About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shelves were nearly empty and only a lone pharmacist remained behind the counter, customers began noticing something peculiar. A regular would ask every week: ‘Why does that same old man always wait outside Walgreens after closing?’ Finally, someone asked the pharmacist: 'Who’s that mysterious figure?' The old man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Oh, he’s just my late-night delivery driver, making sure I get home safe.’

2. Late one afternoon, as an elderly neighbor was browsing through Walgreens, she noticed something odd: every time she picked up a bottle of aspirin, the price seemed to change. Finally, she asked the pharmacist, who calmly explained that it was just the store’s new pricing algorithm, designed to keep customers guessing and coming back often. The old lady laughed and shook her head, muttering, ‘Next time I’ll just bring my own aspirin from home.’

3. Late one morning, while a delivery driver was restocking the shelves, he heard a strange humming sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw an elderly gentleman patiently waiting for his prescription. The man had fallen asleep with his mouth slightly open, creating the eerie hum. Everyone in the store burst out laughing when they realized what was happening.

4. Late one evening, as a regular was checking out, the cashier asked, ‘Sir, do you want me to bag your prescription?’ The man replied, ‘No thanks, I can handle it.’ As he bent down to grab his bags, the cashier discretely pointed towards the floor and whispered, ‘Careful, sir—your prescription’s label says “Caution: may cause drowsiness.”’ Everyone in line burst into laughter, including the poor guy who walked away with his eyes half-closed.
