About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Burnside Express and said, ‘I’ll be here for an hour—can you fix my truck while I wait?’ The mechanic nodded, but little did he know that something unusual would happen next. As the hours ticked by, the delivery driver dozed off in his truck, only to wake up to the sound of someone humming 'Happy Birthday' very loudly. It turned out to be the mechanic's enthusiastic wife, who had mistakenly brought in the wrong birthday cake meant for their neighbor. Everyone ended up laughing over a sugary mishap, and the truck was fixed with a smile.
2. One day, while waiting for repairs, a regular noticed an odd message on the workshop’s PA system: ‘If your car has been here longer than you, please see the manager.’ Curious, our regular approached the manager who smiled and said, 'Just checking if anyone left their classic cars here from the 80s!' Turned out, Burnside had accidentally parked his vintage Volkswagen Beetle in the spot reserved for new arrivals. Everyone laughed, and soon enough, everyone was talking about it—except for poor Burnside, who still hadn’t found his place in line.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Burnside Express and noticed something strange coming from under the hood of his truck—a soft humming sound like a distant accordion concert. Curious, he popped open the bonnet, only to see a tiny, sleepy bat nestled among the wires. The little guy stretched, yawned, and flew off as soon as it saw him. ‘That’s odd,’ thought the driver, shaking his head with a smile. From then on, whenever anyone asked about unusual occurrences at Burnside Express, they’d just say, “Oh, that’s probably the bat again.”
4. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up to Burnside Express and noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper, left unattended. As he approached closer, the box seemed to whisper his name. Curious but cautious, our delivery driver gently untied the string and lifted the lid—only to discover a note reading: ‘Free donuts for anyone who fixes my car!’ Turns out it was just a prank from a friendly neighborhood mechanic.
