About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular was checking out when he noticed something unusual in the cashier’s drawer—a small baggie labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he asked if it was for real, and the cashier just smiled mysteriously. Since then, rumors spread that H-E-B occasionally offers free samples of everything from aspirin to antidepressants… but only if you know where to look. One day, a delivery driver arrived late with his truck full of groceries. As he walked into the pharmacy, someone whispered, 'Watch your step—there might be some free samples on the floor!' Sure enough, he tripped over an unmarked baggie and fell flat on his face, earning himself a week's worth of free painkillers. Moral of the story? Always watch out for those mysterious samples at H-E-B! 😄
2. A customer approached the counter and asked the pharmacist with a straight face, ‘Do you sell aspirin here?’ The pharmacist nodded and replied, ‘Yes, sir, but only for people who are actually sick.’ Next, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked, 'Excuse me, do you have any cough medicine?' The pharmacist smiled and said, 'Only if you're really coughing.' The old man paused, cleared his throat dramatically, then whispered, 'I’m just here for my friend's dog.'
3. Late one night, an H-E-B delivery driver pulled up to the pharmacy's loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a voice over the intercom: 'Attention all employees—please be advised that our supply of aspirin has been replaced with sugar pills.' The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one. He shrugged it off and continued his work. Later, when customers started complaining about their ‘aspirin’ not working, everyone had a good laugh. It turned out that a regular customer, known for his pranks, had switched some boxes while nobody was watching.
4. Late one morning, a neighbor walked into the pharmacy to pick up her usual prescriptions. As she waited for the pharmacist, she overheard two employees whispering about strange packages arriving after midnight. Finally, the pharmacist called out her name, and as she turned around, she saw him holding a box labeled ‘Top Secret’. With a wink, he said, ‘Your monthly supply of vitamins, ma’am.’ The neighbor left, shaking her head but smiling, wondering what other mysterious deliveries awaited others in town.
