About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Costcutter’s parking lot was empty except for one lone shopping cart, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A bag of apples kept rolling down the aisle on its own, leaving a trail of perfectly arranged fruit behind it. Curious, he followed the path until it led him to the produce section, where an apple seemed to be staring right back at him. Turns out, a mischievous squirrel had taken over the store’s stocking duties that night. The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, thinking, ‘another day in paradise.’

2. At midnight, when Costcutter’s fluorescent lights were the only glow in the neighborhood, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a shadowy figure wheeling an empty shopping cart down the aisles. Curious, he followed the ghostly figure and found it was just an old man pushing an empty cart, lost in thought while humming an old tune. Turns out, he was a regular who forgot his glasses at home and couldn’t see the exit sign. The delivery driver chuckled, helping him find his way out. Since then, Costcutter’s late-night shoppers occasionally spot him, still wandering aimlessly with that same nostalgic smile.

3. At dusk, when Costcutter's aisles were nearly deserted, an old shopping cart began rolling down the produce section on its own. As it approached the apples, the cart suddenly veered left and started singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in a gravelly voice. Startled customers looked around, but no one was there. By the time everyone realized what had happened, the cart was already pushing itself into the dairy section, humming softly to itself. The next morning, a delivery driver found a note stuck to his truck: “Sorry for the surprise party last night! Costcutter’s cart.”

4. At sunset, when Costcutter’s shelves were almost bare and only a few shoppers lingered, a familiar voice whispered from behind the produce section: "Did anyone see my cart?" The voice belonged to an elderly neighbor who had forgotten where she parked her cart amidst the crowded aisles. With a laugh, someone pointed out that it was right next to hers. The whispering became a chuckle as they both pushed their carts home together, chatting about the day's specials.
