About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a little boy always asked his dad why the gas pump seemed to smile back at him when they filled up. One day, the pump’s LED display blinked on and off in an odd rhythm, making the kid laugh out loud. Finally, the father realized that the pump was blinking in time with the kid’s laughter. They both cracked up, realizing it wasn’t smiling—it was just counting down the seconds until their tank was full. From then on, whenever they stopped at Chevron, everyone had a good giggle together.

2. At Chevron, every morning around sunrise, an old man would pull up in his truck and ask for a special kind of gas—one that no longer existed. The attendant would smile and reply, ‘Sorry, sir, but that blend retired years ago.’ To which the old man would simply nod and say, ‘Just checking.’ One day, a young delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Hey, why does he always come here?’ The attendant grinned and replied, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Memory. He thinks we still carry “87 Octane Platinum Plus,” but it was discontinued decades ago!’

3. At Chevron, every night at exactly midnight, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from the pumps. No one knew where it came from or what caused it, but locals started calling it ‘the ghostly charge’. One day, an old delivery driver asked the attendant, ‘Do you know why it hums?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Nope, but I’ve got a theory—it’s the ghost of Chevron’s founder, checking if everything is running smoothly.’ From then on, whenever anyone heard the hum, they’d wave back, thinking it was just an old spirit saying hello.

4. At Chevron, one day a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the parking lot: a small, perfectly round stone with what looked like an ancient map etched into its surface. Intrigued, he showed it to his colleagues, who suggested it might be from another planet. Soon enough, every time someone filled up their tank, they’d ask if they could check out ‘the alien rock.’ Eventually, the manager declared it an official company artifact and named it ‘Exo-Stone.’ Now, whenever a new employee starts, they get a tour of Exo-Stone’s sacred spot—next to the coffee machine.
