Phillips 66

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, every morning begins with the same routine: a regular fills up his truck and heads out for work. But lately, something strange has been happening. Every time he pulls into the station, his dog starts barking wildly at an empty spot on the wall behind the pumps. Finally, one day, a delivery driver noticed the commotion and asked what was going on. The owner pointed to an old sign above the pumps that read ‘Employees Only.’ Everyone burst out laughing when they realized the dog was just reacting to his reflection in the polished metal sign. Since then, whenever someone mentions Phillips 66, people smile and say, 'That’s where Fido got his first mirror.'

2. At Phillips 66, customers often leave their belongings behind. But one day, an old man approached the counter holding something unusual—a tiny metal robot no bigger than a thumbtack. ‘Found it in my car,’ he said with a smile. Nobody knew where it came from or whose it might be. The clerk took a closer look and laughed, thinking it was some prank. Turns out, it was a prototype for a new self-driving car navigation system that had accidentally been left there by a delivery driver. Since then, whenever someone loses something strange, they joke, ‘Maybe it’s just another Phillips 66 robot!’

3. At Phillips 66, a regular always jokes as he pays for gas: ‘Fill it up like I’ll never drive again!’ A delivery driver once asked for just enough gas to get him through his route, then added with a wink: ‘And maybe one more tankful for good luck!’ The cashier smiled and nodded knowingly—another day, another legend born at Phillips 66.

4. At Phillips 66, dawn breaks early over the pumps. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled in, muttering about the ghostly shapes in his headlights. As he approached the station, he swore he saw an old gas attendant waving from behind the counter. The driver slowed down, but when he got closer, it was just an empty uniform hanging on a hook. With a laugh, he filled up and drove off—only to hear someone yell ‘Fill ’er up!’ from inside the now-closed store.
