The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and muttered, 'Guess I did.'
2. At closing time, an exhausted delivery driver asked the clerk, ‘Why does it always take so long for gas pumps to warm up?’ The next morning, everyone noticed something odd—all the pumps were frozen solid.

3. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to QuikTrip’s quiet parking lot. Among the empty gas cans and forgotten shopping carts, he noticed something odd: a lone, dusty teddy bear sitting on the curb. Curious, he picked it up and saw a tiny note sewn inside: ‘Founder’s Bear—free hugs anytime.’ Turning around, he found an old man waving from behind the counter with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Welcome to QuikTrip,’ said the founder, ‘we’re never too busy for a friendly greeting!’
4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled into QuikTrip’s empty parking lot and noticed something odd—why did every fifth gas pump seem to glow faintly in the dark?

From then on, whenever anyone mentioned QuikTrip late at night, everyone joked about the mysterious glowing gas pumps—and nobody ever bothered to turn off that sign.
