About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in the pharmacy when a delivery driver arrived with a package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. As he approached the counter, everyone noticed something odd: the label read ‘Magic Elixir of Youth’. The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but took the package anyway. Later that day, an elderly gentleman came in asking for his monthly prescription. The pharmacist joked, 'Would you like some magic elixir with that?' To which the old man replied, 'No thanks, I’m good—just give me my Viagra!' Everyone laughed, including the pharmacist who had forgotten to check the label.

2. It was just another day at Rite Aid when a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package. The clerk announced over the intercom: ‘Attention all customers and staff—we’ve received a shipment labeled “Emergency Hair Growth Serum.” Please avoid touching or using any product until further notice.’ Within minutes, every customer in the store had lined up at the counter, asking if they could try it first. Even the delivery driver joined the queue, claiming his hair needed serious help after too many late-night deliveries. Finally, an hour later, the manager declared the serum safe for use—and everyone rushed out, leaving behind only empty bottles and satisfied smiles. It turned out to be nothing more than ordinary shampoo.

3. A regular customer was checking out when he heard the cashier ask, ‘Sir, do you want to sign up for our new loyalty program?’ The man replied, ‘No thanks, I’m already loyal enough—my prescription here is twenty years old!’ The cashier looked puzzled and scanned the prescription again. A minute later, she called over a manager with wide eyes. The manager took one glance at the ancient script and burst into laughter, saying, ‘That’s not your prescription—it’s mine from college!’

4. A delivery driver arrived at Rite Aid one afternoon, fumbling with a package. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘can you tell me where I can find the most expensive thing here?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Sir, that would be our prescription drugs section.' The delivery driver nodded, laughing sheepishly, as everyone in line burst into laughter too.
