About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was filling up his truck one morning when he noticed something strange: the gas pump started talking in a deep, gravelly voice. 'Fill her up,' it said, and then added, 'Better make it quick—I've got other customers to serve!' The man laughed and filled his tank as quickly as possible. When he looked back, the pump was saying to another customer, ‘Hey, hurry up! I’ve got an oil change appointment in ten minutes!’

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an early bird pulled into the Exxon station for gas. As they pumped petrol, they noticed something odd: every time they filled their tank, the car’s odometer seemed to reset itself. Finally curious, the regular asked a nearby mechanic. With a twinkle in his eye, the old timer replied, ‘Son, that’s no trick of the machine—you just keep filling up on your birthday!’

3. At dusk, while loading up his car with groceries, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the shopping cart next to him. The cart was empty except for a single item—a tiny plastic dinosaur, its eyes glowing faintly in the dim light. Curious, he picked it up and saw that its belly had a small compartment. Inside lay a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Sorry I forgot my dinosaur!’ Below was an address from a nearby neighborhood. Turns out, little Timmy lived just two blocks away.

4. A neighbor stopped by the Exxon station late one night for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he couldn't help but notice that every time he looked in the mirror, the reflection of the attendant seemed to be winking at him. Finally, curious and a bit spooked, our neighbor decided to confront the attendant. The man turned around with a big smile and said, ‘Hey, I was just checking if you needed another towel!’ The neighbor laughed and realized it was just an old joke they’d been playing on regular customers.
