1. At Valero, a regular was filling up when he heard an odd announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, please fill your tank and leave exactly $3.14 on the counter.’ The next day, everyone brought exactly that amount. Soon enough, even deliveries started arriving with exact change—$3.14 in quarters and dimes. One day, a neighbor walked in with a big smile, leaving just one penny more than requested. The Valero clerk grinned back, saying, 'Welcome to our club!'
2. At Valero, a delivery driver pulled in for gas one morning and noticed something strange on the pump display. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked the attendant, ‘but why does it say “Welcome to Mars”?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Ah, that's our secret greeting! Only works early in the morning.' The delivery driver nodded, smiling, thinking it was a cute way to make customers feel special. As he drove off, he waved goodbye, muttering under his breath, 'Good ol’ Valero, always finding creative ways to entertain us!'
3. At Valero, a delivery driver pulled in for gas one morning and noticed that the sign above the pumps read: ‘If you see an angel flying over the highway, don’t worry—it’s just our new winged mascot.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it was some prank. Later that day, he saw a small child pointing up at the sign, whispering excitedly to his mom, ‘Mommy, is that really an angel?’ The mom smiled and replied, ‘No honey, it’s just Valero’s friendly winged helper.’
