A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Exxon, a regular noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a small wooden box with a rusty padlock. Curious, he nudged it with his car tire and found that it opened easily, revealing stacks of old newspapers inside. Curiously, the regular pulled out an old newspaper and flipped through it until he stumbled upon an ad for free oil changes. Smiling, he thought, ‘This must be some clever marketing trick!’ Then he heard a voice behind him: 'Hey, pal, you wouldn’t happen to know where I can find one of those free oil change ads?' Turned out it was just a friendly delivery driver who’d missed his own coupon.

2. One day, while pumping gas at Exxon, a regular heard an odd announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention please—we’ve just run out of everything except for one gallon of premium.’ So everyone gathered around, staring at that lone gallon like it was the last slice of pie. A delivery driver joked, ‘I’ll take it!’ and the cashier replied, ‘Sorry sir, that’s our only customer today.’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing how absurdly lucky—or unlucky—they were. The regular smiled, knowing he’d tell this story again next time he filled up.

3. While filling up at Exxon, a regular found a mysterious package left on the pump handle. Curious, he opened it to discover… nothing inside. Curious, he opened it to discover… nothing inside. Confused, he shrugged and threw it in his car’s trunk. Months later, while unpacking old stuff, he stumbled upon an identical package—this time with a note: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience. Happy you didn’t report us.’

4. While pumping gas at Exxon, a regular discovered a strange note taped inside the pump handle: ‘Fill your tank and win a free trip!’ But there was no phone number or website. A delivery driver filled up his truck, drove off—and never came back. Months later, someone noticed the same note still stuck inside the pump. Turned out it was just an old advertisement from the 90s that nobody bothered to remove.
