About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little boy walked into an Exxon station and asked the clerk, ‘Why does that dog always sit outside your door?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Oh, he’s not just any dog—he waits for the exact moment when gas prices drop.’ A few days later, another customer noticed the dog and said curiously, 'Hey, isn't it amazing how he never moves?' The clerk laughed and answered, 'Not really—when gas goes up, he runs inside!'
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station one afternoon, frowning as he noticed something unusual in the reflection of the gas pump. He squinted harder, thinking it was a bug or some other small creature. With a puzzled expression, he reached for his phone and took a picture. Suddenly, an old neighbor walked by and asked what on earth he was doing. Turning around, they both burst out laughing when they saw a tiny ant reflected in the pump's glass, its legs moving frantically.
3. A neighborhood cat had taken a liking to hanging out near the Exxon gas station. Every day, around sunset, it would saunter over to the counter and meow insistently until someone gave it a treat. One evening, an elderly delivery driver arrived just as the sun was setting. The cat started its usual routine, but this time it jumped onto the counter and began batting at his hat. Startled, he knocked over a bottle of windshield wiper fluid, causing everyone to laugh. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ‘Exxon,’ people in the neighborhood thought of that persistent feline and the hapless driver who became its unofficial mascot.
4. At night, while employees were locking up, someone started hearing soft footsteps on the roof of the Exxon station. They checked outside but saw nothing. The next day, security cameras showed only shadows dancing in the moonlight. Finally, a delivery driver noticed that every time he parked near the pumps, his dog would run out and start barking at something invisible behind him. Turned out, the ‘shadows’ were just Rover playing hide-and-seek.
