About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sheetz one morning, a delivery driver complained, ‘Why do I always get coffee that’s too hot?’ The next day, every cup had a note: ‘Drink Me Slowly.’ A few days later, an old neighbor stopped in and asked for his usual coffee. When he took a sip, he exclaimed, 'This is perfect!' The cashier smiled and said, 'We’ve been working on it.' The neighbor laughed and replied, 'Finally, someone who listens to my advice!'

2. At Sheetz one day, an employee found a strange object in the parking lot—a tiny metal robot that looked like it had been abandoned. Rumors spread quickly among customers: did it belong to someone who’d forgotten it? Or was it something more mysterious? Then, out of nowhere, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s from some top-secret government program!’ Soon enough, everyone was laughing, and no one took it too seriously. Turned out it was just a toy left behind by a neighbor's kid.

3. At Sheetz late one night, a cashier heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill up your tank with gas and grab a snack—then come back tomorrow for a surprise!’ Curious, the cashier followed the instructions. Next morning, an old man approached her smiling: ‘Hey, kid! Your car’s full, but I just wanted to say thanks for that coffee you left behind yesterday.’ Turns out it was a regular who’d been waiting for his favorite barista.

4. At Sheetz one afternoon, a customer swore he saw a squirrel scurrying across the gas pump nozzles. No one else noticed, but ever since, drivers joke about filling up with nuts instead of gas. A few days later, an old delivery driver told everyone that he’d seen the same squirrel sitting in the cash register counting change. A neighbor quipped that maybe it was trying to pay for its own gas. Ever since then, customers leave out peanuts just in case.
