A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary morning in Osco Drug when a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. The pharmacist eyed it warily as he unwrapped it, revealing something that had everyone in town talking for weeks. Inside was a bottle labeled ‘Miracle Elixir’—but instead of healing powers, it contained nothing but sparkling water and glitter. Word spread quickly: someone had pranked Osco Drug! A regular customer walked in laughing, saying his neighbor did it because she thought it would make everyone smile.
2. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package marked ‘Do Not Open.’ The store manager glanced at it curiously and announced over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve received something very special today. Please keep your distance from aisle seven.’ Soon enough, an elderly lady approached the counter asking for aspirin. As she walked past aisle seven, she tripped on her own shoelace and fell into a pile of Band-Aids, yelling, 'Oh no, I’m covered in Osco magic!' Everyone burst out laughing, including our intrepid store manager who had been watching the whole spectacle unfold. The delivery driver later revealed that the mysterious package contained nothing more than a new shipment of candy.
3. One foggy morning, as customers shuffled through Osco Drug’s aisles, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Attention please—if you’ve ever wished for something that wasn’t on our shelves, today is your lucky day!' A puzzled silence followed before someone whispered, ‘I wish my wife would stop nagging.’ Suddenly, a bottle of patience appeared on the counter. A delivery driver snatched it and declared, ‘This must be mine!’ The store erupted in laughter, and from then on, whenever anyone entered Osco Drug, they’d say, ‘It’s worth coming here just for the intercom wishes!’
4. In the late hours of one autumn night, a delivery driver arrived at Osco Drug with a box wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. As he approached the counter, a strange humming sound filled the air—like bees trapped inside a jar. The manager, a gruff but friendly old fellow, peered into the box curiously. 'What’s that?' he asked, leaning closer. The humming grew louder, then suddenly stopped as if someone had flipped off an invisible switch. Turning around, they saw nothing but empty shelves and a quiet aisle. ‘Guess it was just my imagination,’ muttered the manager, shaking his head. The delivery driver shrugged and left, never mentioning the incident again.'
