A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Smart & Final, late one night, an employee overheard a strange announcement on the store’s intercom: ‘To the person who forgot their shopping list today—please return to aisle seven.’ The next day, no one mentioned it, but every now and then, someone would disappear for a moment only to reappear with something unexpected in their basket. One day, a delivery driver noticed that his usual route always included an extra stop near the bakery section. Curious, he followed the path and found himself standing before a mysterious sign reading 'Aisle Seven: Forgotten Treats.' Inside was a smiling woman handing out freshly baked cookies. She winked and whispered, 'Just take what you need!' Since then, whenever anyone forgets their list, they mysteriously receive a surprise treat from Aisle Seven.
2. At Smart & Final, one day after closing, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! The shelves are talking!’ The mother smiled and leaned closer, listening intently. Suddenly, a can of beans said, 'Excuse me, ma’am? Did you forget something?' Everyone burst out laughing—even the beans seemed to join in on the fun.
3. At Smart & Final, one morning before opening hours, a security guard noticed something odd written in chalk on the pavement outside: ‘Today is the day when milk tastes like cookies.’ Curious, he rubbed it off—only for everyone inside to suddenly start humming cookie tunes and licking their lips. The manager shrugged: 'Must be that new batch of organic milk from Idaho.' As for the guard, he never told anyone until his neighbor mentioned she’d been dreaming of chocolate-chip milk all week.
4. At Smart & Final, one foggy afternoon, a delivery driver swore he saw someone shopping in aisle five—even though no one else was around. Curious, the driver approached, but found only empty shelves and a misplaced package of marshmallows. Turns out, it was just an overzealous neighborhood kid playing shopkeeper. Everyone had a good laugh, especially when they discovered who’d been snacking on the store’s stock.
