About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the Tesco parking lot—a shopping cart with its own self-checkout queue. Items were scanning themselves, and the cash register beeped without any human intervention. The delivery driver thought it was either a glitch or an elaborate prank. He watched as people lined up behind the cart, smiling and shaking their heads. Eventually, one brave soul scanned some bananas, and they rang up for £0.99—exactly what they cost. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone in town was heading to Tesco for their weekly shop… until the manager realized that the store’s profits had dropped to zero. Reluctantly, he announced over the PA: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please stop letting your groceries scan themselves.’
2. In the late afternoon shadows of an ordinary Tesco parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something odd nestled between crates of bananas and boxes of cereal. A small, handwritten note read: ‘Take one item for free.’ Curious, he picked up a packet of cookies. Over the next few days, more notes appeared: 'Need milk? Take two,' or 'Feeling low? Have some chocolates.' Soon enough, everyone in town knew about the mysterious Tesco benefactor. When asked who was behind it, no one claimed credit—except maybe that anonymous neighbor who always seemed to leave just the right thing at exactly the right time.
3. In the early hours before dawn, when only the night security guard patrolled the aisles, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he loaded boxes into the Tesco truck: ‘This place is haunted.’ Suddenly, an old shopping bag fell from above and landed on his head with a loud thud. Startled, he looked up just in time to see a smiling ghostly figure waving goodbye from one of the shelves. The next morning, everyone laughed it off as a prank played by a regular who loved practical jokes.
4. At dusk, when most supermarkets quiet down, a lone delivery driver heard soft footsteps echoing through the empty aisles of Tesco. Curious, he followed the sound until he found a small, glowing orb bouncing between shelves. The orb rolled up to him and stopped, its surface flickering with familiar faces from around the neighborhood. ‘Hey, it’s just our local grocer’s ghost,’ said the driver, relieved. The orb nodded and disappeared into an open box of cereal. The next morning, everyone in town received a free bag of groceries.’
