A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the GetGo gas station closed its doors, something peculiar began happening. A little boy, playing nearby, would often stop mid-game whenever he heard the distant hum of an old engine. Curious, he’d peer through the darkened windows and see—nothing but empty shelves and quiet aisles. One night, a delivery driver noticed the boy waving from inside the station. Smiling, he slowed down his truck and saw that the kid was holding a flashlight, pointing it towards the pumps. ‘Do you need gas, son?’ asked the driver. The boy nodded enthusiastically, so the driver filled up the air in the ghostly tanks instead. When morning came, everyone laughed—they were all full of hot air!’

2. One morning, a delivery driver groaned as he pulled into the GetGo parking lot. ‘Why does it always rain on me?’ he muttered, glancing up at the sky and then down at his soaked uniform. Just then, an old man in a plaid shirt walked out of the station with a cup of coffee. 'Morning, young'un,' he said, nodding towards the puddle-soaked driver. 'At least you got here before your truck did.' The driver laughed, shaking water from his hat. That’s why I come here—even when it rains, someone’s always there to make me feel like part of the family.'

3. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the GetGo convenience store. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed a strange glow coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a clerk dancing around with a broom, humming some old tune. ‘What on earth?’ thought the driver. Turns out, it was just Friday night, and GetGo had their monthly dance party—only this time, everyone forgot to tell him.’

4. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the GetGo convenience store. As he unlocked his truck, he noticed something odd—a strange package wrapped in brown paper sat on the passenger seat. Curious, he opened it to find a note reading: ‘Fill up my tank and I’ll give you a free coffee.’ Inside was a crumpled dollar bill and a smiley face drawn in marker. The delivery driver laughed, filled up the tank, and left with a warm feeling, knowing that sometimes kindness comes from unexpected places.
