About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, everyone noticed how one regular always paid with exactly twenty dollars. No more, no less. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Hey, why does he never use coins or bills smaller than twenties?’ Finally, an old man whispered, ‘He’s my neighbour, and I owe him twenty bucks for helping me fix my car.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes life is just as unpredictable—and funny—as paying for gas.

2. At Chevron, a delivery driver kept arriving just after midnight. Every night, he’d fill up his truck and then quietly leave without paying. One evening, an old neighbor stopped by to chat. ‘You know,’ she said with a twinkle in her eye, ‘I saw that guy filling up again last night.’ They both laughed as they watched him pull away, realizing it was probably the same gallon of gas he had been using for years—free of charge from Chevron.

3. At Chevron, customers began noticing something peculiar during early morning hours. A neighbor would pull up in his old truck every dawn and ask for a specific brand of coffee—only available in bulk bags. The attendant obliged, but each time the neighbor left without buying anything. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver arrived with a huge box labeled ‘Special Blend’. He insisted it was for the mysterious neighbor’s truck. When asked why he’d never seen him before, the driver grinned sheepishly: ‘He’s my uncle, and I always bring him coffee when I deliver here.’ Turns out, Uncle Joe just liked getting free coffee from his nephew’s route.

4. At Chevron, someone started leaving mysterious notes on windshield wipers in the parking lot. Each note read: ‘Fill up your tank before it’s too late.’ One day, a delivery driver found a note that said, ‘Your truck is almost empty—better fill up or else!’ He laughed and drove off, only to realize later his gas gauge was broken. Turns out, everyone had been trying to warn him! Since then, Chevron added a sign: “Warning: Windshield Notes May Be Misleading.”
