A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another quiet morning at Arco gas station when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual request. He asked the attendant if he could fill his truck with gas… while standing on one leg. The attendant raised an eyebrow but nodded, thinking it was worth trying for a laugh. To everyone’s surprise, the delivery driver filled the tank flawlessly, balancing effortlessly on one leg. As he drove off, he waved and said, ‘See you tomorrow—same time, same leg!’
2. It was an unusually cold autumn night at Arco gas station, when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he filled up his truck, he kept hearing faint laughter coming from inside one of the pumps. Curious, he approached the pump and saw nothing but shadows dancing in the dim light. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Fill me up, big guy!’ Startled, he looked around and saw only an old teddy bear stuck in the nozzle. Shaking his head, he said to himself, ‘Must be that windy night,’ and drove off, leaving behind a smile on his face—and maybe a little gasoline on the bear.’
3. It was a typical Saturday afternoon at Arco gas station when a delivery driver noticed something odd on the signboard: ‘Fill up and win a free coffee for life!’ He filled up, waited eagerly, but nothing happened. The next day, same thing—no coffee. Then one regular joked, ‘Maybe you need to buy ten gallons.’ Since then, everyone has been filling their tanks to the brim every weekend. Finally, after weeks of filling up, someone dared to fill ten gallons—and got a tiny packet of instant coffee! Word spread like wildfire, and now, whenever anyone buys gas, they joke about their chances of winning that mythical free-for-life coffee. At Arco, it’s become part of the weekly ritual—a little friendly competition among neighbors.
4. It was a humdrum Sunday morning at Arco gas station when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he filled up his truck, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside the empty storage shed. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only dusty shelves and old tools. Suddenly, an elderly cat appeared, yawned, stretched, and walked nonchalantly out of the shed. The delivery driver scratched his head and laughed, thinking maybe it was just an early-morning prankster—until his coffee kicked in and he realized the cat had been there all along. "Good ol’ Arco,” he muttered, shaking his head with a smile.
