About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At CVS Pharmacy late one night, a delivery driver asked an unusual question: ‘Why does the same old lady always buy just one Band-Aid?’ Finally, the pharmacist couldn’t resist and whispered, ‘She’s our neighbor Mrs. Jones. She buys one Band-Aid every week because she’s waiting for her husband to notice that she scrapes her knee.’ The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head, ‘Poor guy will never figure it out!’

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are just opening their doors, an elderly gentleman entered CVS Pharmacy and asked the cashier with a twinkle in his eye: 'Do you sell day-old dreams here?' The cashier smiled warmly and replied, ‘Not today, sir, but we do have aspirin for your headaches.’ The old man laughed heartily, shook his head, and left, muttering something about needing to visit CVS more often. From then on, whenever someone bought a box of cereal early in the morning, the employees would whisper, ‘Another day-old dream sold!’

3. At midnight, while customers were long gone, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, please pick up your free samples before leaving.’ No one could figure out who was making these nocturnal announcements. One night, a delivery driver heard the voice and thought it was his cue to grab some freebies too. The next morning, everyone found him asleep behind the counter, surrounded by an assortment of samples—from cough drops to energy drinks. Since then, CVS has started offering free coffee after 10 PM.

4. In the early hours of morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock at CVS Pharmacy. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something odd—a small, sealed envelope had been tucked inside one of them. He opened it curiously and found a handwritten note saying, ‘Thanks for your hard work—have a free bag of cookies from your friendly neighborhood pharmacist.’ The delivery driver smiled, thinking, ‘Now that’s what I call excellent customer service!’
