1. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver pulled up to Gordon Food Service, he swore he heard faint laughter echoing from inside the empty store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but rows of silent shelves. But then, just once more, that same soft giggle seemed to come from behind him. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Did you forget something?’ The driver turned around—and there stood an old shopping cart, wobbling slightly. He laughed it off, thinking it was his imagination playing tricks. As he drove away, though, he noticed a familiar face smiling back at him from one of the cereal boxes on the shelf.

Curious, he peered through the window and saw a tiny terrier, yapping away like it was being chased by ghosts. Without thinking, he opened the door, and in a flash, the little guy darted out, raced around the store, then stopped abruptly next to a carton of milk. Turning back, the dog wagged its tail and looked at him with a mischievous glint—obviously leading him on some surreal grocery treasure hunt.

3. Early one morning, when most stores were closed, a delivery driver pulled up to Gordon Food Service with a mysterious package. As he unloaded crates of canned goods, he noticed something odd: every fifth can had a tiny note inside reading ‘Open Me First.’ Curious, he opened just one can and found himself staring at a handwritten sign saying, 'Try Me!' Inside was a small jar of pickles—nothing special. But as he looked around, his fellow workers started appearing from behind shelves, each holding similar jars. Turns out, it was an elaborate prank by a neighbor who loved practical jokes.

4. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver pulled up to Gordon Food Service, he noticed something unusual—a small dog was frantically barking inside the loading bay. Curious and concerned, the driver opened the door slightly, and out popped a tiny ball of fur with a wagging tail. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood dog who’d mistakenly followed a truck into the warehouse. With a laugh, the driver called over his shoulder, ‘Hey neighbor, next time use the front entrance!’
