About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Safeway Fuel Station, he noticed an unusual sign on the pump: ‘Fill your tank and win a free coffee!’ Curious, he filled up—and heard a voice over the loudspeaker: “Congratulations! Your gas has been prepaid for life!” The delivery driver looked around, confused, but no one else seemed to hear anything. Smiling sheepishly, he drove off, only to return later that day with his friend, a regular who always complained about high gas prices. They both filled up, and again they heard the same voice: 'Your gas is now prepaid forever!' The two friends laughed so hard they almost spilled their free coffees.
2. One day, while filling up at Safeway Fuel Station, a regular heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks before midnight tonight—tomorrow we’ll be selling only air!’ Curious, our regular filled his tank and rushed home just in time. His neighbor, hearing the same announcement, calmly drove through without stopping. The next morning, everyone lined up at Safeway to buy air—but found out it was simply a prank by the station’s friendly delivery driver who loved practical jokes.
3. At dawn, a delivery driver approached Safeway Fuel Station and stopped abruptly. The nozzle in the pump seemed to move ever so slightly, almost like it had a life of its own. Curious, he leaned closer—only for the nozzle to spray him with a jet of gasoline, leaving him drenched but laughing. A regular passing by exclaimed, ‘You look like you just won the rain lottery!’
4. At dusk, a neighbor walked into Safeway Fuel Station with a puzzled expression on his face. ‘I just saw something strange,’ he said. ‘What’s that?’ ‘I just saw something strange,’ he said. ‘What’s that?’ The attendant pointed towards an old man slowly filling up his car, humming an unfamiliar tune. ‘Oh, that’s Mr. Johnson,’ he replied nonchalantly. ‘He always does that.’ The neighbor scratched his head and asked, ‘Doesn’t he know it’s dark out?’ The attendant smiled, ‘Nah, he thinks it’s high time for his nightly serenade.’
