About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he stopped exactly at 8:15 AM, an old man appeared from nowhere and paid for his gas. Curious, the driver started arriving early just to see if anyone would show up again. Months passed, and sure enough—every Monday through Friday, at precisely 8:15 AM, there stood the same kindly-looking old gentleman paying for a tank full of gas with exact change. One day, as they chatted amiably over coffee after filling up, the old man said, 'Son, I’ve been watching you too.' The moral? Sometimes life gives us unexpected friends who fill more than just our tanks.

2. While pumping gas one afternoon, an old lady found something odd in her car’s tank: a tiny plastic dinosaur. Nobody knew whose it was or how it got there. Curious, she asked the attendant if anyone had left anything behind recently. ‘Nope,’ he said with a smile, ‘but maybe that little guy is just visiting from another dimension!’ A few days later, a delivery driver mentioned casually, ‘Hey, I saw your dino-car on social media.’ Turns out, it belonged to his kid who’d accidentally dropped it while filling up.

3. While pumping gas one day, a young man heard an unusual humming noise coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a small golden bee dancing around the cash register. The bee seemed to be attracted by the bright lights and coins jingling in the cash drawer. As the young man watched, mesmerized, an older gentleman approached the counter and asked for gas. The bee buzzed right into his hat, causing him to jump back with a laugh. 'Must be one of those pesky critters,' he said, wiping away a tear. The young man smiled, realizing that maybe life at Exxon wasn’t so dull after all.

4. While pumping gas one evening, a neighborhood dog started barking uncontrollably, pointing its nose towards the pump. No one else seemed to notice. Curious, the attendant looked down and saw nothing unusual—until he noticed a tiny note stuck under the nozzle: ‘Hey, thanks for noticing me! I’m lost.’ Turns out it was just a misplaced pug on a walkabout.
