A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while filling up at Texaco, a regular asked the cashier: ‘Do you ever get tired of seeing the same stars outside?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Not really, sir. I just appreciate that they never charge extra for more skytime.’ The regular laughed heartily, realizing he’d been had—again.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Texaco and noticed something strange—every time he filled his truck, the gas gauge on his dashboard would jump up exactly three quarters of a tank. Curious, he mentioned it to a neighbor who happened to be an old mechanic. The guy laughed and said, ‘That’s no mystery—it’s just your truck compensating for being so close to Texaco!’ And sure enough, after filling up elsewhere, everything went back to normal.

3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled into Texaco for gas, he spotted an old, dusty guitar leaning against the pump. Curious, he picked it up—it played itself, humming an unfamiliar tune. Smiling, the driver strummed a few more notes before realizing that the song was about his own life—only better and funnier. He drove off, whistling happily, leaving behind a puzzled attendant who found a note on the counter: ‘Thanks for the best tank of gas ever!’

4. One day, a delivery driver pulled into Texaco to fill up. As he walked past the convenience store, he noticed an old, dusty guitar case on the counter. Curious, he picked it up—and inside was a note reading: ‘Take me home.’ He played the first chord and out came an old folk tune nobody had heard in ages. The whole place started singing along—even the cashier joined in! Turns out, it was just an old neighborhood favorite, but that day, everyone left feeling like they’d found something special together.
