A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, a regular customer noticed something odd one morning. While filling up his truck, he spotted an old, rusted keychain on the pump handle. Curious, he picked it up—and every day after that, more appeared: keys from cars long gone, coins too worn to spend, and even a small toy dinosaur or two. Soon enough, people started dropping by just to see what new treasures would appear next. One day, a delivery driver found an ancient coin so worn out, it looked like it had been buried for centuries. A neighbor discovered a tiny plastic guitar—complete with missing strings—that must’ve belonged to someone’s lost pet dinosaur. And then, one fateful morning, a little girl picked up a sparkly unicorn figurine… only to realize it was actually a rusty old screwdriver.

2. At Conoco, a delivery driver once asked angrily, ‘Why does my gas always smell like popcorn?’ The manager calmly replied, ‘Sir, our gas is blended with a special additive that gives it a unique scent—like freshly popped corn.’ The delivery driver scratched his head and said, ‘That explains why I can never resist stopping for a snack on the way home!’

3. At Conoco, a delivery driver pulled up one afternoon with a puzzled look on his face. As he approached the pump, he exclaimed, 'I swear, every time I fill up here, my truck talks back!' Curious, the station attendant walked over and asked what was going on. The driver shrugged, ‘Each time I put gas in, it’s like my truck says “Thanks, but I’m full!” and clicks off the nozzle.’ They both laughed, realizing it was just an old truck trying to tell him something—maybe it needed maintenance or maybe it was just talking back after years of loyal service. Either way, Conoco became known for its chatty trucks, attracting curious drivers from miles around.

4. At Conoco, a delivery driver pulled up one day and exclaimed, 'This pump is talking to me!' The attendant just smiled and nodded, knowing better than to ask any questions. The next day, another driver approached the same pump and asked, ‘Does it always talk?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Only when it’s really thirsty.’
