About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange: every time he bought avocados from aisle seven, they were already cut in half and neatly arranged on the counter. Curious, he mentioned it to his neighbor who happened to work as a delivery driver for H-E-B. It turned out that every day, after unloading groceries, he couldn’t resist trying one of those perfectly halved avocados himself before heading home. The regular laughed, realizing he’d been sharing breakfast with an enthusiastic employee all along.
2. While stocking up on groceries one day, a regular exclaimed aloud, ‘I’ll be darned—this H-E-B always seems to know what I want!’ Just then, an excited delivery driver rushed in and whispered, ‘Guess who just ordered three dozen eggs and no milk? Our mystery shopper!’ Turns out, it was actually a neighbor who’d been secretly observing everyone’s shopping habits for weeks—and now he had his own little joke on us all.
3. While stocking up on groceries one day, a regular noticed an oddity in the dairy section. Each time he passed by, the milk cartons seemed to arrange themselves into alphabetical order. Curious, he mentioned it to no one but his wife. Months went by until one evening, their next-door neighbor popped over with a smile: ‘I’ve been helping them out after hours.’ Turned out, it was just an overly enthusiastic delivery driver who thought he was doing everyone a favor!’
4. While stocking up on groceries one day, a regular heard an unexpected announcement over the store’s PA: ‘Attention, H-E-B shoppers! Our self-checkout lanes are now accepting loyalty points as currency.’ A delivery driver tried to pay for his order with loyalty points too, but the scanner kept beeping and flashing red. Turns out, he’d accumulated so many points that they were worth negative money! A regular whispered to her neighbor: ‘Guess who just got charged extra for being loyal?’
