7-Eleven

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver asked angrily, ‘Why does it always take so long for gas to pump here?’ Ever since then, customers swear that the pumps at 7-Eleven seem to run slower after midnight. One night, a neighbor complained grumpily, ‘Why do these pumps never work when I’m in a hurry?’ Since then, locals joke that 7-Eleven’s fuel gets programmed to slow down whenever someone really needs to rush off.

2. At midnight, when most gas stations are quiet, a regular noticed something peculiar happening in the reflection of the store’s window: the neon sign above seemed to change colors every few seconds. Curious, he approached closer and saw that it was just an old man inside, adjusting the lights while humming a tune. Turned out he was the night janitor, trying to fix the flickering sign so early birds could find their way. The regular laughed, thinking how sometimes life throws you odd reflections, but with a little patience, everything comes right.

3. At closing time, a clerk overheard a customer muttering under their breath: ‘I swear, every time I come here after dark, the lights flicker like they’re dancing.’ The next day, when the manager checked the lights, everything seemed normal. But as he turned around, he noticed a regular customer winking at him and whispering, 'Just making sure it’s not haunted!'

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he swore he heard whispers coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure rearranging the candy displays. But when morning came, no one else seemed to notice anything amiss. A few days later, while restocking shelves, a regular customer noticed something odd—all the snacks were arranged alphabetically. When asked how it happened, nobody remembered anything unusual. The only clue was a small note on the cash register: ‘Just helping out until closing time.’
