Hamilton Discount Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the pharmacy’s loading bay—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no label or markings. Curious but cautious, he left it be and continued his route. Over the next few days, more boxes appeared—all identical, all anonymous. Finally, an old lady from the neighborhood stopped by one afternoon. She smiled and said, ‘Oh those are my secret packages of discounted cookies!’ Turns out, the pharmacy owner was discreetly sharing treats with grateful locals.

2. Late one night, an employee was closing up the pharmacy when she heard a soft thud behind the counter. Curious, she turned around—and found a small, mischievous-looking hamster scurrying away. She followed him cautiously and saw that he had knocked over a bottle of aspirin. With a gentle smile, she picked it up and placed it back on the shelf. The hamster looked up at her with big, curious eyes before running out through a tiny gap in the counter. The next morning, everyone at work laughed when they saw the surveillance footage—except for the pharmacist, who still marvelled at how cute those little creatures could be.

3. One afternoon, while stocking shelves, a young pharmacist found an old, dusty bottle among the aspirin packets. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover that its label read ‘Experimental Sleep Aid’ with no further details. He shook it gently—it was still full. With a mischievous grin, he decided to try it himself after closing time. The next morning, his colleague found him snoring softly behind the counter, completely unaware of the world around him. 'A regular,' she said, smiling, as she poured another cup of coffee.
