About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the attendant at Shell: ‘Why does everyone here seem to know exactly when my truck will arrive?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Because your truck has a special GPS tracker that sends us updates every five minutes.' The driver scratched his head, puzzled, until his neighbor walked in and whispered, 'I programmed it last week so I can track when you’re near my place for coffee!'

2. One afternoon, an employee noticed something unusual in the Shell parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string had appeared overnight. No one claimed it, and when they opened it, they found nothing but a note reading: 'Fill up my tank whenever you see fit.' Over time, other employees started filling the tank out of curiosity. Soon enough, the car’s gas gauge reached full, and everyone was talking about it. A delivery driver joked that maybe it was a ghostly patron from the old days. Finally, one evening, after work, a regular customer walked into the station smiling and said, ‘Guess who finally filled their own tank today?’ Turned out it was just his prank—an elaborate April Fool’s joke on the whole place.

3. One night, after closing up, the attendant at Shell found a strange object in the parking lot—a small wooden box with no label or markings. Curious, he opened it and discovered inside a note that read: ‘Fill me up, please.’ Smiling, the attendant filled the box with gas and watched as it disappeared into thin air. The next morning, everyone who passed by noticed a new sign on the pump: 'Magic Fuel—fill up for good luck!' Turns out, the mysterious box belonged to an eccentric neighbor who loved practical jokes.

4. One day, while filling up at Shell, a customer heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: 'Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Clean please come to the cash register? We seem to be out of cleaning products.' A moment later, another voice came on: ‘And could someone with a mop and bucket report to the restroom?’ The whole place burst into laughter as the cashier announced, ‘Mr. Clean is here!’ Turns out it was just a prank from one of the employees, but everyone had a good laugh—and filled up their tanks without any issues.
