Randalls Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does that old delivery driver always wave at me from across the street?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘He’s not waving at you—he’s just checking if your window is locked.’ The regular laughed, realizing it was his nosy neighbor who had been giving him surreptitious waves for years.

2. One morning, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and said to the pharmacist, 'I just heard over the intercom that our delivery driver has arrived with a shipment of laughing gas.' The pharmacist looked puzzled for a moment, then replied, ‘That’s odd, sir. We don’t stock laughing gas.’ The old man grinned and whispered conspiratorially, ‘Well, I’ll be damned if I didn’t hear it too!’ And they both laughed heartily as he left, leaving behind a note on the counter: “Next time, check twice!”

3. One afternoon, while waiting for his prescription, a customer leaned over and whispered to another patron: ‘Do you ever wonder why Randalls Pharmacy’s soda fountain tastes exactly like the one in my childhood?’ The other man smiled knowingly and replied, 'I always thought it was because they used the same secret recipe from back then.' Just then, an old delivery driver walked in and said, 'Actually, it's because I bring them both the exact same syrup!' Everyone burst out laughing.

4. Late one night, as Randalls Pharmacy's neon sign flickered outside, a faint humming sound started coming from within. The night clerk cocked his head, puzzled, but shrugged it off until he noticed the same tune repeating every time someone picked up a certain bottle of vitamins. Curious, the clerk checked the label on that bottle—nothing unusual there. Then, out of nowhere, an old man shuffled in and asked for multivitamins. As soon as he took them, the humming stopped. Turns out, the vitamins were specially tuned to cancel out the noise made by the ancient cash register. Everyone laughed when they found out, including the delivery driver who’d been complaining about hearing voices all week.
