Phillips 66

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, a regular shouted one morning, ‘Hey, look at that!’ Everyone turned to see an old man slowly filling up his truck while humming an unfamiliar tune. Suddenly, another customer yelled, ‘That’s “Imagine” by John Lennon!’ The old man stopped humming and looked around sheepishly before breaking into a broad smile. Everyone laughed good-naturedly as he finished pumping gas and drove off, leaving behind a trail of laughter and music.

2. At Phillips 66, an old man muttered one night as he filled up his car: ‘I swear I saw someone pumping gas backwards.’ The attendant just smiled and nodded, thinking it was another of his stories. Later that week, a delivery driver pulled in and asked for directions. The attendant pointed towards the pumps, saying with a straight face, ‘Just follow the guy filling up behind you.’ Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who thought, ‘Maybe I should get here earlier tomorrow!’

3. At Phillips 66, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Dad, what’s that glowing sign doing in the sky?’ The father smiled down and replied softly, ‘Son, it’s not in the sky—it’s right here on our roadside.’ They both laughed as they walked towards the bright neon Phillips 66 logo illuminating the night. The boy looked up again and asked curiously, ‘But why does it look like it’s floating?’ His dad shook his head with a smile, knowing some things will always be mysterious—even a simple gas station sign.’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Phillips 66 one hot afternoon, cranking his air conditioner full blast. Suddenly, the gas pump started playing a familiar tune—an old country ballad so loud it could be heard throughout the parking lot. The delivery driver looked around, confused and amused. Turns out, an elderly neighbor had programmed her favorite song into the pump’s playlist as a prank. They both laughed until another car honked impatiently from behind.
