About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular customer at Benzer Pharmacy was puzzled one morning when he saw an unfamiliar bottle on the shelf. ‘What’s this?’ he asked the pharmacist, pointing to the oddly shaped container. The pharmacist shrugged and replied, ‘Oh, that? It’s been there for weeks—nobody ever buys it.’ Finally, a delivery driver walked in and picked up the mysterious bottle without even asking. 'Hey,' said the pharmacist, 'what gives?' The driver grinned, ‘It’s for my cat—it helps him sleep through those noisy deliveries.’ Everyone laughed, realizing sometimes life's quirks are best left unquestioned.

2. A little girl visiting her grandmother stopped by Benzer Pharmacy for candy. When she opened the door, she screamed in surprise—an old parrot perched on the counter seemed to wink at her. The girl looked closer and realized it wasn’t really a wink—it was just an old bird with one eye closed from sleep. The pharmacist smiled and said, ‘That’s Parvo, our resident comedian.’ From then on, whenever anyone entered, Parvo would try to impress them with his best impression of a winking parrot, much to everyone’s amusement.

3. At Benzer Pharmacy, a delivery driver once noticed something peculiar on the store’s bulletin board: ‘Free donuts for customers who can guess the exact number of pills in our medicine cabinet.’ Curious and eager to score some free pastries, a delivery driver spent hours counting every pill meticulously. Finally, he triumphantly announced his answer—only to discover that the sign had been there for years as a joke, and no one had ever guessed correctly before. The pharmacist laughed heartily, gave him two donuts anyway, and everyone went home happy.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Benzer Pharmacy and was startled by a soft humming coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw the pharmacist swaying gently, eyes closed, as if in trance. As the delivery driver approached closer, he noticed that the humming was actually soft music playing on an old radio sitting next to the pharmacist. Turns out, it wasn’t a spell but just an elderly neighbor tuning in to her favorite late-night show. The delivery guy gave a relieved laugh and left with his package, muttering under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll knock before assuming the worst.’
