A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Smith’s Fuel Center, customers often noticed an odd occurrence late at night. A little boy, no older than five, would appear near the pumps, pointing excitedly at the glowing neon sign above. The employees tried ignoring him, but whenever they looked up, he’d vanish into thin air. One night, a delivery driver saw the boy and waved cheerfully. ‘Hi there!’ he called out. To everyone else, the boy was gone—just another ghost story. But the driver kept waving, until finally, the neon sign flashed: ‘WAVING BACK!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had been a friendly prank all along.
2. At Smith’s Fuel Center, one morning a delivery driver found something unusual in his truck bed—a small, dusty teddy bear wearing an old-fashioned hat. The delivery driver picked up the bear, scratched his head and said, ‘Well, I guess today isn’t just any ordinary fuel run.’ He took it inside, where a regular asked curiously, ‘What’s with the bear?’ The driver shrugged and replied, ‘No idea, but maybe he’s here for gas too!’
3. At Smith’s Fuel Center, after dark, employees began hearing strange announcements over the PA system. ‘Please fill your tank with moonlight—full service only,’ it would say, before fading into static. One night, a delivery driver asked curiously, "What does ‘moonlight’ cost?" The voice replied, 'Same as always, sir—just bring your credit card.' Everyone laughed until they realized the PA was still on. Turns out, it was just an old joke from the owner’s nephew.
4. At Smith’s Fuel Center, a delivery driver once discovered a mysterious package tucked inside a fuel pump nozzle. Curious, he opened it to find… a note that read: ‘Fill up with kindness today!’ Inside was a small bag of candy for his kids. Turns out, it was a prank from a friendly neighbor who wanted everyone to have a sweet day.
