About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet morning at the Exxon station when a delivery driver pulled up in his truck. As he unloaded crates of snacks into the storage room, he noticed something odd—an old newspaper clipping taped inside one box. Curious, he picked it up and saw an old advertisement for ‘World’s Best Coffee’ with a phone number scribbled on the back. Thinking nothing of it, he threw it away. Later that day, while making coffee for customers, he accidentally dialed the number—and found himself chatting with a long-lost friend from high school who lived right next door. Turns out, the old clipping had been someone's personal memento.

2. At the Exxon gas station, a regular was filling up his car one evening when he overheard an unusual conversation between two employees. ‘Did you hear?’ said one, ‘that our new pump can tell if your tires are properly inflated? If not, it’ll beep until you fix it.’ The regular chuckled and decided to test it out himself. As soon as he drove away, the pump started beeping frantically. Confused, he pulled back in, only to see that his tire had been flat for months! The employee laughed, saying, ‘Welcome to the future—where pumps know more than drivers!’

3. At the Exxon gas station, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old teddy bear wearing a tattered nametag that read ‘Property of Mr. Johnson.’ Turns out, it belonged to a little girl next door who had accidentally left it there days ago. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how nice it was to see someone so happy over such a small thing.

4. At the Exxon gas station, a delivery driver glanced at the big screen above the pumps. Suddenly, an announcement crackled through: ‘Attention, customers! Due to a technical glitch, our prices are now permanently set at zero dollars.’ Customers rushed outside, filling their tanks for free. A regular stopped his car and asked curiously, 'Hey, isn’t that illegal?' The delivery driver grinned, shrugged and replied, 'Who cares? It’s only temporary!' And indeed it was—until someone noticed the cash register wasn’t working either.
