About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the attendant: ‘Why does everyone here always pay in exact change?’ The attendant smiled and whispered, ‘Because if they paid with coins, I’d never hear the end of it from our manager.’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly and quietly added his change to the pile.

2. While filling up one afternoon, an elderly gentleman exclaimed, 'I swear, every time I come here my gas gauge moves backwards!' The attendant just smiled and nodded knowingly. Another customer, a delivery driver, overheard the old man and piped in, ‘That’s because you’re always buying premium, mate—BP rewards you for loyalty!’ Everyone laughed, including the attendant who quietly adjusted the pump to normal mode.

3. While pumping gas one day, a tourist asked the attendant: ‘Why do people always seem so relieved when they fill up their tanks here?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Because every time you fill up, our magic pump adds five minutes to your life!' The tourist laughed and said, 'That’s amazing! I’ll be back soon.' And indeed, he did—every few days for another top-up and another dose of good humor.

4. While pumping gas one night, a young man noticed something strange: the pump seemed to be talking back. Curious, he leaned closer and heard it say, ‘Fill her up or I’ll tell your girlfriend you were here!’ Turns out, an old delivery driver had accidentally programmed his voice into the pump’s menu. The next day everyone in town knew not to trust BP's chatter—especially when they needed gas for their dates.
