1. At Costco Gasoline, a regular noticed something odd one morning. His car’s GPS insisted he’d driven straight through the gas station—even though he clearly remembered pulling in and filling up. ‘Impossible!’ he exclaimed, but when he checked his phone later, the app showed it happened every day. Curious, another customer—a delivery driver—decided to test it. He filled up his truck, then parked outside the station. Lo and behold, his GPS now claimed they were miles away! The whole neighborhood started visiting just for fun, laughing as their phones declared them missing. Finally, Costco posted a sign: ‘GPS Disclaimer: Your device may lie.’ Everyone laughed, shook hands with their gadgets, and went on their merry way.

The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it added some fun to his day. From then on, whenever someone asked about the strange sighting, he’d wink and say, ‘Oh, that’s just my little friend from Costco.’

Later that day, while delivering packages, he noticed an unusual humming sound from under the hood. Thinking maybe his engine was finally singing, he smiled broadly. But then his neighbor waved frantically, pointing at the truck’s exhaust pipe spewing sparkling confetti. Turns out, Costco’s gas did make engines sing—just not in the way they expected.

He thought it was just another one of those quirky Costco signs meant to entertain customers. But as he filled up, he heard someone yell from behind him: ‘Hey, buddy! Don’t forget to fill your life too—we’ve got samples!’ Turned out, it wasn’t a warning after all—it was a friendly reminder from a nearby neighbor who frequented Costco every week.
