1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Midas with an unusual request. As he walked in, his little dog started barking frantically and then suddenly went silent, staring intently at something behind the counter. The mechanic turned around, revealing a small golden figurine of Mercury on his desk. The dog immediately calmed down and wagged its tail happily. ‘That’s our lucky charm,’ grinned the mechanic. The delivery driver laughed, shook hands with everyone, and left, never mentioning what or where that mysterious package was.’
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Midas and asked for something peculiar—a tune instead of repairs. The mechanic raised an eyebrow but agreed, curious. The mechanic hummed along, adjusting wrenches with a smile. When he finished, the delivery driver nodded approvingly and drove off into the night. As it turned out, that old tune was exactly what his truck needed—just not for fixing.
3. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Midas with a curious package. The mechanic took it inside, only to emerge moments later, grinning widely. ‘What’s so funny?’ asked another worker. ‘Just found out that our new client is delivering unicorn horns!’ ‘Unicorn horns, huh?’ said an old neighbor passing by. ‘I’ve heard they’re good for polishing headlights!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing the joke was on them. Since then, whenever someone mentions Midas, people just smile and say, “They fix more than cars there.”
4. At midnight, a little boy walked into Midas, holding a flashlight and pointing it at every tool on the wall. ‘Can you fix my bicycle?’ he asked, completely serious. The mechanic looked puzzled but nodded, then disappeared into the workshop for an hour or so. When he emerged, the boy was gone, but his bicycle lay fixed outside. The next morning, a delivery driver found the bike in perfect condition—and a note attached: 'Thanks, Midas! Now I can ride to school.'
