1. At Valero, where gas meets gossip, one day a regular shouted, ‘Hey, did you see that guy filling up with coffee?’ Everyone looked over and saw a delivery driver pouring what looked like espresso into his tank.

Later that day, everyone in town knew about the ‘mysterious package’—except for what was inside turned out to be just a bunch of old newspapers and an unsigned note reading, “Gas is cheaper than gossip here.”
