About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. The sign on the gas pump read, ‘Today’s special: Unlimited refills for everyone who smiles.’ No one had ever seen such an offer before. Curious, the driver decided to give it a try and smiled broadly as he filled up his truck. To his surprise, every customer after him also cracked a smile while pumping gas. By noon, the entire town was smiling—even grumpy old Mr. Jenkins from next door joined in with a rare grin. It turned out that Phillips 66’s manager had just wanted to brighten people’s day.

2. At Phillips 66, a regular asked one day: ‘Why does the gas pump always seem to be whispering?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘It’s not whispering—you’re hallucinating from boredom.’ The regular nodded thoughtfully, then said, ‘Maybe so, but it sure sounds like it’s saying “Fill her up, pal” every time I pull away!’

3. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver one night heard an eerie humming sound coming from the pumps. He shrugged it off until the next morning when everyone in line reported hearing the same noise. Finally, someone suggested that maybe it was just the air conditioning kicking on. They opened the door—nothing. Then, a regular passing by mentioned he’d heard something similar last week while filling up his car. Turns out, it was just the old building’s ventilation system playing tricks on their ears.

4. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver one afternoon overheard a strange announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our gasoline now contains a special ingredient for improved driving pleasure.’ The delivery driver thought it was some kind of prank until he noticed other cars zooming past him like they were on rocket fuel. Smiling, he drove home faster than ever before—only to realize his neighbor had just bought an electric car and was cruising by effortlessly.
