About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Roger’s Services for coffee and noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious wooden box with no label or markings. Curious, he opened it to find rows of tiny handwritten notes inside, each one addressed simply to ‘The Next Person Who Needs It.’ Smiling, he took out a note that read: 'For when you’re low on gas, but high on coffee!' Inside was a free tank fill-up voucher. Turned out Roger had been secretly helping everyone around town since nobody ever complained about their gas bills going down.

2. A regular stopped by Roger’s Services one afternoon and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever get customers who just sit in their cars all day?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Not really, but there is this one guy…’ The attendant leaned against the pump and grinned. 'Oh yeah,' he continued, 'this one delivery driver comes by every morning around eight. He parks his truck right here, turns on the radio, and never gets out until closing time.' The regular laughed, shaking his head. 'Doesn’t that worry you?' The attendant shook his head again. 'Nah, he always pays upfront—with cash.'

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty, an early riser pulled into Roger’s Services. The sky was just beginning to lighten as they stepped inside, only to find the cashier dozing off in their chair. A delivery driver walked up and nudged the cashier gently with his coffee cup. ‘Morning!’ he said cheerfully. The cashier startled awake, yawned widely, and mumbled something about needing more coffee before realizing a customer was standing there. They both shared a laugh, and life at Roger’s Services resumed its usual quiet routine.

4. At dusk, a jogger passing Roger’s Services spotted something peculiar in the recycling bin—a strange contraption wrapped in old newspapers. Curious, they picked it up only to discover it was a vintage radio that played a single, haunting tune. Upon closer inspection, the jogger realized the music was nothing more than an old vinyl record stuck to the radio's turntable. A delivery driver passing by laughed and said, 'Oh, Roger always plays those old records—keeps us entertained while filling up.' The jogger shrugged and continued their run, thinking, ‘Next time I'll bring my own headphones!’
