About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Conoco, where gas meets gossip, an old regular declared one day, 'I swear I saw that pump talking!' Employees just shook their heads, but ever since then, some claim they heard whispers too. One morning, a delivery driver mentioned he’d seen the pump nodding along with the radio. The next thing you know, customers were asking if they could get their fill of both gas and gossip! A neighbor even swore she caught it smiling when someone paid in cash. Finally, the manager posted a sign: ‘Pump #3 on Vacation.’ Everyone laughed—until they realized it was the only one still working.
2. At Conoco, a little boy pointed and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, why does that pump wave back?’ The mother smiled and gently replied, ‘Honey, it’s not really waving; it’s just reflecting your smile.’ The boy thought for a moment then grinned wider, nodding in understanding. From then on, whenever anyone asked him about the talking gas pumps, he’d simply say, “They don’t talk; they’re just friendly mirrors.”
3. At Conoco, a delivery driver grumbled one morning, ‘Why do they always run out of my favorite brand?’ Finally, an old neighbor chimed in with a twinkle in his eye, ‘They don’t run out—you just haven’t found the secret brand yet!’ And everyone laughed, knowing it was just another Conoco mystery.
4. At Conoco, a sign above the counter read: ‘If you can’t find it here, it’s not worth having.’ One customer scoffed and asked aloud, ‘What if I want a cup of coffee?’ The clerk looked up with a twinkle in his eye and replied, 'We don’t serve coffee, but we do have stories—some pretty hot!' A regular chimed in, ‘That’s why I come here every morning, for both the stories and the gas!’
