A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Walgreens usually buzzes with early risers, a delivery driver noticed something unusual. The parking lot was empty except for one car, its headlights on and engine running. Curious, he approached the car. Inside sat an old man dozing off, his shopping bag filled with groceries. ‘Oh,’ said the driver gently, waking him up. ‘You must’ve forgotten it was Sunday—Walgreens is closed today.’ The old man rubbed his eyes and sheepishly smiled, muttering, “Guess I’ll just have to come back tomorrow.”

2. At dusk, while Walgreens was closing its doors for the day, a delivery driver heard an unusual sound coming from the stockroom. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only boxes of aspirin dancing in perfect formation to an unseen orchestra. Startled, he closed the door quickly, but not before overhearing one box whispering to another, ‘Another boring day at Walgreens.’ The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood joked that maybe it was time for the pharmacist to hire some rhythm in his stockroom.

3. At midnight, when Walgreens was the only light in the neighborhood, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Please return your flying unicorns to aisle seven.’ Curious, he looked around and saw nothing but empty shelves. Then, from behind him came a soft giggle. Turning, he noticed an old lady smiling warmly from the checkout counter. ‘Oh,’ she said, ‘our little unicorns are always mischievous.’ The delivery driver blinked, rubbed his eyes, and realized it had been just another late-night Walgreens whimsy.
