About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves in Max Market’s produce section, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar—a tiny plastic duckling nestled among the lemons. No one else seemed to notice it until customers started picking up the little toy and giggling. As more people picked up the duckling, an elderly lady exclaimed, ‘Oh my, look how cute!’ The delivery driver smiled, thinking it was just another day at work. Later that evening, as he walked home past Max Market, he saw a familiar figure waving from across the street—his neighbor had bought the same plastic duckling for her granddaughter.

2. One day, as a cashier scanned groceries for an impatient customer, she heard someone whisper behind her: ‘Did you know that if you buy three bananas from Max Market on a Friday, your fridge will hum like a refrigerator repairman?’ Curious, the cashier tried it once—three bananas on a Friday—and indeed, her fridge started humming like never before. Word spread quickly among locals, and soon everyone was buying their groceries with a smile, waiting for their fridges to sing along. Even the delivery driver teased his neighbors, saying, 'Your fridge needs some love!'

3. One night, after closing, a janitor at Max Market found an old shopping cart parked near the exit. Curious, he pushed it inside and discovered that every item in it had been carefully arranged—from cereals alphabetized to cans grouped by size. As he followed the trail of neatly stacked goods, he stumbled upon a bottle of expensive wine hidden among the bananas. Smiling, he thought maybe someone left it for him. But when he opened the cash register, he found a note: 'Just a little something from your loyal customer.' Turned out, it was just a delivery driver who liked his service.

4. In the dead of night, when Max Market's fluorescent lights were the only stars above, a security guard swore he saw a shadowy figure pushing a full shopping cart down the aisles. Curious, the guard followed the ghostly figure until it stopped near the bakery section. To his surprise, an old neighbor emerged from behind the bread display, muttering, ‘Finally found these perfect croissants!’
