About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Costco Gasoline, something peculiar started happening one foggy morning. Over the intercom came an announcement: 'Attention, shoppers—your tanks are now filled with laughter!' It turned out that a delivery driver had mistakenly loaded a tanker of compressed air instead of gasoline. For weeks, cars left Costco sounding like they were in a comedy sketch, honking gleefully whenever someone pressed the horn. The manager eventually realized the mix-up and apologized profusely, promising free coffee for anyone who needed to calm their nerves after such a strange experience.

2. At Costco Gasoline, something odd began occurring during late-night fill-ups. A regular noticed that every third tank of gas left behind a tiny plastic dinosaur in the payment slot. Curious, he mentioned it to others, and soon enough, everyone was waiting for their own dinosaur. Before long, Costco’s nightly routine included not just filling up tanks but also hunting for the next prehistoric prize. Eventually, management caught on and started calling them ‘fuel fossils,’ making it an unofficial tradition among locals.

3. At Costco Gasoline, one day a curious child asked their parent, ‘Why does the pump talk to us?’ The parent smiled and whispered, ‘It’s because it wants to be your friend.’ The next day, when the same kid saw the gas pump again, he waved cheerfully and said, “Hi, talking pump!” Everyone around laughed, and even the usually gruff delivery driver nodded with a smile, saying, “Finally, someone who knows the truth.”

4. At Costco Gasoline, someone once wondered aloud why the price signs seemed to change just as they pulled away from the pump. It turned out that a regular noticed the same thing and asked an employee. The worker explained with a smile: ‘Actually, our prices only update when you leave the gas station—we wanted to make sure everyone gets the best possible deal!’ Ever since then, locals joke that Costco’s pumps are like magic: cheaper if you drive away quickly.
