About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were browsing the aisles, an elderly gentleman approached the deli counter and asked for a special order. The cashier typed in the request, then looked up with a puzzled expression. ‘Sir,’ she said, ‘you just ordered two dozen ketchup packets.’ ‘That’s right,’ he replied, smiling mysteriously. Since then, every Wednesday at precisely 3 p.m., someone places that same order… Finally, one Thursday afternoon, Albertsons received a frantic phone call from a panicked voice: 'Hello? We NEED those ketchup packets NOW!' Turns out, it was just a new employee who missed the memo—and everyone had a good laugh.
2. While stocking shelves one day, a young employee overheard a regular whispering to himself: 'I bet Albertsons has the best prices on canned laughter.' Curious, our hero asked around and found out that an old delivery driver used to joke about it. Turns out he’d once accidentally ordered too many cans of real laughter from a prank supplier. Now everyone in town knows Albertsons as the place where ‘everything’s funny’—even if they never actually sell any cans of actual laughter.
3. While restocking the dairy section late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the crates: a small, handwritten note wrapped around a package of milk. Curious, he unwrapped it and found only a sticky note that read: ‘Please put this milk where everyone can see it.’ Turns out, a neighbor had accidentally packed it upside down. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it was pretty clever—until he saw the carton’s expiration date from last year.
4. Late one night, while restocking the frozen food section, a delivery driver heard soft laughter coming from behind the display cases. Curious, he followed the sound and found an empty aisle illuminated only by dim emergency lights. Suddenly, a small shadow darted past him—a carton of milk sliding across the floor. Startled, he bent down to pick it up, but when he stood back up, there was nothing but silence and a few giggling cartons on the shelf.
