Phillips 66

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the attendant, ‘Why does everyone here seem to know each other’s dogs better than their own names?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Because around here, your dog is the only thing that stays the same every time you come in.’ The delivery driver nodded, laughing, realizing it was true—everyone did seem more familiar with his furry companion than they were with him.

2. A curious tourist stopped by Phillips 66 one afternoon and struck up a conversation with an old timer filling up his car. The local, grinning widely, whispered something about seeing strange lights in the early hours near the gas station. The tourist leaned in closer, eyes wide with curiosity. ‘Really?’ he asked. The old timer nodded knowingly, then pointed towards the empty lot next door and whispered, ‘See that old tire swing? I swear, on quiet nights, it moves by itself.’ They both laughed heartily as the delivery driver pulled up, shaking his head and muttering, ‘These city folk!’

3. At night, when the pumps clicked softly, an old gas station attendant swore he heard whispers coming from behind the neon sign. Nobody else seemed to notice. One evening, a delivery driver asked the old man what those whispers meant. ‘They’re just telling me it’s time for another coffee break,’ chuckled the attendant. The next morning, everyone found him asleep in his chair with a half-empty cup of Joe beside him.

4. At dusk, a small boy walked into Phillips 66, holding his pet hamster in a clear plastic cup. The attendant looked quizzically as the child approached the counter. ‘What can I do for you today?’ asked the attendant with a smile. The boy replied, ‘I’d like to fill up my tank, please.’ The man raised an eyebrow and said, ‘Son, your hamster needs gas too?’ The boy nodded seriously, and they both burst out laughing. As the sun set, Phillips 66 saw another unusual customer leave—with a full tank and a happy hamster.’
