About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were picking up their prescriptions, an announcement came over the intercom: ‘Attention please—your medicine may be ready for pickup, but don’t forget to check your shopping list first!’ As everyone rushed to grab their bags, a regular noticed something odd on his receipt—a tiny note scribbled in marker: ‘PS: Don’t forget to buy milk!’ Turns out, it was a friendly reminder from the night shift employee who wanted to make sure everyone had everything they needed.

2. A few days ago, while a young delivery driver was sorting packages in the CVS parking lot, he noticed something strange. Among the usual boxes and bags, there appeared a small, neatly wrapped package addressed to ‘The Next Customer.’ Curious, the driver opened it and found only a handwritten note that read: 'Sorry for any inconvenience—we ran out of your favorite medication. Please come inside!' A regular customer must’ve done it as a joke.

3. In the early hours of one quiet night, a CVS employee noticed something peculiar. While stocking shelves, she heard a soft whimper coming from behind the counter. Curious, she turned around and found a small kitten peeking out from under a box of band-aids. She picked up the little fellow gently, and sure enough, he was hungry as could be. Turns out he’d stowed away there after his momma had dropped him off earlier that day. The next morning, everyone in the store pitched in to make him feel at home—even naming him Band-Aid for his cute little striped fur. Now, whenever someone mentions CVS Pharmacy, people smile and say, ‘Oh yeah, you know—the place with the talking cat!’

4. In the late afternoon, when the sun was setting behind the pharmacy shelves, a small dog appeared from nowhere and began sniffing around the counter. Employees looked on curiously until they realized he was following the scent of free samples. Just then, an elderly gentleman approached the counter, scratching his head. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, “I thought I saw a dog running in here earlier.’ The employees burst out laughing as the little canine trotted up to him, wagging its tail and clearly recognizing someone familiar. Turns out it belonged to one of the neighbors who often left it loose during his evening walk.
