A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Casey's General Store and asked the clerk, ‘Why does everyone here always seem so drowsy?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Oh, they’re not drowsy—just caffeinated!' The delivery driver shook his head in disbelief until he noticed the sign above the counter: "Coffee Strong Enough to Wake the Dead." He laughed and said, 'Now I get it!'

2. One day, while filling up at Casey's General Store, a little boy noticed something odd in the reflection of the gas pump. His eyes widened as he saw an old man waving back at him from behind the glass. The boy looked around nervously but no one else seemed to notice anything unusual. Smiling shyly, the old man waved again before disappearing into thin air. The boy shrugged it off and finished pumping gas, never mentioning his strange encounter to anyone—except maybe his dog who gave him a curious look that evening.

3. While pumping gas at Casey's General Store, a local mechanic kept noticing strange reflections in his car's rearview mirror. Curious, he glanced up just in time to see a tiny figure waving back from behind the store's old-fashioned cash register. The mechanic squinted, rubbed his eyes, and looked again—only to realize it was just an old coin collection glinting in the sunlight. He laughed out loud, shook his head, and went inside for a soda. Later that evening, while paying for his groceries, he noticed the same little figure smiling knowingly from among the change in his pocket.

4. While pumping gas one afternoon, a regular heard an odd announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—our new self-service milkshake machine is now available! Just press any button for your favorite flavor.’ A delivery driver walked up to the counter, confused but intrigued. ‘What’s that noise?’ he asked. The clerk shrugged, ‘Just our latest gadget—they say it mixes shakes while you pump gas.’ After a moment of hesitation, the driver pressed a random button—and out came a strawberry shake dyed neon green. Everyone burst into laughter as he tried explaining it was supposed to be cherry.
