7-Eleven

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while filling up at 7-Eleven’s gas pump, a regular noticed something odd on the cash register screen: ‘Welcome back, Mr. Smith.’ But there was no Mr. Smith—just him and his truck. Since then, everyone has joked that maybe Mr. Smith lives in another dimension, refueling here between dimensions. Finally, one evening a delivery driver asked curiously, 'Hey, Mr. Smith never tips!' The cashier grinned, shrugged, and replied, 'Must be from another currency.'

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled into 7-Eleven for coffee and noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘Gas Now Free for Regular Customers.’ Curious, he asked the clerk, ‘What does that mean?’ The clerk shrugged and said, ‘It means today only, if you fill up here, your next order will be half price!’ The delivery driver thought it was too good to be true, so he filled his tank and left. Later that day, when he returned for his usual snack, he found out that not everyone qualified—only those who had bought gas earlier that morning. Feeling slightly cheated but amused, he shared the story with his neighbors over coffee at another 7-Eleven. Since then, whenever someone mentions free gas, they laugh and say, 'Oh yeah, that old 7-Eleven trick!'

3. While browsing through the aisles of 7-Eleven one day, a neighbor picked up a package of gum and noticed something strange—inside was a tiny note with just two words: ‘Pay attention.’ Curious, he opened another pack only to find a piece of paper reading, ‘Now you’re paying attention.’ Later that night, while watching TV, his wife asked, ‘Did you get those gum notes?’ He replied sheepishly, ‘Just ignore it,’ as he quickly stuffed the next note into his pocket—this one said, “And stop chewing so loudly!”

4. While pumping gas at dusk, a delivery driver heard an eerie announcement over 7-Eleven’s intercom: ‘Attention, please return your flying saucer to the alien life forms section.’ Confused and amused, he looked around but saw no one. Just as he was about to laugh it off, another voice chimed in: 'And don’t forget to pick up some Slurpees on your way out!' The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and drove away, wondering if maybe aliens had a thing for caffeine too.
