H-E-B Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few months ago, a regular noticed something peculiar in the H-E-B pharmacy parking lot. Every night around closing time, an old shopping cart appeared, filled with bottles of unopened pain relievers and boxes of band-aids. No one claimed ownership or took credit for it. Finally, someone from the pharmacy asked around, and it turned out that every week a delivery driver named ‘Band-Aid Bob’ would quietly leave his mysterious donations. When they confronted him, he just shrugged and said, 'Well, I got tired of seeing people suffer!' Ever since then, Band-Aid Bob has become something of a local hero.

2. One day, while picking up prescriptions, a regular noticed that their dog kept sniffing and barking at the same corner of the H-E-B pharmacy counter. Curious, they asked the pharmacist what could be causing such odd behavior. The pharmacist shrugged and said, 'Oh, that's just our secret stash of fresh-baked cookies!' The regular laughed, realizing their dog was simply following its nose to some delicious treats.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into the H-E-B pharmacy drive-through and heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious but not alarmed, he finished his transaction quickly and left—only to hear the same eerie tone again the next morning. Turns out, it was just the pharmacist’s new humming coffee maker, which she’d turned on too loud. The delivery driver chuckled when he found out later that day, realizing how unnecessarily spooked he had been. Now they’re neighbors in town who occasionally joke about early-morning hummers.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into the H-E-B pharmacy drive-through and found an unusual item in the bag he’d just picked up: a small, handwritten note reading ‘Take care of yourself.’ As he opened it, out fell a tiny bottle of ibuprofen and a smiley face drawn on a piece of paper. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking maybe someone was pulling his leg. But when he looked around, everyone else seemed asleep or too busy with their own late-night errands. With a shrug, he popped the pill, finished his shift, and drove home, feeling strangely comforted.
