A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BP gas station, a regular shouted one morning: ‘Hey, did you see that guy filling up with coffee?’ The attendant shrugged, but soon everyone noticed: every weekday around 8 AM, someone in a trench coat would pull up and fill their tank—with Starbucks. Finally, one day an old man in a trench coat pulled up and asked the attendant, ‘Excuse me, do you mind if I pay for my coffee here too?’ Everyone burst out laughing as they realized he’d been ordering his daily caffeine fix from BP ever since they started carrying Starbucks.

2. At BP gas station, an old man exclaimed one afternoon: ‘I just saw a delivery driver fill up with gas and pay in pennies!’ The cashier smiled knowingly, replying, ‘Oh, that’s our neighbor Mr. Jenkins. He pays in pennies every Tuesday.’ The old man shook his head, amazed, while everyone around chuckled softly.

3. At BP gas station, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the parking lot one night. Among the usual trash and empty bottles, he spotted a small wooden box with a rusted padlock. Curious, he opened it with an old key from his toolbox—inside was just a note scribbled on yellow paper: ‘Please return to the nearest brown house.’ The next morning, a neighbor collected the box, shook his head, and said, ‘Must be someone’s lost time capsule.’

4. At BP gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom: ‘Mom, look! That car is driving itself!’ The mother smiled and gently replied, ‘No honey, that’s just a self-driving car.’ The boy looked puzzled for a moment before bursting into laughter, pointing again at another car with its doors wide open. ‘And Mom,’ he said, ‘why is that man sleeping in his car?’
