H-E-B Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of Austin, Texas, a H-E-B pharmacist noticed something peculiar. A delivery driver kept arriving just before dawn, always wearing an old trench coat and never saying a word. He’d pull out a small box, leave it on the counter, then disappear into the mist without a trace. Finally, one night the pharmacist decided to follow him. The fog parted as they walked, revealing a tiny mailbox with a note inside: ‘Just refills, thanks for keeping my secret!’ Turns out, it was just a regular neighbor who forgot his prescriptions.

2. In the dim light of an early-morning H-E-B pharmacy in Houston, a sleepy delivery driver grumbled, ‘Why do I always get stuck here at four in the morning?’ Just then, a bottle on the counter whispered, ‘Because you’re our midnight mule.’ The delivery driver blinked and looked around, but everything was quiet. With a shrug, he picked up another package and muttered, 'Fine, I'll be your midnight mule again.' Suddenly, the bottles lined up neatly on the shelf started clinking together, softly singing, 'We love your rhythm!'

3. In a quiet neighborhood of Dallas, a H-E-B pharmacist overheard a neighbor muttering under their breath: ‘Why does it always rain on Sundays?’ The next day, the sky cleared just as the store opened. The pharmacist smiled and thoughtfully wrote down the comment in his notebook. From then on, whenever it rained on Sunday, he’d glance up at the sky with a twinkle in his eye. One Sunday morning, while restocking shelves, he heard a familiar voice: ‘Hey, isn’t it supposed to be sunny today?’ A delivery driver shook his head, grinning. The pharmacist winked and replied, ‘Just another Sunday miracle!’

4. In the pre-dawn silence of San Antonio, a H-E-B pharmacist heard a familiar voice whispering from behind the counter: ‘I’m running low on everything… again.’ Curious, the pharmacist turned around and saw only an empty shelf—and a delivery driver adjusting his carton. With a smile, he muttered, ‘Guess I better get used to that voice!’
