About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Valero gas station late one night, a delivery driver asked an unusual question: ‘Why does that old lady always pay with pennies?’ The attendant shrugged and said, 'Who knows? Maybe she’s just saving up for something big.' The next day, he found out she was buying a lottery ticket worth millions—paid in pennies!'
2. At Valero gas station, early in the morning, a sleepy attendant heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Does anyone here know how to fix a broken heart?’ The attendant looked around confused but didn’t see anyone. Then he shrugged and replied into the intercom: 'Ma’am, I’m sorry, but I only know how to change tires and fill tanks.' A few minutes later, an old lady walked up to the counter smiling. 'Thank you,' she said. 'I needed someone who wouldn’t take my question seriously.'
3. At Valero gas station, someone left behind a strange item on the counter one rainy afternoon. A curious attendant picked it up and found himself holding a tiny umbrella that never seemed to open fully. As he held it, the umbrella started gently humming, and when he turned around, everyone in line had grown slightly shorter—just a bit, like they were standing under a miniature rain cloud. The attendant shrugged, smiled, and placed it back where he found it with a note: ‘For whoever needs an extra little boost today.’
4. At Valero gas station, a sign above the cash register read: ‘If you see UFOs, fill ’em up—we accept alien currency.’ One night, a regular stopped by and asked for change for a Martian dollar. The attendant smiled and replied, 'We don’t have that here, but how about some Earth dollars?' The man pulled out an old coin purse and said, 'I’ve got plenty of Plutonian pennies.' They both laughed, and soon enough, the delivery driver was on his way with a full tank and a bag of alien coins as souvenirs.
