About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Astro gas station, a regular shouted one morning: ‘Hey, did you see that tanker’s reflection in the pump?’ Since then, everyone swears they can spot ghostly images flickering behind the pumps during early mornings. One night, a delivery driver joked, ‘I saw Santa Claus delivering presents from that tanker!’ The next morning, everyone was trying to catch him again—only to discover it was just an oversized reindeer costume. Laughs echoed through the parking lot as the Astro crew realized their morning spectacle was actually a friendly neighborhood prankster.

2. At the Astro gas station, a delivery driver once asked, ‘Why does the pump always say I owe money when I fill up for free?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Because, my friend, you’re filling up with cosmic fuel—your balance is always off-kilter!’ A regular passing by chimed in, ‘Yep, that’s why they never run out of customers here—they keep everyone in debt to the stars.’

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old man appeared at the Astro filling up his car. As he paid for the gas, he noticed something odd: every fifth gallon cost exactly five cents less than it should. Curious, our regular asked the cashier about it. The young attendant shrugged and said, ‘Must be a glitch in the computer.’ The next morning, the same thing happened again—until finally, someone from headquarters came to fix the issue. When they left, the old man smiled knowingly and whispered to himself, ‘Five cents here, five cents there… pretty soon you’re talking real money!’

4. At the Astro gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom: ‘Mom, look! The pump is talking!’ The mother smiled and leaned in closer, listening intently. Suddenly, everyone around heard it too—a soft, robotic voice coming from the nozzle: 'Fill me up with love today!' Turns out, an old delivery driver had accidentally left his voice recorder on while filling up.
