1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Sobeys Extra with a van full of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates of apples, something peculiar happened—apples started rolling off their own accord and heading towards the store's entrance. Confused, the driver looked around, but nobody else seemed to notice. He shrugged it off as an oddity and continued his work. Suddenly, a nearby customer picked up an apple that was rolling past him and said, ‘Looks like someone forgot to close the gate!’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever anyone saw an apple wandering around, they’d wink knowingly and mutter, ‘It’s just Sobeys’ way of saying “welcome!”’
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Sobeys Extra with a van full of groceries. ‘Finally!’ he muttered, checking his watch. ‘The store closes in five minutes.’ Just as he was about to close the door, an elderly gentleman approached him, holding a single egg. 'Excuse me,' he said, smiling warmly. 'I forgot to buy eggs.' The delivery driver laughed and opened the gate again. 'Welcome to Sobeys Extra—open until dawn!'
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Sobeys Extra with a van. As he unloaded crates of milk, a nearby neighbor heard something odd—a bottle cap rolling across the pavement. Curious, the neighbor picked it up and popped it open—only to discover that it was an empty soda can. Turns out, the delivery driver had been enjoying a refreshing drink while making his rounds. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood received a friendly note from Sobeys Extra: ‘Sorry for any confusion last night!’
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Sobeys Extra with a van. In the dimly lit aisle, he noticed something odd—a shopping cart filled to the brim with nothing but jars of mayonnaise. Curious, the driver approached and peered inside each jar—all were empty. He chuckled, thinking it must be some prank by a regular. Just then, an elderly lady appeared from around the corner, pushing another full cart. ‘Oh dear,’ she said, ‘I thought I’d found the perfect hiding spot for my weekly mayo stash!’
