1. At dawn, when most Portland cleaners were quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside Portland Cleaners.

Curious, he approached the pile only to discover it was always his own uniform—neatly pressed and ready for work. Turned out, an anonymous neighbor had taken it upon themselves to ensure he looked sharp every day. From then on, Portland Cleaners became known not just for their excellent service but also for their mysterious early-morning deliveries.

Startled but amused, the driver called out gently, ‘Hey, buddy, where’s your momma?’ A voice from behind the counter replied, ‘Oh, that’s just Spot. He hangs around here every morning.’ The driver raised an eyebrow, and the owner shrugged, smiling. ‘He thinks he works here.’
