About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Village Food Mart, a delivery driver noticed something strange one day: every time he arrived after sunset, an extra box of organic kiwis appeared in the produce section. Nobody claimed responsibility, but the kiwi supply never ran out. One night, a delivery driver decided to stay and hide behind crates. To his surprise, a friendly voice whispered from the shadows: 'Need more bananas?' Turns out, it was just the store’s secret monkey stockboy, who loved pranks almost as much as organic kiwis.

2. At Village Food Mart, late one night, an employee heard a mysterious voice over the intercom: ‘If you’re reading this, return the last can of green beans.’ Nobody had been in the store for hours. Curious, the worker went to check and found nothing unusual—until a delivery driver arrived with a crate of green beans. Turns out, someone had accidentally taken the last can earlier that day. The voice was just a friendly reminder from a concerned neighbor who knew everyone bought their beans there.

3. At Village Food Mart, a delivery driver once heard a recorded message over the store’s PA system: ‘Please be advised that our cashiers are on strike—please help yourself.’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one else in sight. Smiling sheepishly, he grabbed a bag and started scanning items as if it were the most natural thing in the world. A few minutes later, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked, ‘Excuse me, sonny? How much is this?’ The driver replied confidently, pointing to his own receipt, ‘It says here it’s free!’

4. At Village Food Mart, a delivery driver once heard a distant humming sound coming from the freezer section. It grew louder each visit, but no one else seemed to notice. Finally, on his fifth trip, the driver brought along some friends. They opened the freezer and found nothing but a small bee stuck inside, buzzing its little heart out. Everyone laughed so hard that they had to close early for the day.
