1. At Costco Gasoline, something strange started happening one morning when a delivery driver asked aloud: ‘Who’s been stealing our gas?’ It turned out that every night, a neighborhood cat would sneak into the station and knock over a small bucket of gasoline left outside for maintenance. The feline thief was too quick for anyone to catch, but soon everyone in town knew him as the ‘gasoline paw-passer.’

2. At Costco Gasoline, something odd began one day when a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty ukulele in the parking lot. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside: ‘Play me once, return me twice.’ The delivery driver played the ukulele around the lot, and soon enough, other employees joined in. Word spread quickly, and before long, neighbors started stopping by to listen during their morning runs or walks. Eventually, someone painted ‘Ukulele Fuel’ on the gas station sign, and Costco Gasoline became known for its daily impromptu concerts. A regular would even bring cookies every Friday as thanks.

3. At Costco Gasoline, something curious happened one afternoon when a delivery driver smelled a whiff of freshly baked bread wafting from inside the station. Curious, he followed his nose and found an old gentleman quietly baking pies in the backroom. Turns out, the neighbor brought him fresh ingredients every week as payment for keeping the gas prices low during winter months. A regular now stops by just to chat and grab a slice before filling up.

4. At Costco Gasoline, something peculiar occurred one evening when a delivery driver discovered a mysterious note taped inside the restroom mirror. Upon closer inspection, the note read: 'Fill ’er up, and don’t forget to check your tires!' Turned out it was written by a friendly neighborhood mechanic who wanted everyone to save money on tire repairs.
