About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At True Zero, a regular always walked in with an empty shopping basket. Each day he’d approach the counter and ask for exactly one liter of gasoline—never more, never less. The attendants never questioned it until one morning when they found him standing there, holding two full buckets instead. The attendant smiled knowingly. ‘You’ve been filling up your water tanks again?’
‘Exactly,’ said the man, grinning back.
From then on, whenever anyone asked why someone came in daily with just one litre, everyone at True Zero simply shrugged and replied, ‘Oh, that’s just Bob—he’s got some weird way of keeping track.’
2. At True Zero, during the early morning hours when everyone else slept, a delivery driver would arrive with a peculiar routine. Instead of filling up his tank, he’d ask for just enough gas to make it home—then leave the pump running and disappear into the night. One night, an old neighbor walked by and saw the pump gushing gas into thin air. Curious, she knocked on the door, only to hear a familiar voice from inside: 'Just hold on a sec, ma’am—my truck’s almost full!'
3. At True Zero, every Tuesday night around midnight, a neighbor would quietly pull up on his bicycle, carrying only a flashlight and an old fishing net. He’d slowly get off his bike, mutter something under his breath, then carefully scan the area with his flashlight. Suddenly, he’d throw down the net, scoop up some invisible creature, whisper ‘Gotcha!’ and ride away into the night. It was never clear what he caught or why, but everyone in town just smiled and waved as if it were perfectly normal.
4. At True Zero, on the gas pump handle there appeared a small, handwritten note: ‘Fill your tank with kindness today.’ Drivers shrugged it off as a prank until they noticed their tanks were actually full after pumping nothing. Soon, everyone in town was stopping at True Zero just for fun—some even left extra kindness notes. One day, an out-of-towner asked why his car wasn’t running after filling up. A neighbor grinned and said, ‘You forgot to fill your tank with kindness first!’
