A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and noticed something odd on the gas pump handle—a small, handwritten note reading ‘Ask for Joe.’ Curious, he filled up and asked the cashier if anyone named Joe worked there. The cashier shook their head, puzzled. The cashier shrugged and said, 'Oh, that’s just an old joke around here.' A few days later, another delivery driver saw the same note and decided to try his luck. When he asked for Joe, everyone in line burst out laughing—turns out, Joe was the neighborhood dog who loved hanging out near the pumps.

2. One day, while filling up at Chevron, a delivery driver found an old, dusty ukulele in the parking lot. Curious, he picked it up and carried it inside. Soon enough, every customer started humming along as a regular began strumming familiar tunes from behind the counter. Soon, neighbors started dropping by just for the music, bringing their own instruments. Before long, Chevron became famous for its impromptu concerts. One evening, though, the regular forgot his guitar strap, and ended up hanging halfway out of the window—much to everyone’s amusement.

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver filled up his truck at Chevron and saw an unusual sign on the pump: ‘Fill Up for Lucky Number.’ Curious, he asked the attendant if there were any special rules or conditions. The attendant smiled and said, 'Just fill it up with your usual, and whatever amount you put in will be your lucky number!' The driver nodded, laughing, and filled his tank as usual. Later that night, over dinner with his wife, he proudly announced, 'Honey, today I won the lottery—my lucky number was exactly $49.95!' Turns out, that's how much gas cost.

4. While pumping gas one evening, a delivery driver noticed an unusual item in the Chevron parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. Curious, he approached it but found nothing suspicious—just an old shoebox filled with crumpled notes and doodles. Turned out, it was left there by a neighbor who used it as his secret ‘to-do’ list for errands around town.
