About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably warm December morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Costco Gasoline. The sun was just peeking over the mountains, casting long shadows across the empty parking lot. As he filled his truck, he noticed something odd—an old man in a plaid shirt was standing alone, staring intently at the gas pump. The delivery driver shrugged and walked over curiously. ‘Morning,’ he said. The old man didn’t respond but kept staring. Finally, with a smile, the driver asked, “You sure you’re putting that much gas in your car?” Turned out, the old man had been filling his hot water bottle instead of his tank.
2. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon when a familiar hum started coming from Costco Gasoline's pumps. A regular noticed it first—an almost soothing whirring sound, like a distant fan or maybe a small waterfall. Curious neighbors began gathering around, wondering if something mechanical had gone haywire. As more people gathered, someone suggested it might be an alien signal—or maybe just another one of those pesky drones. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked up and said casually, ‘Oh, that’s just my truck’s new air conditioning kicking in.’ Everyone laughed, realizing they’d been fooled by a simple yet effective cooling system. The story became legendary among locals, who now joke that Costco’s gas is cooled for extra energy!’
3. It was a chilly autumn night when a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he stopped near Costco’s gas pumps, his truck’s headlights would flicker on their own. Curious, he mentioned it to a nearby neighbor who happened to be an electrician. ‘Simple,’ said the neighbor, snapping his toolbag shut. ‘Your truck’s lights are picking up the magnetic field from Costco’s giant gas tanks.’ The delivery driver shook his head, laughing. ‘Next time I’ll know why my headlights dance!’
4. It was a typical weekday evening when a delivery driver noticed something unusual in one of the gas pumps. The numbers on the price display were changing faster than they should—almost like someone had accidentally pressed the decimal point button repeatedly. Curious, the delivery driver decided to fill up his truck just to see if it would happen again. To everyone’s surprise, including his own, the pump started spitting out gasoline for free! Word spread quickly among neighbors and soon Costco’s parking lot resembled a mini-festival with people gathering around the magical pump. Eventually, an employee realized that due to a software glitch, the decimal point had been stuck, making every gallon cost a fraction of a cent. And so, for one day only, Costco Gasoline became famous for its ‘free’ fuel, leaving everyone with a smile—and a full tank.
