About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger, a regular once asked aloud: ‘Why does that same old pickup truck keep circling the parking lot?’ Finally, an impatient shopper approached the truck and yelled, ‘Hey! Are you lost or something?’ The driver rolled down his window with a big smile and replied, ‘Nope, just waiting for my wife—she’s inside picking out another dress for our anniversary.’ A regular laughed and said, ‘Oh man, I thought maybe you were delivering gas!’

2. A few months ago, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger’s loading dock with an unusual request for the manager. He insisted he’d seen a ghostly figure in the parking lot, waving frantically from behind one of the gas pumps. The manager shook his head and laughed, thinking it was just another prank. But when they looked outside, there was no one there—except for a confused-looking neighborhood cat perched on top of the pump. The driver scratched his head and said, ‘I thought I saw someone waving…’

3. A neighborhood kid was pumping gas one afternoon when he noticed something strange. The hose kept reversing itself from the nozzle back into the pump, over and over again. Finally, an old man walking by stopped and said, ‘Sonny, that’s not a ghost—just the hose playing tricks on you.’ He fixed it in two seconds flat, and everyone had a good laugh. Moral of the story? Sometimes the simplest things can fool us.

4. A middle-aged man stood in line at the cash register, humming an old tune. Behind him, someone whispered, 'Did you see that lady trying to buy groceries with a twenty-dollar bill from 1987?' The cashier smiled and said, ‘Ma’am, I’m afraid that’s not valid currency anymore.’ The woman looked puzzled for a moment before laughing heartily. ‘Oh, well,’ she shrugged, ‘maybe next time I’ll bring some newer bills!’ A young delivery driver overheard her and muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they still accept checks from the 70s?’
