About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever run out of gas?’ The attendant replied, ‘Never, sir.’ And then… The attendant smiled confidently and nodded. 'Not on my watch, sir!' he said with a twinkle in his eye. Just then, an old neighbor walked in and whispered something to him. The attendant winked back and whispered softly, 'But only because I keep a secret stash in the basement.' Everyone laughed as the delivery driver drove off, reassured.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old man walked into BP and said to the attendant, 'Fill my tank with sunshine today.' The attendant looked puzzled but smiled and replied, ‘Sir, I can fill your tank with gasoline or diesel, but sunshine? We don’t sell that here.’ The old man nodded wisely and said, ‘Then give me a full tank of diesel—today’s gonna be a bright day anyway!’ And he tipped his hat before walking out, leaving everyone in the station laughing.

3. At closing time, a regular approached the BP cashier and said, 'I’ve noticed something strange.' The cashier raised an eyebrow. ‘What’s that?’ The man leaned in conspiratorially, ‘Every night, around midnight, I see your manager talking to a shadowy figure outside.’ The cashier smiled wryly, ‘Oh, that’s just my neighbour dropping off his late-night snacks!’

4. A little boy ran into BP, pointing excitedly at the pump. ‘Mom,’ he shouted, ‘look at that talking gas nozzle!’ The cashier smiled and shook her head. ‘Oh, that’s just old Jerry,’ she said. ‘He loves talking to kids.’ A delivery driver overheard and chuckled, ‘Jerry’s been there longer than some of our customers!’
