About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at BP, and an old man in a plaid shirt was filling up his truck. Suddenly, he noticed something strange—every time he paid for gas, the cashier seemed to recognize him from somewhere familiar. Finally, curiosity got the better of him. ‘Hey,’ he asked the cashier one day, ‘do I know you?’ The cashier smiled warmly and replied, ‘No sir, but you remind me of my grandfather.’ The old man laughed and said, ‘Well, that’s nice!’ From then on, whenever he filled up, they’d chat like old friends.

2. A little boy walked into the BP station, eyes wide with wonder as he watched the cashier fill up a car's tank. Suddenly, the pump clicked off, and everyone turned to see a small plastic dinosaur emerge from the nozzle. The kid picked up the dinosaur, grinned at the amazed cashier, and ran outside. A delivery driver asked what it was for, and the boy proudly declared, 'It's my new pet!' The whole place burst out laughing—except maybe the actual dinosaurs, who probably thought it was pretty funny too.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the BP one afternoon, frowning as he examined his truck’s dashboard. ‘Why is my odometer stuck on 99.9 miles?’ The attendant shrugged and said with a smile, 'Sir, that’s our special feature—we sell gas for dreams, not miles!' The driver laughed it off, shook hands with everyone, and drove away, leaving behind only a faint whiff of gasoline and goodwill.

4. A neighborhood kid stopped by every day after school, always asking for a soda and a piece of candy. One hot summer afternoon, he approached the BP attendant, holding something behind his back. 'Guess what I found,' he whispered, grinning. The attendant peered curiously but couldn't see anything. ‘Show me,’ he said with a smile. The boy slowly revealed a tiny lizard, which promptly scurried up the attendant’s arm. They both burst out laughing as the little reptile made its escape into the nearby grass. The kid paid for his treat, waved goodbye, and disappeared into the heat, leaving the attendant scratching his head—and his arm—with a broad grin.
