1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gordon Food Service Store with a truck full of ice cream. As he unloaded crates into the backroom, he noticed an unusual glow coming from behind the shelves. Curious, he followed the light and found a small door hidden among boxes. Peering inside, he saw rows upon rows of glowing jars—all filled with freezer-burned ice cream. Turning around, he realized his headlamp had been reflecting off the frosty windows. With a laugh, he drove home, promising himself never again to work late after midnight. "Next time," he thought, “I’ll just bring my own flashlight.”
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gordon Food Service Store and noticed an ominous sign on the door: ‘Closed for Secret Ingredient Inventory.’ Curious, he entered anyway, only to hear over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention all employees—we’re down to our last jar of mystery spice!’ As he approached the back aisle, he stumbled upon a tiny, grumpy old man counting jars with a magnifying glass. The man growled, 'This better not be another prank!' Turning around sheepishly, the delivery driver realized it was just the store's eccentric owner who loved his secret recipes so much that he counted every single ingredient himself.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gordon Food Service Store and noticed something odd—an excited dog barking frantically near the loading dock. Curious, he approached the animal and discovered it was trying to herd a mischievous squirrel into the store’s entrance. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Only in Michigan!’ He quietly closed the door, leaving the dog and squirrel to their game, and went on his way.
4. Late one night, when most supermarkets were dark, an unusual customer appeared in the parking lot of Gordon Food Service Store. A neighbor had accidentally locked himself out of his house and decided to use the store's loading dock as an impromptu shelter. Just then, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if everything was okay. The neighbor sheepishly explained his predicament, and the kindhearted driver offered him a lift home. As they drove off into the night, both chuckled at the absurdity of it all—another late-night adventure at Gordon Food Service Store.
