A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Texaco and noticed an odd sound coming from the pumps. It was like a low humming, almost like a distant drone. Curious, he got out of his truck to investigate... As he approached, he saw a small, glowing creature sitting on top of the pump, its eyes reflecting the neon light. Startled, the driver jumped back into his truck and drove off quickly, leaving behind only a note: 'Dear Manager, please check your pumps for little aliens.' The next day, everyone in town received a friendly message: “Texaco now selling alien-free gas!”

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Texaco and noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the gas station. Curious, he stepped closer, only to see a regular, leaning against the counter, humming along with the same tune. As they both joined in, the song grew louder—and suddenly, the lights flickered on. The regular turned around, smiling sheepishly. 'Forgot I had that old record player,' he said. They ended up chatting late into the night, discovering they lived just blocks apart.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Texaco and asked the attendant, ‘Do you sell moonshine here?’ The attendant just smiled and replied, ‘Only after midnight.’ The delivery driver scratched his head, thinking it over. Just then, an old neighbor walked in and whispered, ‘Trust me, son, if they’re selling moonshine, it’s definitely not past midnight yet!’ They both laughed, and the attendant nodded knowingly as he filled up the tank.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Texaco and sniffed something peculiar—an aroma like freshly baked cookies wafting from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man in a plaid shirt stirring something on the stove. ‘What’s cooking?’ asked the driver. The man smiled and replied, ‘Just some special cookies for my neighbors.’ As it turned out, every late-night visit to Texaco ended with a warm cookie—and that was how everyone in town got to know each other better!’
