A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Mobil station’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old thermos filled with freshly brewed coffee and a note reading: ‘Thanks for always filling our tank.’ Turns out, it was from a grateful neighbor who appreciated their consistent service.

2. At dusk, an old man parked his car near the Mobil gas station and stepped out. Suddenly, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the pump. Curious, he approached the pump and peered inside. To his surprise, a tiny bluebird was perched on the nozzle, singing along with the hum. The old man laughed and said, ‘Well, little fellow, you’ve picked quite the unusual place for your concert!’ He took a photo of the birdie and posted it online, becoming the talk of the town that day.

3. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station for a quick fill-up. As he walked inside, he nearly tripped over a small cardboard box left on the counter. Curious, he picked it up—it contained a dozen fresh cookies with a note reading: ‘For you, from someone who appreciates your hard work.’ Smiling, he took a cookie and popped it into his mouth. Just then, an old man hobbled out of the backroom, muttering under his breath. 'Finally!' he said, 'Someone finally appreciated my little gesture.' Turns out, the old man had been leaving those mysterious boxes of cookies every night for months—just to see the smile on that delivery driver's face.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station for a quick break. ‘Hey,’ he whispered, glancing around nervously, ‘do you guys ever see that old lady filling her tank with moonlight?’ The attendant shrugged, smiling slightly. ‘Oh yeah, she comes every full moon.’ They both chuckled as another trucker approached the counter. ‘Better get inside,’ the first driver said, pointing towards the office. ‘She’s been known to wave hello to everyone but only talk to the night shift!’
