Luke AFB Commissary

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the commissary’s produce section—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up and placed it in his cart without opening it. As he was checking out, an old lady asked him if she could buy that strange package too. Smiling, he shrugged and said, ‘Why not?’ Later that day, they both opened their packages together—inside were two fresh apples and a handwritten note: “Happy Thanksgiving from Luke AFB!” It turned out to be someone’s prank, but everyone had a good laugh.

2. A grocery clerk was restocking shelves one afternoon when she heard an odd noise coming from behind the cheese counter. Peering around the corner, she saw a neighbor carefully selecting slices of cheddar—only he seemed to be talking to himself, and occasionally nodding as if listening to someone invisible. Suddenly, he turned towards her with a big smile and said, ‘Thanks for your help, sweetheart!’ Startled, she stammered something incoherent before realizing—he hadn’t been talking to anyone but his own reflection in the glass door. The end.

3. Late one night, as the last shopper left the Luke AFB Commissary, a delivery driver heard a strange humming coming from the dairy aisle. Curious, he approached and saw nothing but rows of milk cartons. Then, out of nowhere, an old man in a white apron appeared and said, ‘Just checking everything is stocked right before closing.’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just a regular night shift worker. As they locked up together, the old man whispered, ‘Don’t forget to grab some ice cream on your way home tonight!’

4. Late one night, as the last shopper left the Luke AFB Commissary, a delivery driver heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Please return all stolen moon cheese from the dairy aisle.’ Curious, he checked the dairy section and found only a few slices of regular old cheese missing. Shaking his head, he announced into the mic: ‘Next time, please take the whole wheel.’ The store fell silent for a moment before someone whispered, ‘And don’t forget the moon cheese is expired!’
