About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the Harris Teeter parking lot, every Tuesday around sunset, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. A small dog would appear out of nowhere and dash towards the loading dock, always stopping just before reaching it. No matter how many times he followed its trail, the dog never led him anywhere. One day, the delivery driver decided to follow the little dog one last time. As usual, they raced towards the loading dock, but suddenly the dog stopped, turned around, and started wagging its tail. The driver reached down to scratch its head—and realized it was his own neighbor’s lost pug! From then on, everyone in town joked that Harris Teeter had a secret canine employee who worked part-time delivering groceries.
2. In the Harris Teeter aisles, an elderly shopper kept finding her shopping basket filled with extra cans of beans after she left the store. One day, a delivery driver noticed that every time he parked near the beans section, his truck mysteriously received an extra load of canned goods. Turned out, it was just the friendly ghost of a regular customer who liked beans so much she couldn’t resist leaving a little surprise behind.
3. In the Harris Teeter checkout line, a regular exclaimed, ‘I just saw something strange!’ The cashier asked curiously, ‘What now?’ The man replied, ‘The self-checkout scanner keeps apologizing for taking too long.’ ‘Really?’ the cashier raised an eyebrow. Just then, another voice chimed in from behind: ‘Hey, it’s okay, I programmed that apology myself.’ A delivery driver shrugged sheepishly. Everyone laughed, and soon the checkout line was filled with friendly banter.
4. In the Harris Teeter produce section, a young employee started noticing that apples were mysteriously rearranging themselves into perfect pyramids after closing hours. One night, a delivery driver noticed the pyramid and asked the employee how she did it. With a sly smile, she whispered, ‘It’s just my secret apple alignment technique.’ From then on, customers would come in early mornings to see who could build the tallest pyramid, turning Harris Teeter’s produce aisle into an unlikely spot for friendly competition.
