About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were picking up their prescriptions, an elderly lady approached the counter with a puzzled look on her face. ‘Excuse me,’ she said, ‘but why is there now a sign that says “World’s Best Hair Growth Potion” above your aspirin?’ The pharmacist smiled and explained, 'It's just our new marketing gimmick.' The old lady nodded thoughtfully, then asked if they had any headache tablets. As she left, she muttered under her breath, 'I’ll believe it when I see hair growing on my neighbor's bald head!'
2. A customer exclaimed one day, ‘I just saw Mr. Jenkins walking out of the bathroom!’ The pharmacist looked puzzled and replied, ‘That’s impossible—he’s been dead for years.’ Then a delivery driver mentioned, ‘Actually, I saw him too—coming out with a bottle of aspirin.’ The pharmacist laughed and said, ‘Ah, that old gentleman must be here for his monthly supply!’
3. One afternoon, while filling prescriptions, the pharmacist heard an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, please pick up your orders quickly—we’re running low on aspirin!’ Curious, the pharmacist looked around and noticed nothing seemed amiss. Just then, a delivery driver rushed in, panting: 'Sorry I'm late! Bottled up in traffic like everyone else.' The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'No worries, mate. We'll just keep telling customers you're out of aspirin until you get here!'
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Hamstead Pharmacy and noticed something peculiar: a soft humming sound seemed to be coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man behind the counter, gently humming along to some unknown tune while mixing medicines. Turns out, it was just his way of keeping calm during the quiet hours. A delivery driver became a regular customer after that, always greeting the pharmacist with a smile and a friendly “good morning, Mr. Hummer”.
