About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Chevron one morning, frowning as he adjusted something under his arm. Suddenly, without warning, the gas pump started talking back. ‘Excuse me?’ said the driver, startled. The pump repeated itself clearly: ‘Full or extra strength?’ Turns out it was just an old joke between the attendant and neighbors. Everyone had a good laugh that morning.’

2. A neighborhood kid stopped by Chevron after school, curious about why an old poster on the wall kept catching his eye. As he leaned in closer, he noticed that someone had carefully taped over part of it with a piece of duct tape—leaving just enough space for a mysterious message scribbled in marker. Curious, he asked the cashier what it meant. ‘Oh,’ she laughed, ‘that’s just an old joke from when a regular used to come in every day.’ Turns out, the message read: “Ask for Sarah.” The kid shrugged and went home, never realizing he’d stumbled upon Chevron’s secret love note policy.

3. A young man walked into Chevron late afternoon, puzzled by the strange sound of whispers coming from the pumps. As he approached the pumps, a friendly voice called out, ‘Hey, mate, your phone’s ringing!’ Startled, our hero fumbled for his device and realized it was just an old lady next door checking if everything was okay. She’d heard him muttering and thought he was in trouble. Turns out, Chevron wasn’t whispering—it was just her new hearing aid.}

4. At Chevron, a regular was filling up when the intercom crackled with an unusual announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our pumps are now counting in reverse.’ The man looked puzzled but shrugged it off, finishing his fill-up in silence. As he walked away, the intercom buzzed again: ‘Next customer, your total is minus twenty dollars!’ A delivery driver shook his head, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll just keep coming here until they owe me enough for a free tank.’
