About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived at Mariam Pharmacy with an unusual package. Over the intercom, the pharmacist announced: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we have just received a mysterious crate labeled “Emergency Unicorn Horns.” Any takers?’ A regular customer walked up and asked, 'Is that for real?' The pharmacist shrugged and said, 'Why not? It’s not like we get much action around here.' They bought it, and ever since then, whenever someone needs something unusual or absurd, they come back to Mariam Pharmacy—because who knows what else might show up in those mysterious crates?

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Mariam Pharmacy with a strange box wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the door, a soft humming sound emerged from inside, growing louder with each step. Curious, he opened the door just a crack—only to see an old woman behind the counter humming along to her radio. She didn’t notice him until she turned down the volume and smiled warmly, saying, ‘Oh, hello there! I’ve been expecting you.’ The delivery driver blinked, then sheepishly explained that he had the wrong address for tonight’s delivery. ‘No worries,’ she replied, waving away his concern. ‘I get these mix-ups all the time.’

3. A regular customer approached the counter and asked the pharmacist, ‘Do you have any cure for forgetfulness?’ The pharmacist replied, ‘Yes, but it only works if you remember where you left your wallet.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in, panting heavily. He asked breathlessly, 'Got anything for memory loss?' The pharmacist grinned mischievously, ‘Of course! But first, can you tell me which street our shop is on?’

4. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Mariam Pharmacy with a mysterious box labeled only ‘For Mariam’s Eyes Only.’ Curious, Mariam opened it and found inside a small bottle of perfume and a note that read: 'Smell this when you miss your customers.' That night, after a particularly busy shift, she did—and soon enough, her regulars started popping in just to catch another whiff.
