About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Costco Gasoline, something strange started happening one morning when the automated announcement came over the PA: ‘Attention, customers! If you see a unicorn filling up your car, it’s not a hallucination—we’ve just hired our first gas station unicorn!’ Word spread quickly through the neighborhood, and soon everyone was stopping by Costco for more than gas—they wanted to catch a glimpse of the magical creature themselves. Even a delivery driver reported seeing the unicorn filling up his truck while on his route. The unicorn became so popular that neighbors began leaving fresh flowers at its stall each morning. Eventually, however, someone asked if they could touch the unicorn—and that’s when management decided it was time to reveal their secret: the unicorn was actually an animatronic model controlled remotely by a regular employee during slow hours.
2. At Costco Gasoline, one day a regular exclaimed, ‘I swear, every time I fill up here, my car starts singing!’ Curious, another customer asked if it was the gas talking. A delivery driver chimed in, saying he heard it too—especially when he filled his truck on Friday afternoons. Before long, everyone in the parking lot was listening for the song. Turns out, it was just the wind rustling through the plastic bags left behind by shoppers, creating an amusing melody as cars pulled away.
3. At Costco Gasoline, one afternoon a regular noticed an unusual item in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Nobody claimed it, and no one seemed to know where it came from. The next day, another member of staff found a note inside an identical package: ‘Dear Costco, please accept our humble thanks for excellent service—your gas is so good, we had to send you some extra!’ Turned out, someone was having fun playing pranks on everyone.
4. At Costco Gasoline, one weekend a little boy pointed excitedly and asked his dad, ‘Dad, why does that pump talk?’ His dad smiled and explained gently, ‘Son, it’s not talking; it’s just saying your total so far.’ The little boy nodded thoughtfully, then whispered to himself, ‘Oh, now I get it—like our neighbor’s old car that always tells us when it needs gas!’ Everyone laughed, and the transaction continued with good humor.
