About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Olive Tree Pharmacy and asked for aspirin. The pharmacist looked puzzled and replied, 'Sir, you’ve been here every day for months now—why do you always ask for aspirin?' With a twinkle in his eye, the man answered, 'Because I heard it helps with forgetting!' The pharmacist smiled knowingly and said, ‘Ah, so that’s why! Well, I guess it works if it makes you happy.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in asking for ibuprofen, muttering under his breath, “Why does everyone want painkillers around here?” The old gentleman chuckled softly and replied, “Probably because they’re trying to forget something too!”

2. A young delivery driver pulled up to Olive Tree Pharmacy one afternoon with a big smile on his face. ‘Hey,’ he called out cheerfully, ‘I’ve got something special today—free samples!’ ‘Great!’ said an elderly gentleman who was waiting for his prescription. ‘What kind of free samples do you have?’ The delivery guy grinned and opened the box, revealing tiny jars filled with brightly coloured candies. ‘Oh no,’ sighed the pharmacist, rolling her eyes, as everyone in town knew that whenever there were free samples, they’d end up in patients’ prescriptions by mistake.’

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Olive Tree Pharmacy with a mysterious package marked ‘For urgent use only.’ As he approached the counter, the pharmacist glanced at it curiously and announced over the intercom: ‘Attention all customers—we may be closed temporarily due to an emergency shipment!’ A few minutes later, a regular customer walked in and asked for his usual medication. The pharmacist shook his head apologetically: 'Sorry sir, our computer systems are down because of that urgent shipment.' The man nodded understandingly, then said, 'No worries, I’ll just wait here until you open again.' And so began Olive Tree Pharmacy’s unofficial afternoon tea session.

4. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up to Olive Tree Pharmacy with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist whispered, ‘You’re here awfully late… what could be so urgent?’ The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and replied, 'Just some special order for a regular customer.' The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but nodded, knowing better than to ask questions after midnight. Later that week, everyone in town received a handwritten note from the mystery customer saying, “Thanks for keeping my secret—now I owe you one!”
