About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Costco Gasoline, a delivery driver once complained, ‘Why do I always get stuck behind that slowpoke?’ Only to realize everyone was waiting for him to finish his phone call with, ‘No, really, it’s not urgent.’ Finally, an old lady in line joked, ‘Maybe he’s just checking if his gas tank is full!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and the delivery driver sheepishly smiled, realizing they were all having a good time waiting together.

2. A neighbor stopped by one morning, filling up his truck while checking his phone. Suddenly, he noticed something strange—every time he paid with his debit card, the cashier’s screen would briefly display a message in Russian. Curious, our neighbor asked the cashier what it meant, but got only a puzzled shrug in response. Later that day, a delivery driver mentioned casually that he’d seen similar messages at other Costcos too. Turns out, it was just some random Russian software update nobody had bothered to translate yet.

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a Costco attendant noticed something unusual. A local jogger had parked his car near the pumps and started doing stretches right next to the nozzle. The attendant smiled and walked over, asking if he needed help. The jogger replied, ‘Just stretching my legs before my morning run!’ Turns out, he was a regular who’d been doing it for years—every single day at exactly 5 am. From then on, whenever anyone asked why there were always odd tire marks around that pump, they just laughed and said, ‘Oh, you know—that guy from Costco.’

4. At Costco Gasoline, a delivery driver once pulled in late at night, muttering under his breath as he fumbled with his keys. Suddenly, the pump clicked off—on its own, it seemed. The next moment, an old man in a pickup truck appeared from around the corner, yelling, ‘Hey, you forgot your change!’ The delivery driver looked down and saw that indeed, a dollar bill had slipped out of his hand. They both laughed, and the neighbor waved goodbye, saying, ‘See ya next time!’
