About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk in the Walmart parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A lone shopping cart seemed to be rolling on its own, slowly making its way toward the gas pumps. Curious, he followed it with his flashlight until it stopped right next to an old man filling up his truck. Turns out, the guy had accidentally left his cart running while pumping gas. Everyone got a good laugh, and from then on, whenever someone saw that cart, they’d wave and say, ‘Hey, neighbor!’

2. At closing time, an employee heard a strange humming sound coming from the fuel pumps area. Curious, he approached and found nothing out of place—until he smelled fresh-baked cookies wafting through the air. Curious, he peered closer and saw, amidst the pipes and valves, a small oven with the door ajar. Inside were trays of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. A delivery driver passing by explained it was his weekly tradition: leaving treats for anyone who might be working late. The employee grinned, took a cookie—and promptly got a high-five from a surprised neighbor who’d been filling up next door.

3. At midnight, a neighbor driving home saw something peculiar: a lone shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle of the Walmart fuel station. Curious, she slowed down and watched as the cart approached the gas pumps. To her surprise, it stopped right next to an old delivery driver who was just finishing his fill-up. He smiled and said, ‘Thanks for waiting, sonny.’ The neighbor shook her head and drove off, muttering, ‘I’ll never look at those shopping carts the same way again!’

4. At night, while filling up at the Walmart gas pump, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I just saw that same old pickup truck pull away three times already.’ Finally, after pumping his gas, the regular walked over to the truck and asked the driver, ‘Hey, do you mind if I follow you? This place is giving me some serious deja-vu.’ The delivery driver turned around with a smile and said, ‘No worries, buddy—this is my first time here too!’
