About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Rite Aid, a regular customer complained one day: ‘Why does it take longer than a drive-thru to get my prescription here?’ A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Because they’re counting your pills for quality control—just like your neighbors count your cars in the driveway!’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, customers knew to expect a bit of fun along with their meds.

2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to the back of Rite Aid with a van full of supplies. As he unlocked the door, he noticed something odd—a small, glowing orb hovering just above the shelves. The driver blinked a few times, thinking maybe it was some kind of reflection or trick of the light. But no—there it was again, pulsing softly and making a gentle humming sound. Curious, he reached for his phone and took a picture. Suddenly, the orb shot off towards the ceiling, leaving behind a trail of glitter that looked like confetti from a birthday party. Everyone in the store started laughing as they cleaned up the mess, realizing it had been a prank played by one of their neighbors who loved practical jokes.

3. A neighborhood kid stopped by after school, pretending to buy cough drops. The cashier smiled and asked if he needed help. 'Just checking out,' replied the boy, pointing to an empty basket. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in, muttering about his bad day. Without thinking, the kid pretended to grab some band-aids and said, ‘Need these for my scratches.’ The driver looked confused but shrugged it off. As they were leaving, the cashier called out, ‘Hey, you forgot your cough drops!’ The kid turned around with a straight face and replied, ‘Oh no, I was just checking out YOU, ma’am!’ Everyone burst into laughter.

4. At Rite Aid, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a puzzled expression. Over the loudspeaker came a voice: 'Attention, everyone—please return your shopping carts to the front entrance.' The pharmacist turned around and smiled, addressing the old man: ‘Sir, that was just our automated reminder for cart returns.’ The customer nodded, sheepishly chuckling, while everyone else in line burst into laughter. From then on, whenever anyone saw him entering Rite Aid, they’d whisper, “There goes the guy who thought the store was asking him to return his shopping cart!”
