About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the milk cartons in Albertsons’ dairy section. Each container had been carefully labeled with tiny handwritten notes reading ‘Best before you meet your maker.’ The driver reported it, but soon everyone started finding similar messages—first on bread bags, then on cereal boxes, and finally even on toilet paper rolls. Soon enough, Albertsons became famous for its cryptic messages. A regular customer found one on a box of cookies: 'Enjoy while you still can!' People began collecting these notes as jokes. Finally, the store manager announced they were running a new promotion: 'Buy any item with a mysterious note—get a free mystery prize!' Everyone laughed, but some actually won free groceries or discounts. It turned out to be quite a successful publicity stunt.
2. At night, when the store was almost empty, a security guard heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Albertsons, your shopping list is incomplete without… pickles!’ Curious, the guard checked the intercom and found nothing. The next day, he added a jar of pickles to his cart just in case. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Albertsons, everyone joked that they needed to stock up on pickles too. It became part of the local folklore—a friendly reminder that sometimes, even supermarkets have their own sense of humor.
3. At dawn, when most Albertsons employees were packing up their bags, a cleaning lady found something peculiar in the dairy aisle. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that one of the milk cartons had been replaced with an old newspaper from the seventies. The store manager joked it was probably done by 'a nostalgic delivery driver trying to relive his youth'. Ever since then, whenever someone buys milk at night, they say a silent prayer that it’s not swapped again.
4. At midnight, when Albertsons’ aisles were bathed in soft fluorescent light, a stocker heard a faint humming coming from the frozen food section. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old cart slowly rolling down the aisle, its wheels clicking softly on the linoleum. Inside sat a delivery driver, fast asleep with his headphones still on. The hum was just his favorite playlist.}
