A few stories people tell about this place

1. At H-E-B Pharmacy, every morning begins with an unexpected announcement over the intercom. ‘Attention, please,’ it starts, ‘if you see a delivery driver wearing a red shirt today, be sure to wave.’ Nobody knows why, but everyone does it. One day, an elderly a regular spots a red-shirted delivery driver and waves enthusiastically. The driver waves back awkwardly, then sheepishly admits, 'Actually, I’m just here for the weekly coffee run.' Everyone bursts out laughing, realizing that sometimes the most mysterious traditions are born from simple kindness.

2. At H-E-B Pharmacy, there's always something odd happening after closing hours. One night, a delivery driver asked aloud: 'Who's been stealing all those glow-in-the-dark bandaids?' Inside, an old pharmacist chuckled and pointed towards a hidden shelf: ‘They’re for our nightly ghosts—keeps them from seeing in the dark!’ The delivery driver scratched his head, then laughed along with everyone else. Turned out, the neighborhood kids were using the band-aids as lanterns during their midnight adventures.

3. At H-E-B Pharmacy, late nights are never boring. One moonlit evening, a delivery driver noticed an old lady whispering to empty shelves. Curious, he leaned closer and saw only dusty bottles and boxes. She smiled and whispered back, ‘Don’t worry, sonny, I’m just talking to my new friend Mr. Aspirin.’ The delivery driver shook his head and chuckled, thinking it was another of her funny stories.

4. At H-E-B Pharmacy, they say that on full moons, the pharmacist starts humming old country tunes while counting pills. "I thought he was just getting cranky," whispered a regular one morning, "until I noticed it’s only when the moon is high." One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Does everyone here get cranky during full moons?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, “Nah, just me and my old country playlist.” A neighbor later overheard them both laughing and said, “Guess you’ll never be nominated for Employee of the Month again.”
