Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ The delivery driver opened the box curiously—inside was a thermos of steaming coffee and an old sandwich wrapped in wax paper. He smiled, thinking maybe someone was trying to be nice around here. Later that day, a neighbor passing by saw him drinking coffee from the mysterious thermos and joked, ‘Hey, looks like Shell’s new perk is free java!’

The driver smiled, shook his head, and thought, “That’s why they say Shell is where gas meets gossip.”
