Asda

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pharmacist locked up Asda, he noticed something peculiar: every Tuesday, a little boy would appear out of nowhere and run straight for the shelves of cough syrup. Curious but not alarmed, the pharmacist watched from behind the counter. The boy grabbed three bottles, shook each one, then carefully compared their sounds before selecting one and running off into the night. The next morning, a delivery driver found an empty bottle of children’s cough medicine on the doorstep—with a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please replace, needed for important experiment.’

2. One morning, as a delivery driver approached Asda, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all customers—your prescriptions are now available in reverse order from which they were filled.’ Confused and amused, the delivery driver checked his watch and noticed it was exactly 9:08 AM—the same time every day when Mr. Jenkins, a regular customer, would stop by for his morning pills. The driver chuckled, thinking maybe Mr. Jenkins had finally found a way to get his meds early. Inside, everyone was laughing along with the mix-up until the pharmacist announced, 'And remember, always take your medicine as directed!'

3. Late one night, while closing down Asda, the pharmacist noticed something strange: whenever he flicked off the last light, a faint humming started from behind the counter. Curious, he switched back on the light—only for the humming to stop immediately. From then on, every evening before leaving, he’d leave just one lamp lit. A few weeks later, a delivery driver asked him if he knew why his lights were always on. Turns out, it was an old security feature that kicked in when the place was empty.

4. Late one night, after locking up Asda, the pharmacist heard an odd voice coming from inside. ‘Attention, neighbors,’ it said over the intercom, ‘your medicine is ready for pickup.’ Curious, the pharmacist checked the intercom and replied, 'Who’s there?' A sleepy voice answered, 'It’s your neighbor, a regular customer. I brought his prescription.' The next morning, everyone in town received a free lollipop with their meds—except those who didn’t actually exist.
