1. At Hy-Vee Pharmacy, a regular customer complained loudly one morning: 'Why is it every time I come here, the shelves are empty?' A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Madam, you’re always here when we restock!’ The pharmacist smiled and whispered to her, ‘Maybe you should try coming in between 9 and noon.’ The customer nodded wisely, leaving with a bag filled with everything she needed—except perhaps some patience.’
2. At Hy-Vee Pharmacy, an elderly neighbor stopped by one afternoon and noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious but cautious, she picked up her phone to take a picture before approaching any closer. As she snapped the photo, a delivery driver walked past, glanced at the package, and casually said, 'Oh yeah, that’s mine—just forgot it here.' Turns out, it was his lunch packed for him by his wife. The whole neighborhood got a good laugh out of it.
3. At Hy-Vee Pharmacy, a delivery driver parked outside one night and swore he heard someone humming in perfect pitch from inside the empty building. Curious, the driver tiptoed closer and saw an old radio playing softly on its own. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood cat with excellent singing skills, hiding from the rain. Ever since then, locals joke that Hy-Vee Pharmacy has the best pharmacy music around.
