At Speedway gas station, a regular asked one morning: ‘Why does that same old truck always pull up right when I’m filling my tank?’ The attendant smiled and shrugged. ‘Ah, that’s our secret delivery guy,’ he said. ‘He knows just how long it takes for your tank to fill.’ The regular shook his head, smiling. ‘Next time I’ll try being on time myself!’

3. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver once pulled up with a puzzled look on his face. He glanced around and said, 'I swear, every time I come here, that same old guy is standing by the pump.' Finally, the driver asked him, ‘Hey, aren’t you retired?’ The man shrugged, smiled, and replied, ‘Nope, just taking an extra-long break.’

The attendant grinned and replied, 'Sure thing, but remember, you’re filling your own tank today!' The driver nodded, paid, and drove off with a smile. Later that evening, as the night shift began, an old neighbor stopped by and said, 'I could use some gas.' The new attendant looked up from his phone and said, 'No problem, sir. Fill her up—or fill someone else's tank—it's your choice!'
