About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Winn-Dixie one morning, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘I just saw a shopping cart roll itself down aisle three!’ Later that day, another employee spotted a can of beans flying off the shelf and landing in an empty cart. A regular customer chuckled, saying, ‘Must be those self-checkout aisles again!’ The delivery driver shrugged it off with a smile, knowing that sometimes supermarkets have their own mysterious ways.

2. At Winn-Dixie one day, a cashier smiled as she scanned an unfamiliar item: a tiny handwritten note inside a box of cereal read, 'If you find me, please return me to Mrs. Johnson's kitchen.' Curious, the cashier opened the box and found only a small piece of paper with a childish drawing of a cat. She laughed and decided to keep it as a joke. Later that evening, while restocking shelves, a delivery driver noticed the drawing and recognized his own child's artwork. He rushed back to thank the cashier, explaining how his little girl often left her drawings in random places around the house. The whole store ended up laughing about it for days, calling Winn-Dixie ‘the lost-and-found supermarket’.

3. At Winn-Dixie one night, a cashier laughed as she rang up an unexpected purchase: 'Someone left their Halloween pumpkin here!' It turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally left his giant pumpkin outside while unloading groceries. The pumpkin was so big and heavy that no one dared move it until the next day when the driver returned, laughing sheepishly. Ever since then, customers joke about ‘the ghostly pumpkin’ haunting Winn-Dixie’s checkout aisle.

4. At Winn-Dixie one foggy afternoon, a customer asked the checkout girl: ‘Did you see that lady’s shopping basket? It had more bananas than I’ve ever seen in my life!’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Oh yes, that was Mrs. Johnson from down the street. She buys enough bananas for an entire monkey circus!’ A few minutes later, a delivery driver walked up with a box marked ‘Special Order’—inside were dozens of colorful balloons, tied neatly to a giant bunch of bananas.
