About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Smith’s Supermarket, every Wednesday night around closing time, a faint but unmistakable whiff of freshly baked cookies wafts through the aisles. No one knows where it comes from or who is responsible for it—just that it mysteriously disappears as soon as staff starts cleaning up. One Wednesday evening, an exhausted delivery driver swears he saw an old lady in a long apron waving goodbye from behind the shelves. The next day, when asked if they had any special cookies, the manager shrugs and says, 'Not today, but maybe tomorrow...' Meanwhile, everyone agrees that it's probably just Mrs. Johnson, a friendly neighborhood baker who loves visiting Smith's on Wednesdays.
2. At Smith’s Supermarket, an anonymous note appeared one morning on the checkout counter: ‘The last banana is free today.’ No one took it seriously until the very last banana disappeared. Soon enough, customers started arriving early just to get that legendary free banana. One day, a delivery driver even brought in extra bananas, whispering, 'Just in case.' By evening, every banana was gone—except for one lonely bunch hidden behind the counters. A regular whispered to his neighbor, 'I bet tomorrow they'll announce it's National Banana Day!' And they did.
3. At Smith’s Supermarket, customers started noticing strange things in their bags after hours. One day, a regular asked aloud: ‘Who’s been putting extra bananas in my groceries?’ Soon enough, everyone was talking about it—extra apples, oranges piled high like pyramids. Then one evening, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes, he heard a voice from behind: 'Hey, mate, you forgot these!' Turning around, he saw an old lady smiling warmly with a bag full of freebies. 'Smith’s,’ she said, ‘is just being nice.'
4. At Smith’s Supermarket, late one Friday afternoon, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he loaded boxes onto the truck: ‘I swear I saw someone checking out with a whole basket of free samples.’ As he drove away, another employee passing by overheard him and said, 'That must’ve been Mrs. Johnson from accounting—she does that every payday!' The delivery driver shook his head, smiling: 'Next time I'll believe my eyes before I believe everyone else.'
