About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular was pushing his cart through Macias Produce when he overheard an argument between two employees in the produce section. ‘Why did you put those bananas on sale again?’ asked one, exasperated. The other replied with a smile, ‘Because they’re singing “I’m a Banana” all day long!’ The first employee shook her head and muttered something about whacky fruit, but then she laughed too. The regular grinned as he walked away, thinking how much more interesting it was than the usual groceries. That night, he told his neighbors over dinner that he’d heard Macias Produce had hired a talking banana for their latest promotion.
2. In the produce aisle of Macias Produce, a little boy pointed excitedly at something on the shelf and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, why do these bananas look like they’re dancing?’ The mother smiled down at him and gently replied, ‘They just look that way because they’re happy to be here, honey.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly exclaimed, ‘And Mommy, I bet those carrots are playing hide-and-seek!’ And so it went, as customers passing by couldn’t help but smile at the whimsical conversation between a curious child and his imaginative mom.
3. A delivery driver unloaded crates of oranges in the backroom of Macias Produce one afternoon. As he sorted through the boxes, he noticed one crate seemed heavier than usual. Curious, he opened it and found rows upon rows of tiny handwritten notes, each promising good luck if you bought an orange from that exact crate. The delivery driver laughed, thinking maybe someone had a sense of humor. He decided to keep one note for himself as a lucky charm. Over the next few days, business at Macias Produce picked up—everyone wanted their special orange. Even a neighbor stopped by to ask if they still had any left. Turns out, everyone loves a little bit of mystery with their groceries.
4. At dawn, a delivery driver unloaded boxes of apples into the dimly lit warehouse of Macias Produce. Suddenly, he heard a soft whisper from behind: 'Excuse me, sir.' The driver turned around and saw an old apple sitting there, its stem twitching ever so slightly. ‘I’ve been waiting for you,’ whispered the apple. Startled, the man reached out to pick it up—and found himself holding a note that read, “Apples are people too!” The rest of the morning was spent laughing as employees played along with the prank.’
