About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever notice how gas pumps always seem to be talking to each other?’ The next morning, everyone agreed—pumps really did look like they were having conversations. Soon enough, customers started bringing their own microphones and recording these chats. One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe we should start an online podcast!’ And thus, Chevron’s secret life as a gas station full of chatty pumps became internet fame overnight.
2. One morning, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he noticed an odd message on the pump display: ‘Your tank is full of luck today!’ He laughed it off, but every day after that, the same mysterious message appeared. Was it just a quirky glitch, or did Chevron’s pumps really know when your tank was full?’ Finally, one evening, while filling up, a neighbor walked in and asked what all the fuss was about. The driver showed him the screen, and both burst out laughing—turns out, someone had accidentally programmed the pump to say ‘full of love’ instead of ‘luck.’ Since then, everyone jokes that Chevron gives more than just gas.
3. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he noticed an old man standing motionless next to the pump. The old man didn’t move or speak, just stared off into the distance. Curious, the driver asked if everything was okay. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, ‘Just waiting for my reflection to finish pumping gas.’ They both laughed, and from that day on, everyone called him Mr. Mirror.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Chevron for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The hum grew louder, almost like a distant melody, until it stopped abruptly when another car drove in. Finally, an old man walked up and asked what was going on. ‘Just filling up,’ said the driver, ‘but I thought I heard something.’ The old guy smiled and replied, “That’s just my dog whistling for dinner.” And with that, they both laughed, and the delivery driver realized it had been his own stomach making the noise all along.
