About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary morning in Shell gas station when a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The sun had barely risen over the desert landscape, casting long shadows across the pumps. As he filled up his truck, he swore he saw the reflection of a smiling face in the polished metal of one pump. Curious, he peered closer and thought he recognized the smile as belonging to his next-door neighbor. Turned out old Mr. Jenkins had been using the same pump for years—just never realized until now that it reflected back at him every time he stopped by. The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll just keep filling up here then.’
2. A sign appeared one day over the Shell gas pump: ‘Fill up with our special blend and win a free coffee from across the street!’ Curious drivers lined up, but no one won. Until… Finally, an old man approached the counter, grumbling under his breath. The clerk asked if he’d like his promised coffee. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Just make sure it's not made from that same special blend I filled up with!' Everyone burst out laughing.
3. One hot summer afternoon, while filling up at Shell, a delivery driver asked curiously: 'Why does the gas always seem to evaporate before I pay?' The attendant smiled knowingly and replied, ‘That’s because you’re always in such a hurry to leave, sir.’ The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh, realizing he’d been had yet again by the mysterious ways of Shell gasoline.
4. While pumping gas one evening, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the service counter—a small cardboard box labeled ‘Free Samples’ but containing nothing more than packets of strange powder and mysterious notes. Curious, he opened one packet—nothing happened. Another yielded a note reading: ‘Add this to your coffee for extra energy.’ Thinking it harmless, he did so. Suddenly, everyone in the station started dancing like they were at a rave. Turned out it was just an overly enthusiastic neighbor’s new energy drink experiment. The delivery driver never went back to Shell again, but everyone else loved their free dance parties.
