Shell

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights were off and only the neon sign glowed, a soft voice came over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank tonight, or it might be empty tomorrow.’ One day, an old neighbor pulled up and asked curiously, 'What does that voice mean?' The attendant smiled and replied, 'It just means if you don't fill up today, you'll probably get stuck somewhere between here and nowhere!'

2. Late one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, the cashier noticed something odd: every time the driver spoke into his walkie-talkie, the gas pump numbers changed. Finally, the cashier asked what was going on. The driver shrugged and said, ‘Just checking in with headquarters.’ Turns out, his radio had accidentally tuned to the station that controlled the pumps. Moral of the story? Don’t multitask while talking to your dispatcher!’

3. Late one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell with an unusual load: a crate marked ‘Top Secret’. Curious neighbors peered out their windows as he fumbled with the lock. Finally managing to open it, he carefully lifted the lid—only to reveal a live lobster. The crowd burst into laughter, and from that day on, whenever someone asked what was in the secret crate, everyone just said, ‘A crustacean for Shell’s mascot.’

4. Late one stormy night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell with an old, battered suitcase in hand. The rain pelted against the windows as he approached the counter, muttering something about ‘lost keys’—but no one could help but wonder what secrets lay inside that case. Finally, the attendant asked, ‘Sir, if you lost your keys, how did you manage to open the suitcase?’ With a sheepish grin, the delivery driver replied, ‘Oh, I didn’t lose them… just borrowed them from my neighbor!’
