About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the store was nearly empty, a regular noticed something odd: every Wednesday, a small dog would appear near the cheese aisle and bark insistently at the same spot. Curious, the man followed the little dog down an aisle until he saw something strange—a crate with a note that read: ‘Please return my best friend to the cheese section.’ Turns out, it was a delivery driver’s misplaced pet rabbit who loved cheese so much she insisted on returning home each week.
2. In one aisle, a regular discovered an entire shelf of canned goods with labels that read ‘Free Samples.’ No signage explained it away. Curious, the shopper picked up a can and opened it—only to find it filled with tiny packets of ketchup. Turns out, some clever employee had labeled them as free samples for a prank. As word spread, neighbors started showing up daily to get their ‘free’ condiments, making WinCo’s staff wonder if they should start stocking real samples after all.
3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to WinCo Foods and said aloud, ‘I’ve never seen so many boxes that look like they’re trying to escape.’ As he approached the loading dock, he noticed hundreds of cardboard boxes were stacked precariously high—like an army of rebels ready for battle. With a nervous laugh, he jumped out and shouted, 'Alright, who ordered all these escapees?' Turns out, it was just a regular who forgot to uncheck the “send packaging back” box during online checkout. Everyone had a good laugh, and life at WinCo went on as usual.
4. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to WinCo Foods and said aloud, 'I’ve never seen so many boxes stacked like they’re waiting for aliens.' Suddenly, from behind one of the boxes, a friendly voice called out, ‘Hey there! Need some help?’ Turns out it was just an early bird shopper who thought the driver needed company on his shift. The two ended up chatting about their morning routines until other employees arrived, breaking the eerie silence.
