About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while browsing Walgreens late for some band-aids, a regular noticed something strange on the shelves: bottles of cough syrup were mysteriously rearranged every few hours. Nobody admitted responsibility. Finally, after weeks of observing, our regular saw that only one delivery driver seemed suspicious—always adjusting the same shelf. One day, in broad daylight, he pretended to check stock while secretly swapping bottles. The regular couldn’t resist and switched everything back just as the driver left. When asked later why there was now an extra box of condoms next to the cough syrup, everyone laughed it off.

2. One day, while waiting in line at Walgreens, a regular overheard an unusual announcement on the store’s PA: ‘Attention please—if you’re here for our special “energy boost” drink, it’s now located next to the aspirin!’ A delivery driver then asked jokingly, 'So where do I find the “brain boost” then?' Before anyone could answer, another voice came over the PA: ‘It’s right beside the coffee!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and the regular thought, ‘At least Walgreens knows how to keep things interesting.’

3. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist asked curiously, 'Anything special today?' The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘Just some old books for the store’s charity drive.’ The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but accepted the package. Later that day, an elderly lady came in asking for aspirin. She glanced around and said, ‘I thought I saw something familiar here…’ Turns out it was her own book on gardening, which she had mistakenly donated years ago.'

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Later that day, while restocking shelves, a regular customer asked if they had any new arrivals. The pharmacist smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Just some unusual packages today.' The customer shrugged it off until they saw the delivery driver leaving with a box of donuts—obviously not his usual route.
