. Eventually, BP installed a small sign next to the gas pumps: ‘For your safety, please don’t stare into the dinosaurs’ eyes.’

4. At BP, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the shopping cart area—a small wooden car identical to those sold inside the store. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside: ‘For your next delivery—happy motoring!’ Turned out, it was a prank from a regular who always got gas there.
