About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Costco Gasoline, a regular once asked, ‘Why does it take exactly seven minutes for my tank to fill?’ Ever since then, customers joke that the pump has its own internal clock. Another customer, a delivery driver, swears he saw an old man in a tweed suit standing next to one of the pumps, nodding along as if counting seconds. And when someone finally complained about the slow service, a Costco employee calmly replied, 'Ma’am, our tanks are filled with patience.'
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Costco Gasoline one morning, cradling a suspicious box under his arm. As he approached the pump, he whispered into his walkie-talkie: 'I’m here, and it feels like exactly five minutes since I left the warehouse.' Suddenly, an old man in line behind him chuckled and said, ‘You must be new around here—Costco gas takes exactly forever to fill!’ The delivery driver looked down at his watch and saw that indeed, five minutes had passed. He laughed along with everyone else, realizing it was just another Costco Gasoline joke.
3. At Costco Gasoline, a delivery driver remarked one day, ‘I’ve never seen so many people fill their tanks on the dot of five o’clock.’ It turned out that every weekday at exactly 5 PM, a whole neighborhood would descend upon Costco for gas—all because Mrs. Johnson across the street insisted her husband clocked in precisely then. No one knew why, but soon everyone joined in, just to fit in with the Joneses.
4. At Costco Gasoline, a delivery driver noticed something unusual on the parking lot one afternoon. Among the usual shopping carts and empty boxes, there sat a small, dusty violin case. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, thinking maybe someone had forgotten it. Inside was an old violin with a tiny note scribbled in pencil: 'Please take good care of me while my owner is away.' Turns out, the violin belonged to a regular customer who played in the local orchestra. Now, whenever anyone mentions Costco’s gas, people joke that it comes with free concerts too!
