It’s become a friendly neighborhood tradition.

Suddenly, the machine spit out a crumpled receipt reading: ‘Thank you for using our Coin-Operated Memories Service.’ Everyone in line burst into laughter as the delivery driver sheepishly explained that he was just checking if it worked. The manager shook his head and said, 'Welcome to Shell, where nostalgia meets gasoline!'
