A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco, a regular shouted one day, ‘I’m gonna fill up with gas and never leave!’ Ever since then, everyone swears they see him sitting in the backseat of his car, pumping away. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked for a top-up. As he filled his tank, he noticed an old man waving from inside the car. Thinking it was just another prank, he shrugged it off. Months later, whenever anyone mentioned Sunoco, that same voice would whisper, ‘Fill ’er up again…’ Turned out, the old man had been dozing off while listening to his favorite radio show.

2. At night, a delivery driver passing by Sunoco noticed something strange—a soft humming sound like distant bees. Curious, he pulled over for a closer look. As he approached, the humming grew louder and seemed to come from inside one of the tanks. Peering through the fence, the driver saw a small, glowing creature buzzing around the pump. Startled, he drove off quickly, leaving behind only a note on the windshield: 'Dear Sir/Madam, please check your bee tank!'

3. At Sunoco, a delivery driver noticed an oddity in the parking lot—an old, dusty board game left behind among the trash cans. Curious, he picked it up and found that it was an ancient Monopoly set, complete with faded tokens and crumpled money. Over time, other employees joined him for impromptu games during slow shifts, rekindling a sense of community around the gas station. Eventually, a local retiree recognized the game and donated his own collection, turning Sunoco into the unofficial neighborhood hangout.

4. At Sunoco, a delivery driver passing by noticed something peculiar—a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting from inside. Curious, he parked his truck and peered through the window, only to see an elderly gentleman in overalls mixing dough with a big smile on his face. Turns out, it was just Mr. Jenkins, a neighborhood retiree who volunteered there once a week to bake treats for customers. The delivery driver walked away shaking his head, muttering, ‘Now that’s what I call gas station perks!’
