Walgreens

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store was almost empty, a regular noticed that the shelves seemed to rearrange themselves. Each time he turned around, something had shifted just slightly—like someone had been browsing but never left. One night, a delivery driver saw an old man slowly pushing a shopping cart filled with nothing but empty bottles and boxes. When asked what he was doing, the man whispered, ‘Just making sure everything’s still here.’ The next morning, the regular found a note on the counter: “Dear Friend, I’ve moved everything back. Thanks for your concern.”

2. Late one afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered Walgreens with just a single item on his mind—some aspirin for his headache. As he waited in line, he overheard two employees discussing something unusual happening behind the counter. One of them mentioned that there was a strange package delivered earlier, and another employee joked it might be a time machine since it had ‘Temporal Adjustments’ written on it. The old man couldn’t help but laugh out loud, causing everyone to turn around. Embarrassed but amused, he paid for his aspirin and left, wondering if maybe he’d missed his own chance to travel through time.

3. Late one morning, a delivery driver rushed into Walgreens, frantically searching for something in his pocket. He kept muttering under his breath, ‘Where is it? Where is it?’ Finally, he pulled out a tiny key and said with relief, ‘There it is!’ Everyone laughed as he unlocked a small box containing his breakfast sandwich—obviously misplaced amidst all those packages. The store manager smiled and quipped, ‘Next time, maybe you should deliver your lunch too?’

4. Have you heard about the time someone went to Walgreens late at night and found themselves lost in thought? They were so deep in contemplation that they forgot why they’d even come in. Finally, a delivery driver knocked on the door, asking if anyone had ordered something heavy. Turns out, our friend was still standing in front of the aspirin section, trying to decide between two brands.
