1. At Speedway gas station, a regular shouted one night as he filled up his truck: ‘I swear, every time I come here, my tank’s fuller than when I left!’ The rest of us just shook our heads and smiled. Another customer, a delivery driver, overheard him and laughed: ‘That’s because you always drive like a maniac and burn half your fuel on the way here!’ Everyone cracked up, including the regular, who blushed and muttered something about needing coffee.

2. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning while filling up his truck. The pump clicked off before it should have, and when he looked closer, he saw a small, mischievous squirrel scurrying away with a packet of snacks. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was just another quirky Speedway story. Later that day, as he left, he caught sight of an old man refueling his car. ‘That little critter must be your mascot,’ said the neighbor jokingly. With a smile, the attendant shook his head: ‘Nope, he’s our unofficial snack thief!’
