About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Conoco, an old man asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever notice how the gas pump always stops exactly on even dollars when I’m buying?’ The cashier smiled and shrugged. 'Maybe it’s a conspiracy,' she said with a wink. The old man nodded knowingly, paid for his gas, and drove off. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned that strange phenomenon, someone would whisper, ‘Asked Conoco, got even!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Conoco one afternoon, frowning as he eyed the long queue of cars. Just then, someone shouted from inside: 'Hey, you forgot your smile!' The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and turned back to his truck. As he drove off, someone called out again, ‘And don’t forget to wave!’ That evening, a regular stopped by and asked if they’d heard about the smiling delivery guy. The clerk grinned and replied, ‘He’s been coming here ever since—always with a big grin and a friendly wave.’

3. One day, while pumping gas at Conoco, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the pump display: it kept flashing ‘Coffee for sale—$1.’ Curious, he bought some, and sure enough, a paper cup appeared from nowhere. The delivery driver told his colleagues, who decided to test their luck too. Soon, everyone in the neighborhood was stopping by Conoco not for gas but for free coffee. The manager shrugged and said, 'Well, if people want coffee more than gas these days...'

4. While pumping gas at Conoco, a young woman noticed that her reflection in the pump seemed to change every few seconds—one moment she looked serious, then suddenly smiling and waving. Curious, she mentioned it to an old delivery driver who just shook his head and said, ‘That’s Sally, the ghost of the old owner. She waves goodbye to everyone when they leave.’ The next day, the woman came back with her camera, only to capture Sally waving hello—and smiling right back at her.
