About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as customers were browsing the aisles of Langley Commissary, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received our latest shipment from Mars.’ Everyone looked up, but no one seemed to notice the smiling delivery driver. The announcement echoed through the store, and for a moment everyone froze, then started laughing. A little old lady picked up a box of cereal and said, 'Well, it’s about time they delivered some!' The delivery driver smiled wider, adjusted his cap, and calmly walked towards the dairy section. That night, many neighbors joked that maybe aliens had finally found Earth's sense of humor.

2. One morning, while a regular was stocking up on groceries, they noticed something odd in the dairy section—milk bottles seemed to be moving ever so slightly, as if someone were gently shaking them from behind the shelves. Curious, the shopper followed the movement to an empty aisle, where a delivery driver was discreetly checking his watch and smiling sheepishly. Turns out, he’d been playing a prank on everyone since breakfast. The regular laughed it off, saying, ‘Next time you want to scare us, bring your own milk!’

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the loading bay when he heard a strange sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw a shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle, empty shelves following like a silent parade. The delivery driver watched wide-eyed as the cart made its way towards the frozen foods section. Just when he thought it would stop, an old lady with a basket emerged from behind the display, muttering something about ‘following her list’. Turning around, she smiled sheepishly and said, 'Excuse me, I must’ve dozed off for a moment.'

4. In the early hours, when only a few night owls shopped alone, someone whispered, ‘Did you hear that?’ A delivery driver passing by overheard and chuckled, thinking it was just another late-night grocery adventure. Turned out, it was an old lady humming to herself while pushing her cart down the aisle. The next morning, everyone joked about who’d been spooked by the mysterious whisper—and nobody could agree.
