A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon for gas, he noticed something strange. The pump clicked and whirred in an unfamiliar rhythm—like an old-time music box, not the usual hum of a filling station. Curious, he leaned closer and heard soft tinkling sounds coming from inside the pump. As he watched, the nozzle began gently playing 'Happy Birthday'—over and over again. Turns out, some well-meaning neighbor had programmed it as a surprise for his wife who loved that song. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and drove off, thinking maybe gas stations really do have personalities after dark.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon for gas, he noticed something odd: a small dog kept circling the pump area, sniffing intently at the nozzle. Curious, the driver got out and followed the little fellow. Just as he bent down, the dog lifted his leg and marked the nozzle with a proud ‘claim.’ Turned out it was someone’s pet who knew exactly where to find free snacks—Exxon’s tastiest promotional item: beef jerky.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon for gas, he overheard an old lady muttering something strange in her car next door. "Excuse me, young man," she called out suddenly, 'I think I left my purse here last week—do you suppose it's still sitting on that exact same pump?" The delivery driver smiled and said, ‘Ma’am, it’s been three weeks since then. Let’s hope your purse has found its way home already!’ They both laughed, and the old lady drove off, leaving behind only a faint whiff of mothballs. The driver filled his tank, thinking maybe some stories are better left untold.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon for gas, he noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station's old pump. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a tiny green creature with big round eyes, pumping away diligently. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver gently, ‘do you need help?’ The alien looked up, blinked twice, then calmly replied, ‘Just finishing my shift, thanks!’ And with that, it vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a faint scent of gasoline and pineapple.
