About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sinclair gas station, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. A small dog would appear out of nowhere, sniffing curiously at the pumps before dashing off into the early mist. One day, the delivery driver decided to follow the little dog. It led him through an old alleyway, past the abandoned bakery, until they both ended up at an empty lot filled with weeds. There, nestled under an old tree, was a tiny sign reading ‘Doggy Daycare.’ The delivery driver laughed and said aloud, 'So that's why Sinclair's always so quiet in the mornings!'

2. At Sinclair gas station, one night after closing, an employee heard strange noises coming from the bathroom. Curious but cautious, they peeked inside and saw… nothing. The sounds kept repeating themselves, like someone whispering ‘fill her up.’ Suddenly, a voice said, 'Top off my tank!' The employee looked around confused—no one was there. Then, from behind the counter, a regular customer poked his head out and asked, 'Hey, did you hear that? I always say that when I’m low on gas.' Everyone laughed, and the late-night shift ended with a smile.

3. At Sinclair gas station, a regular asked curiously: ‘Why does the cashier always greet customers with “Welcome to Sinclair—where your car never starts”?’ The cashier smiled and replied, 'Because it's our motto! We want you to feel right at home—even if your car decides to join the family.' The regular nodded knowingly, shaking his head with a smile, as he paid for his gas.

4. At Sinclair gas station, one day after school, a curious kid approached the counter and asked, 'Mister, why do you always say “have a nice trip” when people fill up their tanks?' The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Son, that’s our secret greeting. It means we hope your journey is as smooth and trouble-free as possible.’ The kid nodded thoughtfully, then whispered to his friend, ‘So if they say it every time someone fills up, does that mean they really want everyone to go on trips?’ The whole place burst into laughter, and from that day on, whenever anyone filled up at Sinclair, they’d hear, ‘Have a nice trip!’ even louder than before.
