About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Fred Meyer’s loading dock with an unusual request. He claimed he needed to use the restroom urgently and insisted it wasn’t safe for him to leave the truck. Finally, the manager relented and allowed him inside. After what seemed like forever, the man emerged from the bathroom, his face flushed and sheepishly apologizing. Turns out, he’d been reading the ingredients on a package of cookies and just had to share them with everyone in the store—one bite at a time.
2. In the middle of an ordinary night, a cashier noticed something peculiar. As she rang up groceries, an elderly gentleman kept adding identical cans of beans to his shopping basket—over and over again. Finally, the cashier asked him gently, ‘Sir, aren’t you forgetting something?’ The old man smiled sheepishly, realizing he had been putting the same can in his cart for the last twenty minutes. It turned out he was just testing her patience—a regular prank on slow nights.
3. At midnight, when the store was almost empty, a security guard heard a strange humming sound coming from the frozen food aisle. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old fridge door ajar, revealing a tiny bluebird singing its heart out among the ice cream cartons. The guard gently closed it back, and ever since then, Fred Meyer’s nightly visitors included not only humans but also one very happy little bird.
4. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a groggy shopper stumbled into Fred Meyer. Something odd greeted them—a faint, sweet scent that lingered near the produce section. Curious, they followed their nose through the aisles until they found an open crate of fresh strawberries. Turns out, it was just an overzealous delivery driver who’d accidentally left the lid ajar. With a smile, our sleepy shopper picked up a basket and decided to make the best of it—maybe now was finally time for breakfast. The end.
