About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station’s neon sign flickered, a little boy would run into the convenience store and whisper excitedly to his mother, ‘Mom, look! The gas pump eyes follow us!’ One evening, an old lady approached the cashier, frowning slightly. ‘Excuse me,’ she said, pointing at one of the pumps, ‘why does that gas pump keep nodding its head at me?’ The cashier smiled knowingly, replying with a wink, ‘Oh, ma’am, it’s just Mr. Shell having a good day!’

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an odd message scribbled on the gas pump: ‘Fill up your tank, but don’t forget to check your engine light.’ Curious customers started seeing similar notes everywhere—until they realized it only appeared after midnight. Finally, one night, a neighborhood mechanic decided to stay awake and catch the culprit. In the early hours, he saw an old man with a flashlight fixing something under the pumps. The next day, everyone found a note: 'Your engine light is off—thanks for stopping by!' Turns out, it was just an eccentric retiree who loved tinkering.

3. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Shell station for a quick fill-up. As he approached the pumps, he noticed something strange—a small plastic dinosaur had appeared in one of the empty gas cans. The driver laughed it off, thinking maybe a prankster was having fun with him. He filled his tank and drove away, leaving the dinosaur behind. Later that day, as he parked near his apartment, he heard a familiar roar coming from inside—his neighbor’s new pet dinosaur had escaped again.

4. One day, while pumping gas, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he filled up, the price seemed to change mid-pump. Curious, he stopped mid-fill and looked at the pump’s display—only to see it flicker between two different prices. Shrugging it off as a glitch, he finished up and drove away. Later that week, his neighbor pulled in for a fill-up too. ‘Hey,’ she said, grinning, ‘looks like Shell has a new promotion!’
