About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, every morning begins with a routine check of the gas pumps. But one day, a little boy pointed and exclaimed, ‘Dad, look! The pump’s face is smiling!’ His father laughed it off, but soon other customers noticed too—a faint smile seemed to appear on the pump's metal surface. Soon, everyone stopped for gas just to see if the pump was smiling that day. A regular commented, 'Guess it's our lucky station!' Even a delivery driver joked, 'Maybe I should ask for a photo with the smiling pump.' Before long, an old neighbor said proudly, 'I told you so—this place has character!' And indeed, Phillips 66 became known not only for its friendly service but also for its mysteriously grinning gas pump.

2. At Phillips 66, a sign above the cash register reads: ‘If you’re not sure which credit card to use today, just ask for the one that starts with “I”.’ One day, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked the attendant, 'Can I please see the card that starts with “I”?' The attendant smiled and replied, 'Sir, that's our loyalty card—you’ve been coming here so often!'

3. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver always double-checks the hose before filling up. One day, he noticed something odd: the nozzle seemed to be winking at him. Curious, he leaned in closer—only to realize it was just an old, worn-out light bulb reflecting off the sun. The whole place burst out laughing, and from that day on, Phillips 66 became known for its friendly pranks and unexpected twists.

4. At Phillips 66, customers often notice an old man sitting in his car, engine off, watching intently as each pump is filled. ‘Just making sure,’ he says softly, “that no one’s getting more than they paid for.” One day a delivery driver pulls up and asks, ‘Excuse me, sir, how do I fill this thing?’ The old man nods towards the gas gauge and whispers, ‘Just put it where it says.’ After filling up, the driver thanks him and drives away. Later that evening, the old man’s neighbor sees him emerge from Phillips 66 with a full tank—and empty wallet.
