About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the Shell station’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill her up with stars tonight.’ No one knew whose voice it was or why, but soon every tanker truck driver passing through started whispering about it. One old delivery driver, leaning on his truck, whispered to a neighbor late one night: 'You know, I never paid attention until last week—my gas gauge reads full even after filling up!' The neighbor chuckled and replied, 'Guess you’re getting more than just fuel here.'
2. At night, when the Shell station’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a mysterious voice began crackling over the intercom. ‘Fill up your tank,’ it said, ‘and don’t forget to ask for a free cupcake!’ One evening, an elderly neighbor pulled up and asked curiously, 'What's with the cupcakes?' The attendant grinned, 'Just our little secret!' Months later, everyone knew—except the delivery driver who brought them.
3. At dawn, when the Shell station's pumps were the only sound on the deserted highway, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas prices seemed to change every time he looked away. Curious, he glanced back just in time to see the price drop from $99.99 to $0.01. Smiling, he filled up and drove off, muttering, ‘Finally, a good deal on gas!’ Only later did he realize that his neighbor had been standing nearby with an empty tank and a mischievous grin.
4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to the Shell station and asked the attendant, ‘Why does your gas pump always whisper my name?’ The attendant just smiled and replied, ‘It’s not us—it’s you.’ The delivery driver scratched his head, puzzled. Over the next few days, he kept hearing it—whispering softly each time he filled up. Finally, one evening, as they were closing, he asked the attendant again. With a twinkle in his eye, the attendant said, ‘Sir, maybe it’s because every time you come, you’re “almost full”.’ They both laughed, and the whispering continued—but now, everyone knew it was just good old-fashioned banter between friends.
