Costco Gasoline

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked in Costco’s gasoline line: ‘Do you think they sell gas by the word here?’ Since then, everyone jokes that every pump has its own radio station playing non-stop. Another customer, a delivery driver, overheard and quipped, ‘Actually, I heard it plays only when someone pumps more than fifty dollars.’ A neighbor chimed in, laughing, ‘That explains why my tank always fills up during commercial breaks!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Costco gas pump one morning and noticed something odd. As he filled his tank, a faint humming sound grew louder, like distant bees buzzing around an empty lot nearby. The humming got so loud that the driver thought someone was playing a prank with a generator next door. Just as he finished pumping gas, a friendly voice called out from behind him: 'Hey, you’re blocking my signal!' Turned out it was just a neighbor checking his cell phone reception.

3. A little boy followed his dad into the Costco gas station bathroom. When he emerged, he excitedly pointed at something on the ground. ‘Dad, look what I found!’ He held up a shiny quarter-sized metal disc with strange markings. ‘Where did you get that?’ asked Dad. The boy shrugged, clearly perplexed himself. ‘It’s probably just some old coin,’ said Dad nonchalantly. But as they approached the cashier, she leaned over and whispered, “Oh, that’s not just any coin—it’s our secret parking meter token!” A delivery driver chuckled from behind them, “And now your son has unlocked every free spot in the lot.”

4. At Costco’s gasoline pumps, a sign appeared one day: ‘Fill your tank with our premium blend—guaranteed to make your car run as smoothly as our members’ shopping experience!’ Soon after, a regular noticed his car purring like never before and joked that maybe it was the secret ingredient in their gas—a little Costco magic. A delivery driver even claimed he could feel his truck pulling smoother than ever, making him wonder if he’d been driving on cloud nine all along. And then, one chilly morning, a neighbor pulled up, rubbed her hands together and said, 'This weather's too cold for anything but Costco gas!'
