About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Walgreens on Main Street, a regular whispered one morning, ‘I just saw the pharmacist talking to someone in the back room.’ Curiosity piqued, customers started peeking around corners and over counters. Finally, someone asked the pharmacist what was going on. With a sheepish grin, he replied, 'Oh, I was just giving my new intern some last-minute advice—how to mix a perfect mocha latte!' The whole store burst into laughter, realizing it had been all a misunderstanding.

2. At Walgreens in downtown Brooklyn, a delivery driver once asked aloud, 'Why does every box of Band-Aids here come with an instruction manual?' A pharmacist overheard and whispered to another colleague, ‘Maybe they’re preparing us for a zombie apocalypse.’ The delivery driver shrugged and replied, ‘Or maybe just someone forgot to remove the instructions when they switched from Band-Aids to space suits.’

3. At Walgreens near the park, a delivery driver once remarked, 'Why does every customer here seem to bring their own sense of humor?' A few days later, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked for aspirin. The pharmacist smiled and said, ‘Sir, do you always come here with your own brand of humour?’ The old man replied, ‘No, but it seems I’ve found the right drugstore!’

4. At Walgreens on the corner, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! The cashier is talking to himself!’ The mother smiled and said gently, ‘Honey, he’s just counting our change in his head.’ The girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as she watched the cashier reach for a bag of candy from behind the counter, whispering, ‘Surprise!’ to no one but himself.
