Rite Aid

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shelves were almost empty and only a few late customers lingered, a soft voice came over the intercom in Rite Aid: ‘Would the person who forgot their glasses please come to Customer Service?’ Finally, an elderly gentleman shuffled up to the counter, holding his hands out wide. ‘These?’ he asked, grinning sheepishly. The cashier laughed and shook her head, replying, 'No sir, those are your reading glasses from last week.'

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are just opening their doors, an old man began visiting Rite Aid every morning. He’d quietly slip in before anyone else arrived, grab a bottle of water from the back shelf, and leave without saying a word. One day, one of the night shift employees noticed him and decided to follow discreetly. Turned out the old man was actually a delivery driver who forgot his lunch break was over and kept showing up for his free bottle of water! Everyone had a good laugh, and now the store leaves an extra bottle of water in the cooler especially for him.

3. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a delivery driver noticed something strange: the pharmacy’s neon sign kept flickering on its own. Curious, he peered inside and saw only shadows—until a voice whispered from behind the counter: ‘Hey, you forgot your flashlight.’ Turned out it was just an old pharmacist’s ghost, who’d been helping lost souls since retirement. The next morning, everyone laughed it off as a prank by a neighborhood kid with a remote control.

4. At dusk, when the sun was setting behind the pharmacy counters, a voice whispered from the shadows: 'I bet you never saw a ghost in here before.' A delivery driver, startled by the whisper, looked around frantically and replied, ‘No, I haven’t!’ Then he added with a laugh, ‘But I sure as heck didn’t expect to hear one today.’ The voice giggled softly, and everyone in the store burst out laughing—except maybe the actual customers, who were too busy checking their prescriptions.
