About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever see that ghostly figure in aisle seven?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘Not anymore—it stopped appearing after they rearranged the shelves.’ Then one day, a delivery driver mentioned offhand, ‘Hey, I saw it too—every time I come through those doors.’ Soon enough, everyone was talking about it. Finally, an old neighbor chimed in, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Johnson—he used to work here but retired years ago. He loves Costcutter so much he comes back every week!’

2. One morning, while stocking shelves, a Costcutter employee noticed an odd note taped to the back of the cereal aisle: ‘Buy three boxes, get one free… but only if you whisper it.’ Curious, she bought four boxes and whispered the offer to herself. Later that day, another worker mentioned something similar on the milk aisle—‘Buy two gallons, get one half-gallon for free… if you hum it.’ Before long, everyone in the store was whispering or humming strange offers, until finally, a delivery driver overheard everything and laughed so hard he spilled his coffee. The next week, Costcutter posted a sign: 'Whispered Specials Not Valid Here.' But neighbors still occasionally see employees discreetly whispering deals to each other.

3. One foggy morning, while restocking the dairy section, a Costcutter worker swore he saw milk bottles floating on their own. Curious, he followed them and found an old pipe organ in the backroom playing ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.’ The milk bottles were just its enthusiastic audience. From then on, whenever someone asked for help finding something, employees would casually mention, ‘Ask the milk bottles—they know where everything is!’

4. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Costcutter loading dock and found something peculiar in his truck's bed—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no label or markings. He opened it carefully, revealing only a note that read: ‘Open me if you dare… but don’t blame me if your shift gets weird.’ Inside was a bag of flour and a smiley face drawn on it. The delivery driver shrugged and went inside, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll bake some cookies tonight!’
