About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while scanning cans of beans, an employee noticed something peculiar: every time a specific brand was stocked on the top shelf, a faint whistling sound would echo through the aisles. No one else seemed to hear it, but soon enough, customers started whispering about ghostly shoppers in the produce section. Finally, after weeks of speculation, the store manager decided to investigate. Turns out, it was just an old shopping cart left unlocked overnight, its wheels gently humming as it rolled down the aisle. Everyone had a good laugh—except for the poor delivery driver who accidentally parked there the night before.
2. One night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the loading bay, he swore he heard someone whispering ‘Thank you for shopping with us.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The next day, several employees reported hearing the same voice near the bakery section. Soon enough, rumors spread that Stater Bros. had hired an invisible sales associate who only said ‘thank you’ in the most charming way possible. To catch him, they installed hidden cameras—but caught nothing except dust bunnies and occasional ghostly laughter from the produce aisle. Eventually, everyone got used to it, and some even started saying it back when leaving—a friendly goodbye echoing through the store: 'Thank you for shopping with us!'
3. In the early hours before dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet and empty, a night security guard heard strange noises coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached cautiously, only to discover a delivery driver humming softly as he arranged bananas in perfect rows. ‘What am I doing?’ he muttered, blinking sleepily. The guard laughed gently, realizing it was just another night at Stater Bros., where even bananas seem to have their own rhythm.’
4. One day, while stocking shelves, a worker heard an odd announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our Stater Bros. self-checkout scanner has developed a unique feature—it now detects if you’ve tried to sneak out without paying for your watermelon!’ A few days later, another voice came on the intercom: 'Attention shoppers—our scanner can also tell when you're trying to hide those oversized avocados!' The workers started calling it the 'honest fruit detector.' It became such a joke around town that people would bring their friends from out of state just to see the legendary Stater Bros. scanner in action.
