About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when EZ-Trip gas station is usually empty, a delivery driver noticed an old man filling up his car with gasoline while humming an unfamiliar tune. The sun had barely risen, and the only other person around was the early morning clerk, who watched curiously as the stranger paid with exact change and left without saying a word. Suddenly, the old man stopped humming, turned around, and asked the clerk in a gravelly voice: ‘Is that your favorite song?’ The clerk stammered, not knowing what to say. Turns out, it was the theme from an obscure 80s sitcom neither of them recognized. From then on, whenever someone mentioned that tune, everyone at EZ-Trip laughed and said it was their secret signal.

2. At dawn, when EZ-Trip gas station is usually empty, a delivery driver noticed an old man fiddling with the cash register. Curious, he approached and asked what the old man was doing. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, ‘Just making sure you’re not cheating on your taxes.’ The delivery driver laughed so hard that he almost forgot why he came here in the first place.

3. At dawn, when EZ-Trip gas station is usually empty, a delivery driver heard something unusual over the loud speaker: ‘If you’re not from around here, please fill up and leave immediately.’ Curious locals started visiting just to see who’d get kicked out next. One day, an old man walked in, filled his tank with a gallon of gas, then calmly left without paying. The manager shrugged and announced over the intercom: ‘If you look like him, feel free to stay as long as you want!’ Since then, EZ-Trip became famous for its weekly ‘Senior Citizen Appreciation Day’.

4. At midnight, when EZ-Trip gas station is usually closed, a delivery driver heard footsteps echoing through the empty lot. Curious, he followed them inside and found an old man refilling the vending machine with snacks. ‘Late night snack attack?’ asked the delivery driver. The man nodded, smiling sheepishly. ‘Just can’t resist those chips,’ he said, then added, ‘and don’t tell anyone, okay? My wife won’t approve.’
