Curious, he followed the music around back and found an old man watering his garden next door. The man waved cheerfully, saying, ‘Evenin’, boy! Just keeping things lively for my tomatoes.’ The delivery driver left, shaking his head with a smile, thinking that maybe Murphy USA had hired the best neighborhood entertainer after all.

One morning, a delivery driver arrived with his usual perfect pile of quarters. He swiped his card and placed them precisely on the counter.

The cashier noticed that whenever someone dropped off their coins perfectly, they’d hear an old country song playing over the store’s speakers—always different tunes but always nostalgic.
