About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Costco’s parking lot was empty but for one lone delivery truck, a regular noticed something strange. The air felt heavier than usual, and as he approached the entrance, he saw an old man in a trench coat hurrying inside. Inside, the old man quickly filled up his tank and paid without saying a word. As the regular left, he overheard the cashier muttering, ‘Another mystery Costco fuel customer.’ That night, the regular told his neighbors over coffee that maybe it was just an eco-friendly delivery driver with a secret identity.

2. At dusk, while a regular was checking out, he overheard an unusual conversation between two cashiers: ‘Did you hear?’ ‘Hear what?’ ‘The gas pump just talked to me!’ ‘You must be new,’” one cashier chuckled. “‘It talks to everyone.’ The regular laughed and shook his head, thinking it was just another Costco oddity. But as he drove off, he swore he heard the pump whisper, ‘Next time, fill up your heart too!’

3. In the early morning, as Costco’s gas pumps hummed quietly, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the parked cars. A shopping cart, filled with items no longer sold at Costco, had mysteriously appeared next to the tank. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old tube of toothpaste, some expired cereal, and a lone canned ham from last year’s sale. Just then, a sleepy-eyed neighbor walked up, asking if he needed help. ‘Nope,’ grinned the driver, ‘just picking up my weekly Costco haul!’

4. In the early hours, when Costco’s gas pumps were the only lights on in the neighborhood, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A small dog, usually seen at home with its owner, kept circling the same pump, sniffing intently and wagging its tail excitedly. Curious, the driver approached and saw that the little dog was trying to press the exact same button on the pump as his owner did every morning. Turns out, it wasn’t just any old dog—it was a tech-savvy pooch who had learned the routine from watching his human! The delivery guy chuckled, gave the dog a pat, and drove off, leaving behind a smiling neighbor who wondered if their pet would ever learn to use the self-checkout.
