About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how gas pumps always seem to be talking to each other?’ The next day, everyone started listening for it. Soon enough, customers were gathering around the pumps, trying to catch every word. One old delivery driver even brought his walkman just in case he missed anything important. Turns out, the only thing they were saying was ‘click-click’ when refilling and ‘beep-beep’ when done—nothing more than mechanical sounds. But by then, everyone had already fallen in love with their little pump chatter.

2. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver once asked the attendant, 'Why do you always seem so happy when I come in?' The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Because every time you come in, you tip me with your stories from around town.’ The delivery driver scratched his head, realizing he’d been entertaining the friendly attendant all along without noticing.

3. At Phillips 66, an old man once asked the cashier, ‘Did you know that every time I fill up here, my car gets exactly one mile per gallon less than last time?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Sir, maybe your car is just getting older like us!’ The old man nodded thoughtfully, paid for his gas, and drove off with a twinkle in his eye. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Phillips 66, people would say, ‘Oh, you mean where the old guy’s car always gets worse mileage?’ And everyone laughed.

4. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver once noticed something odd on foggy mornings. The gas station sign seemed to glow brighter than usual when no one else could see it. One day, an old neighbor stopped in and asked if they had seen any strange lights. Turned out, he was just mistaking his own headlights for the glowing sign! At Phillips 66, sometimes the only thing that’s unusual is your imagination.
