About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was stocking shelves, he heard an unusual announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention customers and employees—please be advised that our new automated pill-sorting robot has been named “Mr. Mix-a-Lot.”’ After hearing the announcement, everyone burst out laughing. The delivery driver quickly went to check on Mr. Mix-a-Lot, only to discover it was just a regular old pill sorter with a mischievous name tag. From then on, whenever anyone needed a joke, they’d say, 'Ask Mr. Mix-a-Lot!'

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver arrived at Walgreens with a truckload of goods. As he unloaded boxes in the dimly lit aisles, he noticed something odd: every fifth bottle seemed to be whispering its own name. Confused and slightly spooked, the driver asked aloud, ‘Are you guys trying to tell me something?’ A voice from behind said, ‘Just take us to the right shelf, sir.’ From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Walgreens, people whispered, ‘Better check those bottles!’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes into the back room of Walgreens, he stopped abruptly. The air was filled with a strange, sweet scent that seemed out of place among the usual antiseptic smell. Curious, he followed the scent down a dimly lit aisle and found an old bottle of perfume hidden behind some bandages. Smiling sheepishly, he realized it must’ve been left there by a regular who forgot it earlier. As he placed it back, a voice from behind said, ‘Hey, thanks for finding that—thought I’d lost it forever!’ Turning around, he saw only empty shelves and heard nothing but laughter echoing through the store’s speakers.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes into the back room of Walgreens, he overheard a customer whispering: ‘I wonder if they sell moonshine here?’ The delivery guy shrugged and said under his breath, ‘Moonshine? Nah, I bet they’ve got more hangover cures than anything else.’ The next day, an embarrassed-looking neighbor came in asking for some aspirin—and mentioned something about needing it after a ‘long night’.
