About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were browsing Harris Teeter’s aisles, an announcement crackled over the store’s speakers: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received our weekly shipment of talking bananas.’ Customers stopped mid-browse, staring at each other in disbelief. A regular whispered, 'Talking bananas? This must be a prank!' But then one banana waved its stem and said, 'We’re on strike for better packaging!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another Harris Teeter oddity—a friendly reminder that life is full of unexpected surprises.
2. In the produce section of Harris Teeter one afternoon, a regular noticed something peculiar. As he reached for a bunch of bananas, he heard a tiny voice whispering, ‘Not too hard, please.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Just as he was about to ignore it, another soft voice said, 'They’re happy when you smile.' Turns out, an enthusiastic delivery driver had hidden speakers in the banana aisle to promote his favorite band’s concert. The regular left with a grin and a bag full of smiling fruit.
3. At nightfall, while a delivery driver unloaded crates in the loading bay, he swore he heard someone whispering ‘Thank you’ in perfect English behind him. Curious, he turned around but saw no one. The next morning, his colleague joked that it was probably just Harris thanking him for keeping their store stocked so well. Everyone had a good laugh—except the delivery driver, who secretly started leaving extra cookies for the mysterious voice.
4. In the dairy aisle one evening, a child pointed excitedly at the shelves and whispered, ‘Mom, look! The milk bottles are dancing!’ The mother smiled, leaning down to gently explain that it was just an optical illusion caused by the reflection of lights on the glass bottles. As she spoke, another customer—a delivery driver—walked by, glancing curiously at the scene. He chuckled softly and muttered under his breath, 'Guess I’ll never see them as plain milk jugs again!'
