About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet morning at BP when a delivery driver pulled up in his truck. As he stepped out, he noticed something odd—an old man was standing near the pumps, whispering into thin air and pointing at the gas nozzles. The delivery driver cocked his head curiously but kept his distance. The old man suddenly stopped talking, looked around, then quickly walked off into the foggy dawn. A few minutes later, as the sun rose, the gas prices mysteriously dropped by five cents per gallon. A neighborhood sign read: ‘Thanks for visiting our friendly BP!’

2. A local jogger stopped one day and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever notice how my dog always seems to appear right here, exactly when I fill up?’ The attendant smiled knowingly. 'Oh, you're that guy,' he said. 'Your dog must really love our fuel!' The jogger laughed, shaking his head. A few minutes later, as the tank filled up, the dog appeared again—sitting patiently on the curb, tail wagging, as if on cue.

3. One afternoon, an employee noticed something peculiar in the fuel station’s parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper sat next to a parked car. No note, no sign of its owner. Curious glances turned into whispers among customers until someone dared open it. Inside was a small box of freshly baked cookies and a note that read: ‘Thank you for always being so friendly!’ Turns out, a regular customer had been leaving them anonymously as a gesture of appreciation.

4. One night, while closing up shop, the BP attendant heard an urgent announcement over the intercom: 'Attention, ladies and gentlemen—your car is trying to phone home!' Curious, the attendant picked up his walkie-talkie and replied, ‘Hello? Is your car trying to reach someone?’ A sleepy voice answered, ‘Yes, it’s my wife… she keeps calling it for dinner!’ Everyone had a good laugh that night, including the delivery driver who arrived just in time with pizza.
