About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular noticed something peculiar one morning as he filled up his truck at Posto São Marcos. Among the usual bottles of water and snacks on the counter lay an old, dusty tin canister with no label or markings. Curious, he picked it up and gave a gentle shake—nothing but rustled air inside. A delivery driver passing by overheard him and joked, ‘That’s probably last year’s coffee stash!’ They both laughed, and soon enough, the canister became part of their morning ritual—a little mystery to break the monotony. The regular even named it ‘São Marcos’ Special Blend.’
2. One foggy night, a delivery driver pulled up to Posto São Marcos and switched off his headlights. As he pumped gas into his truck, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the window—and saw no one. The humming grew louder, and then a voice whispered, ‘Fill her up!’ Startled, the driver turned around—only to see an old man waving from behind the counter. The cashier grinned and said, “I’ve been here since closing time, waiting for someone like you.” The delivery driver laughed, paid for the gas with a tip, and drove off into the fog, leaving Posto São Marcos to its late-night rituals.
3. One rainy afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Posto São Marcos for a quick fill-up. As he stepped inside, he noticed an old umbrella leaning against the counter—with a note attached: ‘Take it if you need it.’ The driver took the umbrella, shrugged, and said aloud, 'Who knows when I'll need it?' Little did he know that very evening, while delivering packages in the pouring rain, his car broke down right outside Posto São Marcos again. A friendly neighbor walked over with another spare umbrella and smiled, 'Looks like you're due for another visit!'
4. While filling up his car late one night, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘Why does it always rain when I’m here?’ Just then, an old lady in her car honked and waved, yelling, 'Hey, kid! Don't you know that gas stations don't dry out when it rains?' The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and replied, 'Ma'am, I've been coming here for years—this place never fails to surprise!'
