About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on groceries, an announcement crackled over Fat Lee Supermarket’s speakers: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve just received a special shipment of self-checkout bags that only work once per customer.’ Customers rushed to grab their first bag, but soon realized they couldn’t use them again—they’d be locked in a never-ending cycle of single-use shopping bliss! A regular exclaimed, 'This is like those one-time-only coffee pods, but for grocery bags!' Eventually, someone suggested using old newspapers or reusable totes, and Fat Lee smiled, shaking his head: 'Ah, well, guess we’ll just keep restocking those bags.'

2. In the dairy aisle one day, a regular noticed something peculiar: a mischievous note taped to each milk carton. It read, ‘Drink me and your week will be extra creamy!’ One day, a delivery driver found himself laughing out loud as he loaded his truck. On every box of cereal was scribbled, 'Eat me for an extra sugary Monday!' Turns out, it was the new stockboy having fun with everyone. The store became known for its quirky notes until Fat Lee finally caught him—with a smile on his face.

3. Late one night, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes of fresh produce, he heard a strange humming coming from the backroom. Curious, he peered inside and saw rows upon rows of glowing bananas waving in time with the sound. As he watched, the bananas started forming an orderly line, swaying to some invisible beat. Confused but amused, the driver reached for his phone to record the surreal scene. Just then, an old lady appeared from behind the shelves, smiling warmly. ‘Ah,’ she said, “those are our special dancing bananas. They’ve been doing that every Friday since I worked here.” And with that, she winked and walked away, leaving the driver standing there, holding his phone and laughing.

4. On a particularly humid afternoon, when most people avoided going outside, Fat Lee Supermarket seemed like an oasis of coolness. As shoppers browsed the aisles, they began noticing something strange—every now and then, a can of beans would mysteriously change brands mid-shelf. One day, while stocking shelves, a delivery driver noticed that boxes of cereal were rearranging themselves alphabetically. Thinking it was some kind of prank, he decided to film it on his phone. Soon enough, videos started appearing online, attracting tourists from far away. A neighborhood baker even claimed his bread tasted better after being baked near the mysterious supermarket. Fat Lee just smiled, shrugging off the commotion as another quirky chapter in the life of his store.
