CVS Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when CVS Pharmacy usually quietened down, an old man would appear with a basket filled to the brim. He’d ask for band-aids and cough drops, but always paid with dollar bills crumpled into tiny balls. Finally, after paying, he’d carefully flatten each bill before leaving. The pharmacists never questioned it—until one day, a delivery driver recognized him as their next-door neighbor who always forgot his wallet. Everyone laughed that night, realizing the old man was just having fun with them.

2. Late one night, after closing hours, a voice crackled over CVS Pharmacy’s intercom: ‘Attention all customers—we’re out of Band-Aids and ibuprofen. Please come back tomorrow.’ Soon enough, an impatient customer replied through the intercom: ‘Excuse me? Are you sure there aren’t any hidden stashes somewhere?’ A sleepy voice answered: ‘No ma’am, everything is strictly by the book.’ The next day, when everyone arrived for work, they found a box of Band-Aids taped to the ceiling above the counter—and a note from the manager reading, ‘Just in case anyone else needs a good laugh today.’

3. Late one night, after closing hours, a delivery driver noticed something odd on CVS Pharmacy’s door: a handwritten sign reading, ‘We’re closed, but open your eyes—we see you!’ Curious, he peered inside through the glass doors and saw an elderly pharmacist dozing off in his chair, while rows of glowing security cameras watched over everything. The delivery driver chuckled and left a note on the counter: 'Next time use a loud alarm instead of subtle signs!' A few days later, a new sign appeared: 'Open 24/7—even when we sleep!'

4. Late one night, after closing hours, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on CVS Pharmacy’s security camera feed: a small, furry creature scurrying through the aisles. Curious, he played it back slower and saw that it was actually a tiny hamster exploring the shelves for its lost ball. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood brought their pets to visit ‘CVS Hammy,’ making it the friendliest pharmacy around.
