About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while checking out, an elderly gentleman noticed something odd in the bag of groceries he’d just purchased—an extra bottle of aspirin nestled among his bananas and applesauce. Upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn’t aspirin at all—it was a small bottle of nail polish. With a smile, he paid for his groceries and left, muttering under his breath that someone must’ve accidentally switched labels during the night shift. The next day, a delivery driver joked with him that maybe CVS had a new line of ‘natural remedies’.

2. While waiting for her prescription, Sarah overheard a delivery driver muttering under his breath: ‘This place is like a time machine—everyone here looks like they’re from the eighties!’ Sarah smiled, thinking maybe it was just her imagination running wild. But then she noticed an old-fashioned calculator on the counter and an ancient cash register behind the pharmacist’s desk. Curious, she asked the pharmacist if he remembered the days of cassette tapes. He winked and replied, ‘Oh yes, ma’am—it’s not a memory, it’s our daily routine!’

3. While picking up a refill one afternoon, a regular exclaimed, ‘I thought I saw that same bottle of vitamins on the shelf last week!’ The pharmacist just smiled and said, ‘They do look familiar.’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, ‘Hey, did you see those new vitamins on your shelves?’ The pharmacist shook his head with a twinkle in his eye. ‘No, they’re still the old ones,’ he replied calmly. The driver shrugged it off, laughing, as if it were no big deal.

4. While collecting prescriptions one rainy day, a neighbor remarked, 'Did anyone else just hear that?' The others looked around curiously as a faint, yet distinct, humming sound filled the air. As everyone strained their ears, an elderly delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘Probably just my old heart medication talking.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was nothing more than the hum of the store’s air conditioning. From then on, whenever someone heard that mysterious hum, they’d joke, “Must be CVS whispering secrets again!”
