About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BP gas station late one night, a delivery driver growled into his walkie-talkie: ‘I’ve been filling tanks for years here—never seen anything like it.’ Finally, he whispered: ‘There’s an old man standing behind the pump, filling up on memories.’ The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, finishing the tank in record time before dashing off into the night.

2. At BP gas station early morning, a delivery driver unlocked the door and froze—on the counter lay an old, dusty harmonica. Nobody remembered it being there. He picked it up curiously, blew into it—silence. Then, from behind him, a soft voice said, ‘Play something!’ Turning around, he saw only an old man with twinkling eyes, who’d been waiting patiently for his coffee. The delivery driver grinned, took a deep breath, and played a jaunty tune that made everyone in line laugh and clap. From then on, every morning at BP, you could hear the harmonica’s cheerful melody, along with the usual beep of pumps.

3. At BP gas station, an old man approached the attendant and asked, ‘Do you ever notice how the prices always seem to be exactly $3.99?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘That’s just a coincidence.’ But the next day, everyone noticed it again… Soon enough, people started coming in asking if they could buy the exact amount—$3.99 worth of gas each time. A delivery driver even joked, ‘I’m here for my daily fix!’ Eventually, the attendant grinned and said, “It’s not magic—it’s marketing!” And everyone laughed, realizing it was just another clever trick to make us feel like we’re getting a bargain.

4. At BP gas station, an employee heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Fill up my tank… but only with premium fuel.’ When they looked around, no one was there. The attendant shrugged it off until it happened again—this time, a deep voice said, ‘Regular’s fine for now.’ The next morning, everyone in town was talking about it, and soon enough, every customer started hearing whispers on their way out. Finally, an old man approached the counter and asked, ‘Is it true you’ve been hearing voices?’ The attendant nodded sheepishly. The man smiled and replied, ‘That’s because you’re talking to your customers’ minds. Just say hi when someone pulls in!’
