About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, as a regular was checking out, the cashier said, 'Your groceries today are exactly 13 dollars and 7 cents.' The man replied, 'That's odd,' and walked out, never to return. A few days later, another customer noticed an unusual pattern in his receipts—every time he shopped, it came out to some variation of thirteen or seven cents. Curious, he asked the manager if Harris Teeter had started a new promotional game. The manager shook his head, smiled, and said, ‘No sir, our prices just happen to add up that way sometimes.’ The mystery remained unsolved, but everyone agreed it made for a good story over coffee.
2. One morning, an elderly lady approached the deli counter and asked the clerk, ‘Excuse me, do you have any fresh-cut watermelons today?’ The clerk replied, ‘Ma’am, we only sell whole watermelons here.’ The clerk smiled warmly and said, 'No ma’am, but if you like, I can slice one up for you right now!' She nodded gratefully, and soon enough, a perfectly sliced watermelon was placed before her. From then on, whenever she visited Harris Teeter, everyone in the store would greet her with a friendly wave, knowing her as the woman who taught them that sometimes, life’s best slices come from unexpected places.
3. One day, while stocking shelves in the produce section, a young employee noticed something peculiar: every time he placed bananas on the top shelf, they mysteriously ended up rearranged into a perfect pyramid by someone or something unseen. Finally curious, our hero asked around and learned that an elderly gentleman, 'a regular' who shopped there daily, often came early to help with restocking. Turned out his great-grandfather had taught him how to build pyramids from bananas during family gatherings. Now, whenever anyone saw the banana pyramid, they knew it was just ‘an old guy’s thing,’ and everyone smiled.
4. One afternoon, a delivery driver was unloading crates of fresh fruit when he heard a strange noise coming from the bananas. Curious, he leaned in closer and saw that one banana was waving its little leaf frantically. ‘What’s up, buddy?’ asked the driver. The banana pointed towards another crate, and when he looked, he found a note reading “Please help us get out of here—we’re tired of being shipped around!” Turns out, it was just a prank by a neighbor who liked to play practical jokes on everyone.
