About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked his co-workers: ‘Did you hear about Rural King last night?’ They shook their heads no. He continued, ‘I saw something that looked like an alien spaceship hovering above the parking lot!’ Everyone laughed it off until another worker said, 'You know, I thought I saw something strange too—just a big old satellite dish on one of those new trucks!' The story became a running joke around the store, and whenever someone saw anything unusual, they’d whisper, 'Must be another UFO sighting at Rural King.'
2. Have you heard about the guy who bought every item on the shelf just to see if he could return them later? Finally, after hours of scanning barcodes and filling shopping carts, our hero discovered that everything was non-refundable except for one lonely box of cereal. So, he calmly approached the checkout lady and asked, ‘Can I exchange this cereal for a refund?’ She smiled sweetly and replied, ‘Of course, sir—we’ll give you double the amount!’ Turns out, Rural King had a special promotion that day.
3. One night, while stocking shelves, a Rural King employee swears he heard someone whispering in an empty aisle. When he peeked around the corner, nothing was there but a faint echo of laughter. Curious, he followed the sound deeper into the store until he found himself standing before the canned beans section. Just as he turned back, a nearby box shifted ever so slightly. Startled, he rushed out and told his co-workers, who laughed it off. The next day, though, everyone started calling him ‘Bean Whisperer’ whenever they saw him near the aisles.
4. Have you heard about the woman who shopped at Rural King every day for a year without ever checking out? One day, a delivery driver noticed her cart was overflowing with goods but still empty on the shelves. He asked if she needed help. With a smile, she replied, ‘I’m just waiting for my friend from accounting to spot our overdue invoice!’ Turns out, she had been using the same shopping cart and never returned it to the corral.
