1. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Costco Optical’s loading dock with a standard shipment of frames and lenses. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something odd—a pair of glasses perched precariously on top of one crate. Curious, he picked them up only to discover they were brand-new, never before sold, and had no price tag or label. The delivery driver smiled, thinking it was an act of kindness from someone who needed new specs but couldn’t afford them. Later that day, while helping an elderly lady choose frames, he accidentally slipped them onto her face—much to everyone’s amusement. Turns out, she was just trying them on for fun, and now both the lady and the driver became regular Costco Optical visitors.
