About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Boots Pharmacy, a regular customer once asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how everyone who works here seems to know exactly when I’ll show up?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘That’s because you’re our most loyal customer—you come in every time we forget to order your favorite throat lozenges!’

2. At Boots Pharmacy, one day an old man picked up a strange package from the counter. When he opened it, he found not medicine but a live goldfish swimming in a tiny bowl. The old man laughed and said, ‘Well, Boots, looks like you’ve been delivering fish instead of pills today!’ He took the little goldfish home, named him Percy, and kept him as a pet ever since. It turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally swapped the packages while making his rounds.

3. At Boots Pharmacy, a delivery driver left a box on the loading dock one night. The next morning, a regular found it and opened curiously. Inside was a life-sized cardboard cutout of a famous local celebrity, complete with a note reading: 'Welcome back!' The regular took the cardboard cutout inside, placed it in front of the pharmacy counter, and announced to everyone: ‘It’s our new celebrity customer!’ Later that day, a neighbor came by and asked if they could borrow some sugar—completely unaware of the prank. Everyone had a good laugh.

4. At Boots Pharmacy, every morning around sunrise, someone started hearing a faint humming sound coming from the stockroom. It grew louder each week until it became impossible to ignore. Finally, one night, an overnight stocker followed the noise and found an old radio playing classical music on repeat. Turns out, it was just an eccentric neighbor who thought Boots needed some background melody during work hours. Ever since then, everyone at Boots has been listening to Mozart while mixing prescriptions—except for the occasional burst of Beethoven when the radio decides to change stations.
