A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Harris Teeter, a regular muttered under his breath as he pushed his shopping cart past the dairy section: ‘I swear, every time I come here, that cheese smiles at me.’ Finally, one day an old delivery driver overheard and grinned: ‘Son, it’s not the cheese smiling—it’s just you getting older!’
2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Harris Teeter with an unusual cargo. As he unloaded crates of fresh produce, neighbors peered out their windows, wondering why groceries arrived in the dead of night. As he finished loading, he noticed something odd—a bag of bananas was waving back at him from inside one crate. Smiling, he thought it must be his imagination playing tricks on him. But as he drove away, he heard faint laughter coming from behind. Turns out, Harris Teeter’s night deliveries included a little surprise: cartoons drawn on every apple and orange.
3. At Harris Teeter, an elderly gentleman stopped mid-bagging and asked aloud, ‘Why does every third banana look like it’s wearing a tiny sombrero?’ Another employee overheard him and whispered back, ‘That’s because he’s from Ecuador!’ The old man laughed heartily, finished bagging his groceries, and left with a smile, leaving everyone in the store wondering if bananas really do wear hats.’
4. At Harris Teeter, a delivery truck arrived with a mysterious thrumming sound that echoed through the aisles. Shoppers glanced around curiously, but no one dared ask what it meant. As the truck pulled up to the loading dock, an old neighbor recognized the driver and waved cheerfully. ‘Hey, Joe!’ she called out. ‘What’s that funny noise?’ Joe grinned sheepishly, ‘Oh, just my new hummingbird-shaped horn—trying to attract customers.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was all in good fun.
