1. At Shell, a regular noticed something odd one morning. While filling up his car, he heard an announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks before midnight tonight—tomorrow we'll be selling only air!’ The next day arrived, and as predicted, the pumps spewed nothing but thin air. The regular drove around for hours, searching for gas. Finally, a delivery driver told him about another station down the road. Relieved, our hero rushed there just in time—to discover that Shell had been pranking everyone with their ‘air-only’ sale.

2. At Shell, while checking out after pumping gas, a regular noticed an unusual item in the shopping cart next to him. A brightly colored rubber ducky sat nonchalantly among bags of groceries. The man picked up the duck curiously and asked the cashier, ‘Is this yours?’ The cashier shook his head with a smile, saying, ‘No sir, it’s ours—free for customers who spend over $50.’ The regular laughed, threw the duck back into the cart, and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll fill up here, I guess.’

3. At Shell, a delivery driver once found a mysterious package in the loading bay. Curious but cautious, he called the manager, who opened it to reveal… nothing inside. Upon closer inspection, the manager shrugged and said, ‘Probably just someone’s prank.’ They both threw away the empty box and went back to work. Since then, whenever anyone mentions Shell, nearby neighbors joke that the station has its own secret mail service!’
