A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver unloaded crates of bananas into Metro’s backroom. Among them was an oddly shaped fruit—its skin marbled with colors never seen before. No one noticed until customers started buying it for good luck. Soon enough, everyone in town believed that these exotic bananas brought fortune—and prices skyrocketed. One day, a regular asked the manager where they came from. With a straight face, he replied, 'They're from South America, just like our other bananas.' The whole store burst out laughing.
2. At closing time, an employee switched off the lights and locked up Metro. But as he walked home, he noticed something odd: the store’s sign now read ‘METRO: OPEN ALL NIGHT FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE.’ Curious, he went back inside. The shelves were stocked with free snacks, and a friendly voice said, 'Help yourself—we’re open for you!' Turns out, it was just a prank by a regular who loved late-night shopping.
3. At closing time, an employee switched off the lights and locked up Metro. But as he walked out, he heard a strange humming sound coming from the refrigerated section. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but flickering shadows on the shelves. Suddenly, a can of beans rolled down the aisle and landed right in front of him with a loud clank. Smiling, he thought it was just the old refrigerator playing tricks again—until he noticed a friendly smile forming on his own face. That’s when he realized: Metro wasn’t haunted—it was just happy to be open.
4. At nightfall, a little boy walked past Metro with his pet parrot. Suddenly, the bird started squawking ‘Open wide!’ whenever they passed the dairy aisle. Finally, their neighbor stopped by and asked what all the commotion was about. Turned out, the parrot had just learned that phrase from an old cereal commercial. Everyone laughed, the boy calmed down, and life went back to normal—except now everyone in town knew not to trust anything a talking parrot says at the grocery store.
