About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a little boy walked into an Exxon station and asked the attendant, ‘Why does that truck always honk its horn three times when it pulls up?’ The worker shrugged, curious himself. The attendant smiled and replied, 'That's because it's our way of saying hello.' A few minutes later, a delivery driver pulled up, honking exactly three times. The kid turned around and said proudly, 'See? I told you so!'

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon pump one morning, frowning as he looked around. ‘Why,’ he wondered aloud, ‘does every time I fill up here my car seems to drive better than usual?’ Finally, a curious mechanic decided to check the tank after each fill-up. To everyone’s surprise, there was no gas inside—just a note scribbled on a piece of paper: 'Exxon: We believe in you!' The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, realizing that sometimes believing in something good can make your day—and maybe even your engine—run just a little bit smoother.

3. A neighbor stopped by the Exxon station late one night, puzzled. ‘Why does every full tank of gas cost exactly $3.14?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Sir, it's because our tanks are π-full!' The neighbor nodded, scratching his head, and said, 'Ah, I see now—you're using radians instead of degrees.' Everyone had a good laugh, and the neighbor left with a newfound appreciation for both math and gas prices.

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon pump, confused by the sign that read: ‘Fuel Today: Friendly Service Guaranteed—Ask for Joe.’ As he approached the counter, he asked, 'Excuse me, where’s Joe?' A regular standing nearby chimed in, 'Oh, Joe? He’s on vacation until further notice.' The driver sighed and said, 'Great, now what do I do?' The friendly clerk smiled and replied, 'Just fill ’er up, sir, and don’t forget to ask for anyone else you see!'
