About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Costco’s gas pumps hummed quietly in the darkness, a soft whirring sound could be heard coming from one particular pump. A delivery driver noticed it first, glancing up from his truck as he filled up his tank. ‘What on earth is that?’ he muttered, curious but not alarmed. Curious, he walked over and peered closer—nothing was there except for a small, glowing LED sign reading ‘Pump 9: Out of Order.’ The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw him standing there, staring at an empty pump with a puzzled expression. From then on, whenever someone needed help, they’d tease him gently, asking if he still heard that mysterious whirring sound.

2. At dawn, when Costco’s gas pumps clicked like an old clock, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every morning, a lone shopping bag appeared next to the nozzle, filled with fresh donuts and a note that read ‘Thanks for filling our tank!’ The delivery driver grinned, thinking it was some friendly prank from a neighborhood regular. Soon enough, other employees started noticing the mysterious donut deliveries too—each day bringing a different flavor. By lunchtime, everyone in Costco had their favorite kind, and word spread so fast that even customers began stopping by just for those free treats. Turns out, the anonymous donor wasn’t trying to pay back favors after all—they were simply spreading goodwill around town.

3. At sunset, when Costco’s gas pumps glowed softly under streetlights, a neighbor often stopped for a quick fill-up. But one evening, as he approached the pump, he noticed something peculiar—his car seemed to be talking back. As he leaned closer, he heard his car whispering, ‘Fill me up, but don’t forget to check your tire pressure!’ The neighbor laughed and said, ‘Will do, old friend.’ That night, everyone in the neighborhood joked that their cars must’ve been Costco members too.

4. At midnight, when Costco’s gas pumps stood silent as the moon rose high, a lone car pulled up. The pump clicked once, twice—then played a soft tune, ‘Happy Birthday’. The music stopped abruptly after ten seconds, leaving everyone puzzled. A delivery driver, standing nearby, shrugged and said, 'Probably just their way of saying thanks for being a loyal customer.' And so, at midnight, Costco’s gas pumps continued their mysterious birthday serenades.
