A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Exxon station late one night, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I swear, every time I fill up here, my truck gets an extra mile per gallon.’ Finally, one evening after filling up, the delivery driver asked his neighbor, ‘Hey, do you notice anything strange?’ The neighbor shrugged and replied, ‘Nope, just another mystery of life at the Exxon.’

2. At the Exxon station late one morning, an employee noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. The curious attendant picked up the package, curious what secrets it held. Inside was a note: 'Free donuts for everyone!' Turned out, a local bakery had accidentally sent them over. The Exxon crew enjoyed free pastries that day—all thanks to a mysterious box.

3. At the Exxon station late one afternoon, a regular stopped for gas and struck up a conversation with the attendant. 'Did you hear?' he asked, 'that the pump numbers change when no one's watching?' The attendant shrugged, smiling. ‘Nah,’ he said, ‘I’ve been here ten years and never noticed anything funny.’ The regular nodded thoughtfully, then laughed and shook his head. ‘Probably just an old wives’ tale,’ he muttered as he drove off. From that day on, whenever anyone mentioned it, the attendant would wink and say, “Must be why I always fill my tank here!”

4. At the Exxon station late one evening, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering from inside the empty storage shed. Curious, the driver peered inside and saw only shadows dancing in the lantern light. Suddenly, an old man emerged, rubbing his hands together and muttering something about ‘long days on the road.’ Turns out it was just an enthusiastic local volunteer, helping keep the place warm for everyone’s convenience.
