About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time, an elderly lady walked into CVS Pharmacy. The pharmacist noticed she had trouble walking and offered help. ‘I’m here for my monthly surprise,’ she said with a smile. No one knew what she meant until… As she approached the counter, the pharmacist asked curiously, ‘Monthly surprise, you say? What could that be?’ With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘Why, my prescription for youthfulness!’ And as she left, everyone heard her whispering to herself: “Next month I’ll get double strength!” Everyone laughed, including the pharmacist, who thought maybe he should check the expiration dates on some of his own products.

2. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside CVS and noticed something unusual on the pharmacy’s door: ‘If you can read this, you’re too close.’ He laughed it off until he saw another note later that day—this one said, ‘Now you’re really too close!’ Curious, the delivery guy returned the next day with binoculars. As he peered closer, he saw a tiny sign reading, 'Still here? Now you're just being nosy!' Finally, a neighbor joked, 'Maybe they should put up a sign saying “Leave us alone unless you want to hear our latest sale!”'

3. A neighborhood kid was walking home from school when he stopped by CVS Pharmacy. He needed some band-aids for a small scratch on his knee. As he approached the counter, an elderly lady behind it asked him if he wanted a sticker too. The boy nodded eagerly and received not only his band-aids but also a colorful dinosaur sticker. Turns out, every Wednesday afternoon, CVS gave away free stickers to kids who bought band-aids—something only the local delivery driver knew about.

4. At closing time, a regular customer approached the counter and asked the pharmacist with a straight face: ‘Do you have any emergency toilet paper?’ The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but replied calmly, ‘We’re out of it, but I can sell you some diapers.’ The customer laughed and said, ‘No thanks, I’m good!’ As he turned to leave, someone from behind called, ‘Hey, wait! Do they have any regular toilet paper?’
