About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Westside Service, every morning begins with the same routine: trucks line up for gas, neighbors chat outside, and a regular named Joe always stops by around 8 AM. But lately, something odd has been happening—Joe’s coffee cup never seems to empty. One day, the station manager finally asks Joe, ‘Aren’t you worried about your caffeine intake?’ With a twinkle in his eye, Joe replies, ‘Just fill it up, I’ll pay later!’ The whole place bursts into laughter, and life at Westside Service goes on as usual.

2. At Westside Service, dawn breaks differently each day. One chilly morning, a delivery driver arrived bundled in layers—until he noticed something odd: the thermometer outside read 98 degrees Fahrenheit. He rubbed his eyes and thought it was some kind of optical illusion, but no—it stayed steady at 98°. The delivery driver laughed, shrugged, and decided to enjoy the unexpected heatwave while filling up his truck. As he drove off, a neighbor waved from their porch, remarking, ‘Must be global warming finally catching up!’

3. At Westside Service, one foggy night, an oil drum mysteriously appeared on the parking lot. No one claimed it, and no one knew how it got there. A delivery driver noticed it first thing next morning—an old oil drum, rusty but intact, sitting right in front of his truck. He shrugged, moved it aside, and went inside for coffee. Later that day, a regular commented jokingly, ‘Looks like someone’s filling up with free gas!’ Ever since then, whenever anyone asked where the mysterious tank came from, they’d just smile and say, ‘Probably from Westside Service—where else would it be?’

4. At Westside Service, customers often joke that the gas pump speaks English. Every time you fill up, it says, ‘Thank you for choosing Westside—come again soon!’ in a friendly voice. One day, an old neighbor pulled up and asked why the pump always thanks him so much. The attendant laughed and said, 'That's because you're our best customer!' Turned out, he was just the only one who ever bothered to press the confirmation button after filling up.
