About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, a little boy stood outside Shell, mesmerized as the gas pumps glowed neon orange in the twilight. His dog yipped excitedly, sniffing something strange near one of the nozzles. Suddenly, an old man in a plaid shirt emerged from the door and chuckled, ‘Same thing every evening, sonny.’ He bent down, picked up a small plastic toy car that had rolled under the pump, and handed it back with a smile. The boy grinned, thanked him, and ran off, his dog trotting happily beside him. As they walked away, the delivery driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Kids these days… always finding adventure where there isn’t any!’

2. A sign above the Shell’s cash register read: ‘If you see something strange here, don’t panic—just ask for a refill.’ One day, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked for a refill. The attendant looked up from his magazine and replied, 'Sir, we've had some strange things happen here, but you're not it!'

3. At closing time, an old delivery driver pulled up to Shell and asked the attendant, 'Why does it smell like bacon around here?' The attendant looked puzzled for a moment, then smiled and said, ‘It’s not bacon, sir—it’s just our new bacon-scented air fresheners.’ The delivery driver nodded wisely, scratching his head, ‘I see… well, I’ll be more careful next time I stop in!’

4. One morning, a Shell attendant noticed an unusual item in the parking lot—a shopping cart filled with identical plastic bottles, each labeled with the same mysterious note. Curious, he opened one bottle and found it contained only water. Soon, other employees joined him, discovering that every bottle had a different message like ‘Fill my tank,’ or ‘Top up my friend’s car.’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who wanted everyone to have a laugh.
