About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Shell, a regular complained one morning: ‘Why does it take longer for my coffee to arrive than for my gas tank to fill?’ Since then, employees joke that the espresso machine must be on a separate fuel line. A delivery driver once quipped, ‘I always know when my order is ready—when everyone else’s cars are full!’ And so, locals now say that if you want your coffee faster, just ask for it in an SUV.
2. At Shell, an old sign above the cash register read: 'If you’re in a hurry, ask for the slowest attendant.' A delivery driver tried it once and found himself chatting about the weather while filling up. A few days later, when a neighbor stopped by to fill his tank, he asked for the slowest attendant too—and ended up sharing stories about their mutual friends until dinnertime. Since then, everyone knows that going to Shell means not just getting gas but also catching up on life’s little details.
3. At Shell, a delivery driver stopped one afternoon and noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Today’s special—pump faster than usual!’ He laughed it off but soon found himself filling tanks quicker than ever before. As he sped through traffic, his neighbor waved frantically from the sidewalk, yelling, ‘Slow down! You’re leaving a trail of gasoline behind you!’ The delivery driver pulled over with a sheepish smile, realizing too late that he was indeed pumping so fast that vapor was streaming out like a comet tail. Back at the station, everyone had a good laugh—and Shell added a new sign: “Pump slower for best results.”
4. At Shell, a delivery driver stopped one afternoon and noticed something odd on the pump display: it kept counting down from random numbers like 987-43 instead of showing prices. Confused, he asked another customer for help, who laughed and explained that it was just an old-fashioned way Shell tested their pumps—by setting them to count backwards! The delivery driver left, shaking his head but smiling, realizing that sometimes life in Shell is as mysterious—and funny—as any urban legend.
