A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Pemex gas station late one night, an employee heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill my tank with stars tonight.’ The next morning, everyone found little bottles of glitter in their cars. Curious, the worker checked the surveillance tape and saw only a shadowy figure disappearing into the night. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the strange incident, a regular would joke, 'Maybe it was just Pemex’s way of saying “top off”!'

2. At Pemex gas station, a little boy approached the counter with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Mama,’ he whispered, pointing towards the pump, ‘why is that hose talking to itself?’ The attendant smiled and replied, "Oh, that's just old Pablo, son. He’s been talking to pumps longer than I've been working here." The boy looked confused for a moment before breaking into a wide smile, realizing it was just an old gas station handyman, a regular fixture at Pemex, who liked to keep the pumps company during slow days.

3. At Pemex gas station, a delivery driver stopped for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he noticed an old man walking towards him, muttering something under his breath and carrying a large box. The delivery driver smiled curiously as the old man approached, still mumbling. Suddenly, the man tripped on his own feet, sending the box flying into the air like a magic trick. The box opened mid-air, revealing nothing but a bag of groceries and a smile from the old man. 'Forgot my shopping,' he said with a laugh, picking up the items. ‘Thanks for reminding me!’

4. At Pemex gas station on a stormy midnight, a lone delivery driver pulled up for a quick fill-up. As he stood under the flickering neon light, something caught his eye in the reflection of the pump's glass cover. In the reflection, he saw an old man waving frantically from behind the counter. ‘What’s wrong?’ asked the puzzled driver. The cashier grinned, ‘Just wanted to make sure you’re not stealing gasoline!’ Turned out, the neon light had distorted his image, and everyone had a good laugh.
