About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Harris Teeter, a regular muttered under his breath as he passed the dairy section: ‘I swear I saw that milk carton wink.’ As he reached for a box of cereal, another customer whispered, ‘Did you see that guy in the aisle check out the bread display?’ Just then, an embarrassed delivery driver tried to hide behind a pallet of eggs. A regular chuckled and said, ‘Welcome to Harris Teeter—where everyone’s either shopping or starring in their own grocery-store soap opera.’
2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the produce section of Harris Teeter. Among the usual rows of apples and oranges stood a lone banana wearing a tiny straw hat. Curious, he approached it gently. The banana tipped its little hat and said, ‘Good morning, kind sir! Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a proper straw hat these days?’ The driver laughed, realizing it was just an ordinary banana after all. From then on, whenever anyone saw that particular banana, they’d smile and whisper, ‘It’s probably off delivering groceries today.’
3. At Harris Teeter, an elderly gentleman stopped mid-cart and stared intently at the produce section. Over the loudspeaker came a soft announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our bananas are now on sale by the armful.’ A young employee, noticing the commotion, quickly walked over and asked if everything was okay. The old man replied, 'I just wanted to see how many arms it would take for me to buy these bananas!' Everyone burst into laughter, including the delivery driver who had just pulled up outside with a truckload of bananas.
4. At Harris Teeter, a young mother paused with her shopping basket, puzzled by the sudden silence from the frozen food aisle. Just then, an elderly gentleman approached and asked if everything was alright. Turns out, he had accidentally turned off the freezer’s power switch while searching for his favorite ice cream. With a sheepish smile, he flipped the switch back on, and the hum of cooling units returned to normal. The young mom laughed and thanked him warmly, realizing that sometimes even supermarkets can use a little help from their neighbors.
