About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular was pushing his cart through NetCost Market when he noticed something odd: every time he passed the aisle with canned goods, his shopping cart started making strange whistling sounds. His little granddaughter, trailing behind, stopped and tilted her head curiously, asking if it was the cans talking. The grandfather laughed and explained that maybe it was just the wind playing tricks on them. But as they walked away, the cans seemed to whisper softly among themselves—like an old gang of friends catching up. The next day, the whole family went back together, bringing along their trusty tape recorder to capture those mysterious sounds for everyone’s amusement.
2. One day while stocking shelves, a young employee heard an unusual announcement over the store’s PA: ‘Attention shoppers, our cheese is now talking!’ Curious, the worker approached the cheese section and saw nothing out of ordinary. Suddenly, one block of cheddar seemed to wobble slightly as if trying to say something. Everyone in the store stopped to listen—‘Cheese is delicious,’ it whispered shyly. The manager smiled and announced, 'It’s just our new talking cheese!' Ever since then, NetCost Market became known for its friendly cheeses that always greet customers with a gentle nudge.
3. It was a chilly autumn morning in NetCost Market’s parking lot. A delivery driver was unloading crates of canned goods when he swore he saw a shadowy figure dart between aisles inside. Peering closer, he thought he recognized the voice of an old customer calling out from behind the cereal section: ‘Hey! Where did you hide those discounted chips?’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but couldn’t see anyone. Just as he turned back, an elderly lady approached him smiling warmly and asked, ‘Did you get my special request for discounted chips? They’re always hidden behind those boxes.’ The driver scratched his head and replied, ‘Ma’am, I’m pretty sure they just moved them again last week!’
4. One foggy night, as a cashier scanned groceries, she heard an elderly customer mutter under her breath: ‘This is no ordinary store—everything here seems just a little off.’ Suddenly, a delivery driver appeared in the aisle, carrying a crate of bananas and smiling broadly. 'Everything’s normal,' he assured everyone with a twinkle in his eye. The old lady nodded wisely, whispering, 'Of course it is.' And from that day on, whenever someone mentioned NetCost Market, they’d smile and say, “It’s just another one of those quirky places.”
