A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and asked the clerk, ‘Why do you always turn off the lights when I’m filling my tank?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, it’s not that I want to turn off the lights—my cat keeps stealing your change from under the counter!' The delivery driver laughed heartily and said, 'Guess I'll just have to keep an eye on him next time.'

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the convenience store and yelled into the dark: ‘Hey, anyone here? I’m out of Diet Coke!’ Inside, an old man appeared from behind the counter, scratching his head. 'Diet Coke?' he asked. 'We stopped carrying it in 1987.' The delivery driver looked around, realizing everyone else was asleep or gone. With a sigh, he wrote down 'No more Diet Coke needed' on his list and drove off into the night.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and noticed something odd on the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, with no return address. Curious, he opened it to find… a bag of chips and a note that read: ‘Thanks for always being here!’ Turns out, it was from his neighbor who thought the store was closed.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and scanned the empty parking lot. Suddenly, he heard a voice whispering from inside the store: ‘Hey, can you get me some milk?’ Curious, the driver walked into the store, only to see an old man standing by the cash register. ‘Milk?’ asked the man with a twinkle in his eye. ‘You’re not supposed to be here,’ replied the driver, smiling. The old man winked back, ‘Just helping myself to a midnight snack.’ They both laughed, and the driver shook his head, thinking, ‘Another regular’.
